Used 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix Consumer Reviews
the family's 14th PONTIAC
one recall - breakline rub
an import beaater
I am so tired of writers saying the Toyota Camry is the best auto-- it is a bland auto. The new GP is a good example of the new thinking at GM. This car is comfortable and the styling is pure Pontiac- which is not bland! I have not had to return to the dealer for any problems-San Antonio is a very compettive mkt. for car sales. I answered an ad for $4,000 off retail and received it no questions asked! So far mr experence has been very positive with this car.

great stuff from pontiac
Good Value
This is my second Grand Prix. I bought my 97 because it was a good value and the 04 GTP comp remains a good value. I looked at the G35 and Maxima but when negotiating a deal GM remained the most competitive with a ton of rebates. The car is still fun to drive and practical when traveling. Still find the tires to be slippery in rain like the 97 but a set of Coopers will fix that in time. Had a difficult time selling the 97...hope the 04 grows on me as well.
I loved it when I bought it
As a car guy I really enjoyed this car at first. So far I've had the steering repaired. Recently, the a/c compressor bearing went out. That skewed the belt which put tension where it didn't belong. The alternator, tensioners and compressor all needed replacement. The new compressor (a GM part) has significantly higher sides to keep the belt in place. I've also learned there's a problem with the intake gaskets and some day they'll need replacement. (My wife's '05 Impala already went through this.) GM has some serious quality problems here and it's not just on Pontiac. I hate to say it, but I'll be looking at foreign cars next time I buy and GM can only blame themselves.
