This Year's Model Updates:

The Grand Prix underwent a redesign for 2004, but those familiar with the big sedan will find its blend of performance and comfort hasn't changed much.

Pros:
  • Strong supercharged V6, nimble handling, attractive gauges, easy-to-use controls, big trunk, fold-flat front-passenger seat.
Cons:
  • Build and materials quality still needs work, tight backseat, noisy engine, not enough storage or cupholders, no auto climate control.

  • LOVE IT - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    What a fun car to drive. Capable of 135 without starving for power (heard it can go 142 didnt push it though). Cornering is awesome with very limited tire squeel. 1/8 mile drag strip ready, lol what a fun "Old timers car" that can woop up on some of the young teenies cars at the track, gets ya alot of attention. K&N replace filter makes a huge difference in low end power, at a rolling 15-20 mph still able to break tires loose with full throttle. Fun Fun car,

  • Top of the Line COMP G! - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    The car performs really well. Im in the military and live in England where we drive over 80mph on the highway. Accelerates with no quickly able to keep up with the BMWs, Jaguars, and Audis that I constantly see on the road. Nice styling! I get looks where ever I go!! HUD is nice and can drive without it now! Good for fast driving!

  • GETTING BETTER; not there yet. - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    WHERE IS MY AUTO-DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR?? A performance vehicle like this should not leave its driver blinded during night driving. Ive had my GTP back to sevice several times. My rear door panels buzz. One of my security lug nut caps flew off. The emergency trunk release was not hooked up and was rolling around in the trunk lid. YIKES! The entire interior vibrates at half of the Monsoons power. If you can get past the poor quality and less than advertised refinement at a bigger then should be price, the GTP maybe right for you. My GTP looks like a Grand Am and plenty of people let me know it. Booo. The incentives swayed me to this vehicle.

  • Fast, Fun, but cheap interior feel... - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    This car is a blast to drive and it is very forgiving and responsive at high speeds. The interior layout is excellent as far as the driver controls and my only complaint would be the cheap feel of the interior construction. If you are gong to get one of these (and I highly recommend it) you have to get the GTP with comp group "G". If you dont you will be sorry. I look forward to driving this car everyday, even to the store just to buy milk! The car is flat out FUN and will smoke the tires through an intersection if that is what you like to do, and that is with the traction control on. GM designers know what car enthusiasts like and they built it!

  • GM retired a powerhouse - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Bought the car in 2005 with 6k on it.Its now around 114k and still running splendidly.Never really had any major problems until last year when I accidentally hit a curb. Soon after had to replace tie rods, brakes found leaks in the coolant tank and power steering reservoirs. Got them all replaced at around 5k, now the car runs like smooth as silk. Even now i get a thrill out of an early morning acceleration rush. the a/c brings temperatures to polar regions in the peak Texan summer effortlessly. The car used to sheer through Michigan snows without so much as a sway. Many friends who had Hondas and Infinitis would ride with me because the stability of the Grand Prix in those conditions.

  • Hooray for GM engineering - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I just bought a new Grand Prix GTP with the Comp. Group package, and I couldnt have been more surprised with the way the new car is built. Im glad to see that GM is making headway against the foreign brands. The quality seems to be much impoved regarding materials and rigidity. Nice touches such as the waffle pattern head liner, or theatrical lighting when entering the car. This car feels tight in every aspect. I could go on forever about the new Grand Prix, but I wont. Lets just hope this is a first of things to come from GM.

  • I loved it when I bought it - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    As a car guy I really enjoyed this car at first. So far Ive had the steering repaired. Recently, the a/c compressor bearing went out. That skewed the belt which put tension where it didnt belong. The alternator, tensioners and compressor all needed replacement. The new compressor (a GM part) has significantly higher sides to keep the belt in place. Ive also learned theres a problem with the intake gaskets and some day theyll need replacement. (My wifes 05 Impala already went through this.) GM has some serious quality problems here and its not just on Pontiac. I hate to say it, but Ill be looking at foreign cars next time I buy and GM can only blame themselves.
