This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 GTO is an all-new rear-wheel-drive performance car from Pontiac. Although it is new to the U.S. market, it is based on a car sold by GM's Australian subsidiary, Holden, under the Monaro nameplate.

Pros:
  • Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, predictable handling from fully independent suspension, loaded with standard features.
Cons:
  • Forgettable styling, numerous standard features make it an expensive proposition.

    Took delivery this weekend and havent slept since. Fantastic car!! This is an affordable,QUALITY, sophistaced hot rod. Forget the understated looks... its suppose to be that way. Just like the original. I added an aftermarket cold air intake and stage 1 chip to boost the HP to 455. Interior is far superior to any US built GM car, except possibly the Cadillac line. Save enough on the car to afford lots of tires and tickets. Gas isnt an issue with an average MPG of 20. Also very pleased with the interior room, as I am 63" and 280lbs.

    This car is everything I expected it to be and then some. Performance, handling, ride, and interior comfort are superior to anything Pontiac has produced previously. It is a joy to drive and does live up to its heritage of being the first true Muscle Car.

    A great car and with GM Card Bonus cash, it was dirt cheap. Everything about the car seems wonderful so far and after owning Monte Carlos and Grand Prixs, I would definitely consider another when I am done with this one...

    While some dislike the body style as "bland", I found it to be exactly what I wanted - no fake fender vents, no exaggerated body lines. Since the car was only built in high-performance versions, there are no "Barbie-Doll" GTOs out there like the Mustang. If you see a GTO, you know its hot. You dont have to check for a medallion or emblem on the fender. And the "plain" appearance makes it less likely that anyone will be able to identify the car as they watch your taillights disappear over the horizon. :)

  • Great Car to Drive with real muscle - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I bought this car in March and have enjoyed every minute of driving it since then. Rebates have dropped the price but I have no regrets. Everyone that sees the car compliments me on it. People have driven up to me to tell me how much they like the car and called out to me, beautiful car, while I was getting gas. The power is great. This takes me back to the feeling of the old muscle cars. Interior is well done. Once you get into the back seats they are as comfortable as the front. GM really did a great job on this car. What a kick it is to drive. I cant wait to go somewhere just so I can drive this car.

  • Better than you remember - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    My last American car was a 1969 Corvette with a 435 h.p. 427 c.i.d. engine which I bought new. Lots of fun, but everything broke. Since then it has been mostly BMWs, VWs, Porsches etc.. GM made an offer though their GM credit card that I couldnt refuse, so I bought a 2004 GTO, 6-speed. This truely is a modern muscle car, but with no rattles and NO PROBLEMS! The car is quiet, but with just the right rumble of exhaust. It gets up and goes when you want, and excels on the open road with 22-24 mpg at 80 mph. Dont let the looks fool you, this car is better in every way than the 1964 tri-power GTO that I drove back in the good old days.
