So far, so good on my new 2004 GT2. It additionally has everything the GTP has minus the engine. It's quick enough, but I'm sure the extra horsepower would be nice... I love the looks and the interior is 1000% improved. I drove a 94 GP to 201,000 miles and it was reliable till the end. I've had the 2004 back to the dealer twice (steering alignment, and the rear defogger was cutting out the radio.) Other than that, I've been pleased.

Lives up to drive excitement. Excellent proformance & handling with many great features. I test drove many other cars in this price range and found this to be the best buy and most fun. I even drove cars almost $5000 more and found the proformance and handling superior with the 2004 Grand Prix GT2

I had a 99 and loved it every day I had it. On a whim, I traded it for this 'adult' version with leather and sunroof. Almost immediately I was unhappy. The sunroof hesitated for the first 3 years then fixed itself. The front end has been repaired at least 6 times. It ate a set of tires in 8 month. Tie rods, bushing alignment issues. The interior stinks: My 6 foot husband can't get into it, period with out moving the steering wheel and seat. "leather' is all cracking, wheel is peeling, plastic is impossible to clean. I miss my 99 in myriad ways. It was huge, got better mileage. I HATE leather, especially this leather. And the AM radio is affected by sunspots or something 2x a year. weird

The new grand prix is an excellent performance vehicle. I did the 1/4 mile in 15.66 with mine. The available stages for the car provide a new level of excitement. The only problem I have is that Pontiac stopped making the coupe Grand Prix.

This vehicle attained excellent gas mileage - consistently 30 mpg, not in the low 20's as I was led to believe, and it gave me great satisfaction during the months of $4 per gallon fuel prices. Comfy seats, nice large trunk space and flip-down seats, good control and easy to drive. No major repairs were needed. The negatives: shortage of cupholders, some road noise, red dashboard lighting. Overall, an excellent vehicle for the average driver.
One Of The Best All Around Sedans Ever!

The 2004 Grand Prix GTP is one of the best all around cars I have ever owned! It has the power of a V8, the gas mileage of a 4-6 cyl, handles curves and looks great. I am a Pontiac enthusiest who loves to drive my cars, I not only drive this car to work everyday (28 miles round trip) and get 23 MPG and 28 MPG highway, but I drive on twisty roads and even around Road Atlanta. I purchased this car new and just turned over 45,000 miles and have had 3 small problems since new (intermiate shaft greased, a couple of rear defrost lines out and water leak above reading lights). It has been a great car and I can't say enough about it, very fast, handles, great looks, cool interior and options.
WOW!

Overall, a great car. I would admit that it would have been nice to have cup holders in the back seat and an auto dimming rear view mirror, but these are just minor details. Great handling, fast - maybe too fast. I love the new look. I suppose for someone who traded in a 99 Cavalier this is a slight step up in quality and performance!

I traded my '06 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Hemi for this car. Overall, the car is okay. I miss having a truck though. The car had 51k miles when I got it. Its got 61k miles and there's been some problems with it. The stability track module went bad, the moonroof doesn't function properly, window motors went bad. Thankfully, the car has a maxcare warranty from CarMax that's good for 100k miles. The previous owner kept detailed maintenance rec'ds. I can't wait to trade this car in for something bigger and more powerful.
Great Car overall :)

I picked this up as a nice daily driver. Wasn't a hard choice since I will only buy american and there's nothing else out there that really appealed to me (4 door sedan w/some pickup). The motor is awesome, no torque steer, comfortable yet sporty ride.

I wish this was a manual trans, but since that isn't 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 isn't 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 aren't 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.

This was my first new car, I traded in my 1999 Mazda Protege on it. I absolutely love it. I keep it clean and get comments all the time on how sharp it is. I have the CompG package (highly recommended) that stiffens up the rides. I have no regrets on this purchase. American owned company, the way to buy. The Heads Up Display is so nice. Talk about a safety feature, I can change the radio, CDs, cruise, all seeing it on my windshield, so I never take my eyes off the road. All these control buttons are located on the steering wheel. The HUD also displays direction and temp. The supercharger rocks! I will take this motor over a 260 HP motor w/out a supercharger any day. Hang tight!!

