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.

    I bought this car as a 30th bday present to myself. Got it in silver, had only 800 miles on it for an awesome price! Wasnt too impressed with the looks until I drove it. Also looked at other cars in similar class but realized this car was in a class of its own. Love that there arent very many around town. I have only seen 5 others during all my travels in various states. I am the only one in town. Had it up to 156 at the last glance against an 06 GTO. The car has alot of power and a good driver is a great combination. Love this car.

  • Wheres the aftermarket shifter? - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This car is just a blast to drive. I purchased a 6 speed sight unseen. The vehical has turned out to be better looking in person that any of the photos that have been published. The interior fit and finish are better than anything Ive seen from any GM product in years. Unfortunatly the shifter is a piece of junk. Each and every morning its like arm wrestling a gorilla in an attempt to get it in gear. Thankfully my dealer has agreed to make any fixes that they can. If that dosent fix it Im going to look for an aftermarket replacement

    This car is the best built Pontiac in years. It is very reliable. It is A BLAST to drive. My only complant is when my wife takes it. To all that complain about is fuel economy find a Sports car with better mileage. To all that hacked its exterior design why did you buy it?

  • What fun!! - 2004 Pontiac GTO

    I love my GTO, Pontiac may have rushed this car to production, but I think they did a good job. Only irritation is with the dealer, tried some underhanded stuff and took their sweet time with the financial stuff. Car is a rip snortin good time though, and that traction control on the shifter makes green light tire chirping more tempting. Always turns peoples heads, especially when the exhaust note hits their ears. Loud Tim Allen grunts with every punch of the gas pedal. Gas mileage is as expected, also like the constant monitoring system and modes on the dash, fun to play with. Strero rocks, but would prefer Boston or Bose like my 2001 GP.

    The GTO is actually a hybrid in the sports car industry. The characteristics of American Muscle! The truth be told the European design becomes questionable with American tag on it. The GTO is much like Audi S4 or a BMW M3 as apposed to the Mustang and Corvettes. I further would like to add that I have had the privilege of running all the cars mentioned. For those who look for a performance daily driver this is a good reliable automobile. If you want to step it up a notch and have the coin. This car can produce 550hp to the rear wheels and handles it quite nicely with the traction control. In a nut shell this is a euro handling vehicle with American muscle. It is the best of both worlds.

    When I read on a car forum the amazing discounts on the 04 GTO I could not resist especially since I got a total of $10,000 in rebates and incentives!. The car is great, and I love the overall feel of the car. As a former 02 Camaro SS owner, the interior and build quality of the GTO is a huge leap forward. At first I did not like the styling, but its growing on me. Once again GM has dropped the ball on marketing their products correctly, because for the money these cars should be selling better.

    The car is muscular, and a blast to drive. I have the 6-speed. Shifting is smooth and fun. There is so much torque. It feels like you are bubbling down the highway with lots more push if you want or need it. My 6 year old daughter thinks its cool. The 4 year old always wants to take the GTO whenever we go out. Priceless!

  • Good car! - 2004 Pontiac GTO
