Have driven 25-30K per year and never done anything except routine or preventive maintenance. This has been the most reliable and best performing vehicle I've owned in 30 years of vehicle ownership. Can haul a family of 5. The flat folding passenger seat can allow you to carry items up to 8' in length.

This car is impressive. Refined, & fun to drive too. Engine is smooth, great interior w/lots of thoughtful touches and a killer sound system. Have had my Grand Prix about 2 months. Looked at Nissan, Hyundai & Saturn & know I made the right decision. I'm proud to say it's a great American car!

The GP 2004 was my choice for company car for the next 3 years and I am not dissapointed. Excellent acc. off the line and moderate to good handling make this car a sales reps dream. The interior design is fine outside of the classic stock GM stereo (easily replaced). Improvements in glove compartment space and hangers for suit jackets in the back would be nice. This is an excellent step up from other pontiac contributions in the past. I would never chose this car over an import if I were going to spend my own money.
Simply a great 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.

I GOT SUCH A GREAT DEAL ON THIS CAR, I COULDN'T PASS IT UP. REBATES, PREFERED SUPPLIER DISCOUNT, GM CARD POINTS, I GOT 29.6% OFF RETAIL. TEST DROVE THAT JAPANESE CRAP AND FOUND THIS VEHICLE TO BE BY FAR THE BEST FOR THE MONEY. THE 3.8 IS RATED AT 200HP BUT FEELS LIKE 230. YES, THE REAR SEAT IS FLAT AND NO CUP HOLDERS BUT THIS CAR ISN'T DESIGNED TO BE A FAMILY TAXI! GET OVER IT! THE STYLING IS AWESOME!!
Exciting Family Sedan!!!

As a former salesman at a luxury high- end new car dealer, I am definitely impressed with this car! And, I've driven probably a couple of thousand different cars(cadillac, lexus, infinity, acura, and the normal domestics, etc) Pontiac did an excellent job with the 2004 Grand Prix. I kept finding myself going ever so faster on the highway. Virtually no roadnoise at 80 mph+. I recently did a 300 mile road trip through small towns and highway driving & averaged 28.5 mpg. Tons of legroom in the front seats. Easy to read displays. Some people complain that the interior plastic is too plain, but I was never a fan of imitation wood trim as on some of the "high end" cars.

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.
grand prix rocks!!!

I shopped this vehicle and compared against the Nissian products and prices. It was an easy decision to pick the GP when GM is offering great incentives. Rebate, GM card points, dealer discount. When all said and done I saved 29.6% off MSRP. The GP isn't as refined as the Altima but at less then 18K this car offers the most "bang for the buck!" This is a small price to pay to sacrifice refinement which is over rated any way.

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.

I was a very content foreign car owner until I purchased the Grand Prix GT1. The few American cars I had never seemed to peak my interest. Until I saw the Grand Prix. Not only does it have the feel and the ride of a high end luxury car, it grips the road like no other car in it's class. The roomy interior and sporty exterior make this car an excellent car at an excellent price!
Great car, rear end is ugly though!

I have an orange 04 GP and I love the way it looks except the rear end and the fact that the body hasn't changed at all since 03. The leather is wearing and I only drive about 3000 miles a year. Stereo is good. Bass is good for a stock cd system Very good handling and control in all weather and the engine can haul a$$ when you need it! The cabin room and design is nice and the trunk is huge (my last car was a Grand Marquis so I'm used to lots of trunk space!) I would definitely suggest this car

I got my car on my birthday I have a maxima since 2001 I love that car with 200000 on it no problems. My Grand Prix drives on the highway better that any other car I've owned. My max 8 years old but the handling is way better on the Grand Prix to bad pontiac is gone but maybe they might bring back the Grand Prix. I love the sterio the leather seats and traction control feels like the ground is dry in the rain and snow. I got a good one if your looking for one it's a nice car. I have a 1994 BMW too I thought GM didn't compare I was wrong. My dealer got my to drive it I was hook since it hugs the road like a GT racing car.

I purchased my '04 Grand Prix recently and it handles like a dream. The car is so comfortable on the inside with a cockpit like design and the exterior without a doubt turns head everywhere. It has lots of power when you need but purrs so quietly it is easy for passengers to sleep on the longer drives. The 'wide' design of the car makes it steering and handling on the road comfortable at any speed and the interior is spacious. I recommend this car to anyone who wants a sporty car as well as want to drive in comfort and class!!!!!!