The GP comp group is finally an alternative to the grossly overpriced BMW. Though the sporty GM lacks European refinement, it is a godsend compared to GM's of past. The car handles great for a front driver and easily runs with a 5 series on the interstate. Performance will be its strong point. Comfort for adults in the rear is minimal, but who really cars. You buy the GTP model for the cockpit performance...This is a driver's car.
First GP, definitely not the LAST one!!!

My parents owned a 1999 Grand Prix GT 4dr that I loved to drive every chance I got. They purchased a 2002 Bonneville SLE last year, and they swear by Pontiac. I wasn't so sure with the first couple of 04's I saw, but then I drove one, a GT1, and liked it a lot. We were closing in on a GT2 with a roof and leather, and then I gave in and bought the GTP, and it's worth every extra penny. I've had it for 3 days, and let me say I finally got the cool car I always wanted in high school, only now I'm 30. So far I've challenged a couple of newer "muscle" cars, and they all wound up shaking their heads.... I'm definitely a future Pontiac buyer already.
I LOVE THIS CAR

Okay, after a week of ownership hopefully nobody would be completely dissatisfied with a $30k vehicle. I didn't like the Comp G rims at first but now I don't think I could live without them, sorta like the 35 aniv T- bird SC rims, it just goes together. I can't accurately tell about reliability at this point. But I can go over my first thoughts. The interior sets low. Its a sports car, accept it. On rough roads there is some interior noise. Its a sports car, accept it. I completely walked away from a BMW 330i on the free way, accept it!

This is my second Grand Prix. Traded in 95 with over 200K (transmission started failing). Bought my 2004 with 33K in 2005. Now has 180K and engine still runs as smooth as when i purchased it. Transmission tends to slip when HOT. This car has had NO REPAIRS since purchased. I call my car THE ONE. She will never leave me stranded :) One down fall i will admit is the back seat. With a tall toddler and being tall myself i have to adjust my seat forward for him to have room. Great mileage since day one. I take great car of my car as well and hope to see 250K before i turn her in. Or maybe i'll keep her and buy a 2008 with low mile's. Love my Grand Prix :) wish they would make MORE!!!

I am not a GM fan but bought this car for my wife who absolutley loves her new GT2 with leather and sunroof. Fit an finish is excellent. New styling is well done. Re-do from previous model hits the mark. Avoid the cloth interior. Seats are very firm and take some adjusting to get used to but lateral support is excellent. The 90 degree openings rear doors and forward folding front passenger seat are well engineeered and practical. Ample interior room and spacious trunk. Tight and quiet - firm handling.
We love it

We recently went on vacation and had this car as our rental car. We liked it so much that when our week of rental was over we were bummed out so we came home and bought it. We have only had it for a month but so far so good. Love the Onstar and Xm radio. Very fast too! My husband wishes they had a 2 for 1 special because he can't get it from me!

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 didn't even know it. This car is definitely a keeper. I was so to hear that Pontiac Grand Prix was thrown to the wolves.
Holds the road like a magnet.

My wife bought this car in October of 2004 and we have enjoyed it every day since. The handling is excellent, acceleration is good and the fold-down rear seats allow for vasts amounts of cargo space when needed. I also get great MPG (28 average). Edmunds rates that the engine is noisy, but I disagree. You can hear the growl without having to shout over it which is exactly how I think it should sound! I agree with all of the Pro's listed by Edmunds. I wish our car had the HUD as that is the only option that our GP does not have. Mechanically, our I-shaft experienced 'stick-slip', but it was covered under warranty and was taken care of by the dealer without issue. No other issues since
Good Value and Performance

This is my third Grand Prix GTP as this is what the company I work for issues (Revious years were 2000 and 1997). The 2004 GTP w/ Comp. Group Pack. is the way to go. A little more refined versus previous years though drivers seat is mounted way to high for a sports car. Tap Shift works well and is fun to operate although not required to get the performance.. The Supercharger (GTP) is and well worth it. Heads Up Display is great and controls are improved. I do miss the Auto Night Vision Review Mirror Light Dimmer though.. GM please send me one. Performance is excellent and very responsive, ride is stiffer, steering is tighter and brakes are improved.

