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.

  • Great car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Bought car used with around 29,000 miles. I have put almost 10,000 miles on it and have had only one problem--gas cap went bad (???). car runs great. Its a blast to drive. The interior is good too. The styling isnt great but it grows on you. Also gets pretty good gas mileage (around 20 city/hwy avg).

  • GOOD TIMES ONLY - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I HAVE JUST TAKEN A LONG TRIP WITH MY GTO AND FAMILY. A COMFORTABLE TRIP WITH GOOD GAS MILAGE OF 21.90MPG WITH THE AIR ON AND AN AUTOMATIC. IF YOU LIKE GEARHEAD GET UP AND GO NONE BETTER. IVE HAD THE BMW M3 TOO SMALL, HARSH RIDE, NOT THE SAME POWER. GO GTO. GREAT AC GETS SUPER COLD. I HAD A LEXUS FELT LIKE DRIVING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM VERY BORING. GREAT SEATING IM A BIG GUY AND HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, I CAN EVEN STRETCH OUT MY LEFT LEG FULLY, WHICH IS GREAT ON A LONG TRIP. NEED TO PACK LIGHTER ON A TRIP USE COLLAPSABLE LUGGAGE. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS TWO GOLF BAGS FIT FINE. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY, MY WIFE LOVES TO DRIVE IT.

  • Love it - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Bought used with 30,000 miles, best car i have ever had, Im over 40 and have had 3 Trans ams 2 camaros 2 chargers, more mustangs than i can count and this car is without a doubt the best of the lot, seats are out of this world, fun to drive, power when you want it and i mean when, like now power. Fuel mileage is about 20 on the hwy, could care less about trunk space or passenger comfort, good sound system, did i mention the seats, styling is fine for a guy my age. I plan on keeping this car a long time.

  • 2000s Muscle Car - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is the best new muscle car Ive ever driven. Interior is very comfort- able. The amenities are outstanding. The only bad thing is the gas mileage. You cant tweek it like the old Muscle cars. Saw the new 2005s and the scoops are great, but are they true ram? Reliability of the GTO is great. Only two probs to speak of. Seats started to make a ratchet noise after 2 months. (No fix yet per Pontiac), and on steering volume controls go up instead of down once in a while. (Cant determine prob). Car is stylish, mean and growls nicely. A head turner of today. The six stick and engine vet pack is perfect! Gotta get one for my mom. (Shes a motor head too!)

  • Still in Love - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive had my GTO since February,and still have the grin on my face. No problems after 6700 miles, and having fun safely and with authority on the road. I have the automatic, and after a recent dyno tune and tranny adjustment, the car has a performance level close to a manual transmission. The sleeper look keeps me out of traffic court, as does the necessary radar detector. This car is a bargain at MSRP--the deals offered right now make it an absolute steal.

  • Love my Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Awesome car, handling is on par with my 97 328i it replaced. Horsepower is more than you could ever ask for. Fit and finish are the best I have ever seen from GM, especially in the interior. Speaking of which these are the best most comfortable seats i have sat in.. Add to that the limited production its like driving a Maserati or somethign equally as rare. You rarely ever pass yourself, and when you do its an occasion.

  • AUSSIE SUPER EIGHT - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    this car is a real performer, tried & tested for years in Australia this fully imported machine is awesome, being from Australia I have always been a HOLDEN guy, & when I heard they were being exported to th USA, I had to have one, who cares if they changed the name from HOLDEN MONARO to PONTIAC GTO this machine kicks butt !

  • After 1 year still more impressed daily! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is one of the most mild natured cars we have owned. It is quiet and smooth riding with an almost luxurious interior. Very civil and predictable putting around town and in the parking lots. But when you head up the entrance ramp to the highway and push down on the throttle, the thrust is unbelieveable. No complaints about anything on the car. The stereo is adequate. The mileage has been between 20-21mpg consistently with the automatic. With 350HP that is pretty good, I think. A 117HP car would need to get 60mph to match its MPG/HP efficientcy.

  • Smiling Owner - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive owned my Red Goat for about 3 weeks. It is true that the exterior is a bit subtle. But on the other hand, when you start it up, that is when you turn the heads. It is hard to keep from smiling when you drive it! And like another reviewer said, you find yourself turning down the sound system to listen to the engine!
