I really hope this hits the top if the list lol. Car is awesome I love it, but if you don't know anything about cars these 2 things will save you a lot of grief and time pull the glove box in the top right hand corner under the dash is the bcm wiring harness put a wire protecter on it. it rubs on the glove box support beam causes a bunch of issues if you don't fix it. Secondly pull the driver side engine cover replace the fuel line with a steal braided one or else fire will probably occur besides those 2 issues 138xxx miles and she's still running strong with a stage 2 clutch header back exhaust stage 2 brakes and poly eurothane bushings gets ride of the body roll for most of your handling problems. Also the power steering line if not adjusted after about 100xxx miles will leak on your alternator but that's kinda just wear and tear

This car is great, and for the price unbeatable. The ls1 and tremac 6 speed combo is a great combination. Wonderful power and sounds mean when you put the pedal down. But, it also has the ability to be quite when leaving the neighborhood at 6 am. This is not a car for the Eco conscious or one looking for the cheapest route from point A to B. This is a car where you will enjoy the commute. Right now, I am measuring the car in smiles per gallon, and believe me, that number is quite large.

I bought the car used in August of 2012 with 7,000 miles. It was the best bang (horsepower) for the buck I found while car shopping. I use the car as my daily driver. Plenty of power for everyday driving. Passing people is a breeze. No mechanical problems to date.

The best car I'll ever own!

I've only owned my 04 GTO for a little over a week now, but have loved them ever since they re-released them. In this short time, I've come to the solemn reality that this is the best car I'll ever own! Everything about the way the car drives, handles, accelerates, brakes, was designed to perfection. Everyday I make a boring drive to a boring job, but I'm smiling ear-to-ear both to and from! My GTO is black, with black windows and black rims- very sleek. Anytime I'm just cruising around, I constantly see people turning their heads to watch me drive by and listen to the wonderful low rumble. I haven't pinpointed it yet- but there is just something about this car that is just menacing.

Either you "get" the last generation GTO or you don't. Those who "get it" almost feel like they're in a club - there's that occasional eye contact from other GTO drivers that says "there's someone else who understands". The GTO is all about "stealth" - especially the 2004. Looks like any other car on the road (especially to police) while more capable than anything even remotely close to its price. I've wanted this car for 20+ years - I'm glad GM had the guts to build it. This is a BMW "6 series" for the masses.

I took over a lease in october 2005. It was a great deal or I would not have considered it. The lackluster styling of the car is a real fooler. Once I took it out for a drive, I was hooked! I owned a 1964 GTO, 4 barrel with auto transmission in 1968 & 1969 with fond memories, but WOW what a difference. all I can say is if you don't drive a new GTO you have no idea what you are missing. The plain Jane styling is somewhat of a blessing since the cops don't seem to notice the car at all, so far so good, no tickets yet! I did have it up to 135 MPH & there was alot left to go, but that was fast enough for me.

This is my first GTO--the car was more than I could have hoped for. Pictures don't do this car justice. Its comfortable, fast, and looks good. This owner gives the 04 GTO two thumbs up. I am a large framed person, over 300 pounds and I fit in the car with no problems. Plenty of room for me and passengers. I would by another but I we get snow here in Ohio and sports cars don't do well in the snow. I have not had the chance to get this car on the track but I will the first opportunity I get!

My last American car was a 1969 Corvette with a 435 h.p. 427 c.i.d. engine which I bought new. Lots of fun, but everything broke. Since then it has been mostly BMWs, VW's, Porsche's etc.. GM made an offer though their GM credit card that I couldn't refuse, so I bought a 2004 GTO, 6-speed. This truely is a modern muscle car, but with no rattles and NO PROBLEMS! The car is quiet, but with just the right rumble of exhaust. It gets up and goes when you want, and excels on the open road with 22-24 mpg at 80 mph. Don't let the looks fool you, this car is better in every way than the 1964 tri-power GTO that I drove back in the good old days.

I am the original owner of my GTO and it fits me perfectly, It should have had two hood scoops, but it actually keeps me "under the radar". Great to drive, extremely reliable. They'll have to pry it out of dead hands. Best car I have ever owned. If i get a new car, I will still have my GTO.

I have loved mine since I have purchased it. Wish it had the 05-06 Ram Air hood and dual exhaust but other than that I love it. I have replaced the box air filter with a K & N cold air intake. Removed the stock exhaust and replaced it with a Corsa exhaust and replaced the stock headers with a set of Edelbrock and love it. Are there cars out there faster? Sure, but there are not to many and a lot of those have some form of power adder. If you purchase one be prepared to have Mustangs, Charger's, and Challengers want to see what you got. You can show them or do what I do, let 'em go, because they are not even worth the gas.