This is my 3rd body style of the Grand Prix. I'm most disappointed with the ride. My last two have run to 125,000 miles and have had to nothing but replace the struts on the '99 model after 100,000 miles. Prior to replacing the struts, the car rode like an OLD Dodge pickup --- Every bump was felt. The '04 was purchased with 1,100 miles and rides like an OLD Dodge Pickup. I feel every bump. A dealership has aligned, balanced, etc. & still rides like a truck. Very happy with the '95 & the '99; Severely Disappointed with the '04!!!

Turned in my 2002GT. Major improvement, but still needs more. I have put over 8K on it since early September with no problems. My biggest problem is with my lead foot - my gas mileage is not even close to what it should be (20 mpg on my last tank - freeway miles)! Would have preferred a MAJOR restyling, rather than an update, but it's still better.

I bought my car as a demo with 750 miles on the odometer. My first major roadtrip was from Detroit to Rochester MN. The car handled magnificantly on both Highway and backroad driving. Acceleration was superb and it was so much fun using the Tap Shift manual shifting around some of those corners in MN. Great car!!!
Just what I was looking for!

I purchased the 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp G. If you have the money spring for the Comp G. A lot of fun to drive. Excellent exceleration, good looks and great stereo. Have always bought Pontiacs and this is a huge step in the right direction over the 2003 model. Now if Pontiac would just drop in a six speed stick. Fuel for the Soul.

Great responsiveness upon acceleration. Monsoon stereo makes driving a pleasure. Pontiac stepped up and subsidized the conversion to aluminum caps. Drive 20K + miles per year - best car I've driven.

We're a family of four and about to be empty nesters. We were looking for a minivan replacement, and frankly the $6K rebate is what sold us this car. It's good looking to us and the front seats are very comfortabe. But after a year with the car we have issues: cheap interior plastics are hard to clean; Engine has plenty of torque, but it always feels heavy; OEM tires impossible to keep balanced; it's hard to back up; and the rear seat is downright painful for anyone over 12. (We noticed the rear seat has improved in the 2005 model) Anyway, it's still fun to drive when it's just my wife and I. The stereo is excellent, it handles well and it's big V6 is good for interstate crusing.

The new GTP Comp G is by far the flag ship of the Grand Prix line up. This car is really at home on the highway using the vast power of the engine to pass with ease. Turn the traction control off and this bad boy can tear up it's front wheel drive tires like a rear drive sports car.

I didn't think American manufacturers would ever figure out that this is the kind of car consumers want. Looks great, fun to drive, good interior design, and doesn't cost $40k. Much better ride than the Maxima (which costs more) and way ahead of the Audi A4 in every way I can think of. Oh yeah - get the Competition Group option. Best $1300 you'll ever spend.

Mine had 30,000 miles when I bought. now 78,000. No problems, except do have trouble with 1 turn signal, running light. Very dependable. Would leave going anywhere in it. This is the 3rd grand prix Ive owned. Love this one. Back seats sit a little low. Very spacious trunk. Ive raised 3 kids w/ these cars. Good size, for family. Has great get up & go, when needed. Comfortable ride. Good gas mileage, for a family car. 27 miles to gallon, in town, when driven right.

I just bought a new Grand Prix GTP with the Comp. Group package, and I couldn't have been more surprised with the way the new car is built. I'm 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 won't. Lets just hope this is a first of things to come from GM.
