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.

  • 2004 GTO is Great - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    My Black with Red interior 2004 GTO is everything I was led to believe it was. It runs great, has plenty of power, and at 4000 miles Im averaging 24 mpg. I took delivery the middle of January and the only thing it does not do real well is SNOW. It corners well, brakes well and takes off well. If I had the spare cash Id buy one for each of my boys. Ha Ha!

  • Best bang for your buck! - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    This car is very powerful, quiet and comfortable. The fit and finish is better than most GM cars I have seen.Four 6ft tall adults can find comfort in this car. you can also add a rear facing car seat in back. Try either of these with a mustang.You will be sorry.I have the six speed Great gas mileage for a V8 with 350hp. Ive been getting 22 all around.My driving has a good mix of city and interstate.

  • You Auto Goat Buy One! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I like the style better than the 99 Camaro I traded. This car looks great in my garage, and goes like a demon on the street. Traction control is almost idiot-proof on wet roads. I will not drive in snow, so it will stay off PA roads until April. I have put 1100 miles on it in the 3 weeks I had to drive it!

  • Love this car......... - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive owned a lot of new cars and old muscle cars, this GTO drives and rides solid. Lots of fun (and power) too. Will likely get the 05 or 06 at some point.

  • Had it a month, its PERFECT - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Ive had it a month and I LOVE it. Its fun to drive, comfortable to ride in, and unbelievably fast. Its not for everybody (family with frequent use of the back seat, someone who needs a large trunk, etc...). But, if you want a fast, fun car in a 2+2 configuration, this is the car. For me, its a dream car. Ive wanted a fast car for 30 years. For me, this one is perfect. Even the stereo is fantastic... 6 in dash CD, 200W and 10 speakers... I look forward to driving it every day.

  • New Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This is a true throw back to the muscle car era. It both sounds and performs better then my 426 hemi, 440 Plymouth GTX, and firebird trans Am that owned in prior years. Being in my fifties, I must say that the seat is extremely comfortable and after exiting the car my back feels great. This adds to the overall driving experience.

  • Return of the Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This GTO is the best GTO ever built. My dad bought this one and let me tell you it drives like a dream. My dad also has a 1966 GTO and he definitely likes the new one better because its better, faster, more fun, an more reliable. All I can say is that its awesome, and I sure as hell hope that GM builds their Ram Air 6 concept as the next GTO Judge. THE MUSCLE DAYS ARE BACK AND HERE TO STAY.

  • Fantastic Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    My 2004 GTO is by far the most refined, comfortable and fun to drive vehicle I have ever owned. It easily surpasses the performance of both the 96 Mustang GT and 98 Camaro Z28 I have owned previously. I do not miss the scary feeling of the rear ends of these cars trying to "kick out" every time a slight road imperfection would be encountered when cornering. The GTOs independent rear suspension (which, along with its motor, it shares with the 2004 Corvette) is a huge improvement over the live axle setup of many other muscle cars, including the 05 Mustang. While the new Mustang may have more flavor in the styling department due to its retro look, I have really come to appreciate the GTO.

  • I like mine black, please. - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Sunday morning coming home from Toys RUs drove past the Pontiac dealership and stopped just to look around. Never saw or heard of this car before. What is it? Had to bend down to see the side plate, GTO 5.7 L. What? Got behind the wheel, nice! Salesman comes out of nowhere and sits on the passenger side. Want o test drive it? Gave me the key and I started the dammed thing. Rooom! I could feel the power in my hands as the seat vibrated, room, roooom. Shifted to drive and the whole car tilted backwards. Stepped on the accelerator and I felt the G force as I was pushed against the seat. Awsome machine!!!! Bought it. Expensive and a thrill to drive.