I've owned and driven a truck for eight years. After finally getting a chance to get my long awaited sports car, I bought the Pontiac GTO. My 2004 model drives and feels like a European business coupe, but the pedal feels like good ol' American muscle. The new GTO is a unassuming beast, only recognized when you hear it roar.

Purchased the car new for $25,999. Has been absolutely bullet proof ever since. Maintenance costs are nothing. Reliability has been perfect. Enjoy this car thoroughly. Installed an aftermarket transmission and bolted on plenty of Holden parts from Australia. Get positive comments from passers by constantly. Have no idea why this car wasn't a huge success for GM.

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.

Great car all around so far. Plenty of power with decent mileage. Six speed is a lot of fun; the only way to go. Haven't owned long enough to gauge reliabiltiy, but to date very good with 9000 miles. Stereo is good with fair equalizer features (would like to do more manual adjusting). Front seat motors are very slow so backseat entry is a pain. Trunk is small but don't really use it anyway. Front seats are excellent.

While some dislike the body style as "bland", I found it to be exactly what I wanted - no fake fender vents, no exaggerated body lines. Since the car was only built in high-performance versions, there are no "Barbie-Doll" GTO's out there like the Mustang. If you see a GTO, you know it's hot. You don't have to check for a medallion or emblem on the fender. And the "plain" appearance makes it less likely that anyone will be able to identify the car as they watch your taillights disappear over the horizon. :)

Bought used with 30,000 miles, best car i have ever had, I'm over 40 and have had 3 Trans am's 2 camaro's 2 chargers, more mustangs than i can count and this car is without a doubt the best of the lot, seats are out of this world, fun to drive, power when you want it and i mean when, like now power. Fuel mileage is about 20 on the hwy, could care less about trunk space or passenger comfort, good sound system, did i mention the seats, styling is fine for a guy my age. I plan on keeping this car a long time.

The new GTO is a true modern muscle car. Yes, I remember driving the original GTO's, and my 2004 is as fast or faster than the best of the 60's. The difference is that it handles better than most sports cars and is quiet and relaxed on the highway. I've owned mostly BMW's, Porsches and other euro cars, and the build quality of this built down under GTO is as good as any of them. With a 160 mph top end, 14 seconds flat in the quarter, and real world economy of 18 to 24 mpg this is a great car.

Bought used with 65,000 miles. 6 speed manual. It was a great performer and very fun to drive, but had a plethora of problems. After I got rid of my Ford Ranger 4x4 (daily driver) this became my daily. Whenever I would accelerate and bring the car to about 4300 rpm, all electronics would cut off and the headlights would get brighter, sometimes causing the bulbs to blow. Had an airbag light go on for no reason and it seemed to fix itself. Rode like crap, handling was mediocre, and build quality was less than spectacular. But it sure sounded good. I blew mustangs away all the time. It can also lay down rubber like nobody's business too. And fuel milage was surprisingly good. Almost 30 MPG hwy.

I purchased a one owner clean carfax GTO in December, 2012. The car developed some strange problems including the rocker panels filling with water (removing drain plugs solved the problem), which caused the interior floor to flood after it rained. The horn also went off randomly by itself and the air bag fault alarm was triggered by the airbag sensor located under the passenger seat. I had all of the aforementioned issues resolved and the car has been great since.

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.

GM service was friendly and helpful, not pushy or annoying. This was the third GM dealer I've worked with and they all have a consistency for low key sales push which is wonderful for a consumer. The vehicle purchased was manual yellow jacket with antracite interior and I couldn't be happier. It is a 2004 model and yet has all the power one could ask for.The vehicle has one of the smoothest rides you'll encounter. Corners amazingly. Stereo is loud and clear, picks up reception well even in difficult spots.True dual exhaust sounds wonderful; there is always a nice humm while crusing without stops. Idle sound purrs. Windows tinted perfectly.Leather quality fantastic. Clear coat superior.

My first V8. Owned many 4 and 6 cyl and turbos. I Love it. Power at any time. Awesome sound under full throttle. Plenty of comments from bystanders. THey always ask "Is it fast?" My response. Oh yeah, plenty. The build quality is not typical pontiac for this is my third to own. Styling is sleeper which I like. Don't need hoodscoops and other eye candy. Glad there is not tons of them on the road which makes me feel lucky to own one. My wife even likes to drive it and she didn't care for it at first. I took the automatic because not interested in shifting gears anymore and can still get a nice chirp shifting into second gear. Way to go Pontiac with the GTO. Thanks.

