Overview & Reviews

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.

• Strong supercharged V6, nimble handling, attractive gauges, easy-to-use controls, big trunk, fold-flat front-passenger seat.

• Build and materials quality still needs work, tight backseat, noisy engine, not enough storage or cupholders, no auto climate control.

  Pontiac got it right - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By stevek - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Pontiac got this one right. I compared vs. Maxima, BMW, and Acura. The power is there when you need it. Car isnt as flashy as older Pontiacs, can be a sleeper if you want it to be. Handles like a dream, especially when taking off ramps at speeds above the recommended level. Mileage is OK for this size and power. Didnt get the comp G package, but got sunroof (surprisingly quiet). Quality of leather interior not bad for this level of American car. Most of all, it is priced right.

  Horrible and terrible vehicle - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By jimmac404 - July 14 - 1:06 pm

  This was the most awful car that was ever purchased by me. From the time I purchased the vehicle to the time I got rid of it, which was 2 months, the car spent more time in the shop than on the road. Lucky for me the dealer attempted to fix all the problems but this car as far as Im concerned was beyond repairs. First the rear suspension went out, then the air conditioner and finally the car leaked inside from a heavy rainstorm. Pontiac should have went out of business instead of Oldsmobile. Car was traded for a 2005 Chevy Impala which was 10 times better. No Pontiac ever for me!

  Quality Open Road Car - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By BobC - July 12 - 1:30 pm

  I live in the middel of Kansas, driving highway miles all the time. Put on 13,000 miles in 6 months... Like the road feel and Traction Control in rain and especially snow/ice. At 70 mph, running only 2,000 rpm, the engine is lazy... with quick capability to pass through tight times. Love the trunk supports, which allow full use of trunk height-wise and even use the fold down rear seats two times... Fold down seat in winter to get ice buildup thawed out from heat inside car..

  The Grandest of Them All - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Kathy - June 29 - 12:00 pm

  This has been the grandest of all my vehicles. I absolutely love this vehicle. I actually get 27-28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. Outstanding vehicle, power in the engine is great. I love the hauling space with the fold down back seats AND the extra fold back front passenger seat. This was my first vehicle with traction control and what a difference that made this past winter when I was on black ice and didnt even know it. This car is definitely a keeper. I was so to hear that Pontiac Grand Prix was thrown to the wolves.

  be a patriot- buy American excitement - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By billd - June 26 - 3:23 am

  I wish this was a manual trans, but since that isnt possible. Still, the car is a blast to drive, and still gets about 28 combined highway and city. I actually like the previous/more curvy style, but this looks nice too. Large trunk and lots of interior room, but getting in and out of the drivers seat isnt as easy as my van was. Did i mention just how much fun this is to drive? I have a 65 gto convertible and a 78 formula firebird that get about the same MPG after years of work, but they still arent as fun to drive as this one is. If this was a 4 cylinder turbo with a manual trans it would be the best car i had since my 87 ford t-bird coupe.

  Who needs steering? - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Stang - June 12 - 7:46 am

  I hate the variable speed assisted steering. Had to replace the steering box, $1,200, because of leaking fluid. I came back from my test drive asking what the whining in the engine came from. Just outside my warranty I discovered the problem. After fixing the problem, it still cuts out at low speeds. Will not buy a car with this type of steering again. You basically pull in at slow speed turn and you go straight instead of turning. Not good!

  Great Value - 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Abev107 - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Overall the GTP is a great value, but certainly not a value car. Why spend 8-10k more for other cars in its class when this car outperforms them. I bought the car with the competition group package; not sure if the other Grand Prix models perform like this one, but... I think the only thing that limits the speed that I take a corner is how much stuff inside the car I have that can slide around b/c I have yet to make the wheels squeal in a turn. Overall acceleration is excellent, standard radio is more than enough power and clarity.