This is a great looking car, which handles extremely well. Stopping power is excellent. This is my 18th General Motors product, most of which have been Pontiacs, Bonneville SSE's and SSE'i. This is the best put together car that I have ever owned from General Motors. Everything fits exactly the way it is supposed to, from interior to exterior.

Very responsive, great power and comfortable is how I describe the 2004 Grand Prix-Comp GTP This is my second GTP and Pontiac has improved. The tap shifter takes a chapter from Ferrari and makes the car fun to drive. Engine is a tad noisy. Leather interior seems to be much better grade than in past.

After months of looking at various vehicles, including imports, we settled on a Grand Prix. Best decision we ever made! Sporty, powerful, and great fun to drive. Anyone looking at ANY 4 door family sedan should take a long, hard, serious look at this vehicle. Beats any Honda, Toyota, Nissan offering out there.

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.

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.

The first time I saw this car it was awesome and totally redesigned inside and out. The interior is updated to today's standards. The plastic is covered up in the front and the back. The sound system is the cheaper one but still sounds awesome. The leather is firm and takes time getting used. The steering wheel and the controls are great. Overall very nice car.

My first car was a 1965 GP. Since then I've had a '77 GP, and '97, '98, and 2000 GTP's before I took delivery of my black GTP with Comp G package a couple of days ago. I wasn't real impressed with the styling changes until I took a second look and a test drive. 17" wheels outside and leather interior inside make a BIG difference. This car moves! I like the 20 more horses over the previous GTP's and I use the TAPShift ALL THE TIME! Driving excitement is back at Pontiac! This is a driver's car. Get one, and drive yourself happy!

I have had this car 4.5 years and have loved every minute of it. I have two kids so the 90 degree back doors are great! The performance, acceleration, and interior are wonderful. I would like a higher roof line though. My husband is 6'3" and hates sitting in the front seat. But it is my car!

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.

With the 2004 Grand Prix GTP Pontiac has taken big strides forward and a few small steps backward. Starting off with fresh and exciting sheetmetal the GTP continues its promise with exhilirating performance even using regular gas. This is a confidence-inspiring vehicle that is fun to drive. The TAPShift feature is meant for spirited driving but here in northeast Ohio I find it especially useful for driving in snow. Minor irritations include the wierd assortment of plastic interior materials and the elimination of the electrochromic rear- view mirror and dual climate controls for driver and passenger.

The engine preformance is great for a V6, it will put you back in your seat. Cup holders are needed in the rear seating area and an arm rest, ashtry would also be nice. I can't say enough about the sedan, I'm 41 years old and would never think about owning anything other than a coupe but this machine did win me over!

Car is decent. Wouldn't really recommend buying one. The car is fun to drive and accelerates well on the highway but from standstill, is sluggish. Interior design components are kind of cheap and the overall build doesn't seem as if it will last beyond 5 years, unlike foreign competitors. Engine noise is also very loud and mileage is below average

Having lost our 1994 Grand Prix GTP to an accident, we knew that we wanted another. Were we surprised to see that the 2004 model was already out. It was somewhat of a difficult choice between the GTP with or without the Comp G package. The deciding factor was availble color. We didn't want to wait for the Comp G in a different color. I am the primary driver and I cannot say enough about the handleing of this car. It has the manuverability to get me out of any tight spot and is very stable at any speed. I love the cornering abilities and love to use and abuse the speed limits on curves.

So far I don't have any complaints with the vehicle, but I would have enjoyed it more if it were rear wheel drive. The GTP has more power than a front wheel drive vehicle can handle. That said, this car is still fun to drive. The gas pedal response is great. I get a lot of compliments about the style both inside and out. I wanted a Infinity G35, but now I have a new car and money to finish my basement. I did take a little hit in performance, but not a whole room full of furniture worth. I saved over $10,000 by my decision.

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.

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.

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.

Other than the initial recall of the gas pedal assembly when the car was new, I have had no issues with this car in the 6+ years/66k miles I've had it. Other than routine maintenance, I haven't put a dime into what would be considered a "repair". It's by no means a "sports car", but it is very good at what it's intended to be--a comfortable, quiet, good handling, RELIABLE sedan. And fuel mileage is decent too-- 30 mpg @ 70 mph on long trips/20 mpg stop & go. If it continues to be as good as it's been, I will drive it until the wheels fall off, which should be quite a few years off.