My 2004 GTO is by far the most refined, comfortable and fun to drive vehicle I have ever owned. It easily surpasses the performance of both the '96 Mustang GT and '98 Camaro Z28 I have owned previously. I do not miss the scary feeling of the rear ends of these cars trying to "kick out" every time a slight road imperfection would be encountered when cornering. The GTO's independent rear suspension (which, along with its motor, it shares with the 2004 Corvette) is a huge improvement over the live axle setup of many other muscle cars, including the '05 Mustang. While the new Mustang may have more flavor in the styling department due to its retro look, I have really come to appreciate the GTO.

This vehicle is fun to drive. Although getting into the rear seat with is difficult, once there, the seat in back rivals the bucket seats in the front. This car sounds and responds wonderfully. The dash has a neat feature in the color of the dash in the daylight is different to the color at night (it turns black when the lights are on due to placement). The car seems to be very reliable.

I'm soooo impressed. I've wanted one for a year now. Found a black one with Red Int./6 speed for a STEAL. I have a Vette and am in a Vette club, and this car is equal in performance. The inside sold me as much as the performance. I am in love. I look forward to going to work in the morning now. I'm most suprised about the build quality. Just like an import. Handling is amazing for a non- Vette. Ride is a bit rough, but well worth it. You have to be an acrobat to access the rear seats, but they are roomy and usable once inside!

I like the style better than the '99 Camaro I traded. This car looks great in my garage, and goes like a demon on the street. Traction control is almost idiot-proof on wet roads. I will not drive in snow, so it will stay off PA roads until April. I have put 1100 miles on it in the 3 weeks I had to drive it!

Great car! Fast as ever, which has landed me 2 speeding tickets within 3 months of owning. Gas sucks, more so, premium is the recommended fuel. I do however mix fueling with a lesser grade at times, with no significant problems noted. Compliments are received almost daily; more so from the younger generation. Overall, I LOVE MY GTO!

Bland styling? No way! I get compliments all the time on how this car looks. Even I thought it looked somewhat bland before purchasing. It looks better and better as the weeks go by. But the performance is what I wanted and I got that in spades. What else you can you buy that comfortably seats four, has a fabulous interior, runs like a scalded cat & costs only $27,000? Nothing. The six speed is smooth and with the amazing torque I usually just go 1st/3rd/5th around town. The exhaust note is very cool, exactly right. On the highway it's quiet and tracks very well. I'm not a boy racer anymore at 53 but I love a hot car that's comfortable. GTO is a grand touring car with lots of bite.

If you have anywhere from 12 to 20k to spend on a very fun car to drive on weekends and have a blast. But as a daily driver, it drinks gas and SHOULD burn premium if you want the performance when you need it. 350 LS1 can easily achieve over 400 horses with minor mods. Nice low naturally rumble. You will need all new suspension by 15k miles - maybe earlier. Read up on it. Handles well for a legendary straight liner but it's heavy. Tires at come with are 245s with bland 17" wheels. This car has a dorky design that you get used to. Some people justify it as "stealth" or euro. Live with it. They don't make em anymore although I hear they will be reincarnated as a 2011 Caprice.

2000's Muscle Car

This is the best new muscle car I've ever driven. Interior is very comfort- able. The amenities are outstanding. The only bad thing is the gas mileage. You can't tweek it like the old Muscle cars. Saw the new 2005's and the scoops are great, but are they true ram? Reliability of the GTO is great. Only two prob's to speak of. Seats started to make a ratchet noise after 2 months. (No fix yet per Pontiac), and on steering volume controls go up instead of down once in a while. (Can't determine prob). Car is stylish, mean and growls nicely. A head turner of today. The six stick and engine vet pack is perfect! Gotta get one for my mom. (She's a motor head too!)

Took it on a 2 week trip out west in September, put 5400 miles on it in 14 days, and never got tired of being in the car. 15 hours the first day and 10 plus on other days, from 1000 feet up to 11,000 feet, car did not skip a beat and averaged 26.4 mpg for the trip, all at or above the speed limit, and in some moments very fast. I will never get rid of it!

Great Car to Drive with real muscle

I bought this car in March and have enjoyed every minute of driving it since then. Rebates have dropped the price but I have no regrets. Everyone that sees the car compliments me on it. People have driven up to me to tell me how much they like the car and called out to me, beautiful car, while I was getting gas. The power is great. This takes me back to the feeling of the old muscle cars. Interior is well done. Once you get into the back seats they are as comfortable as the front. GM really did a great job on this car. What a kick it is to drive. I can't wait to go somewhere just so I can drive this car.

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! Wasn't 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 it's own. Love that there aren't 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.

I've owned a lot of new cars and old muscle cars, this GTO drives and rides solid. Lots of fun (and power) too. Will likely get the '05 or '06 at some point.

Still grinning

I drove a friend's Cadillac CTS-V and immediately decided that I had to have something that was close. I couldn't afford the Cadillac but with incentives and deals the GTO gives me 95% of the performance for 50% of the price. The GTO has excellent comfort and interior style to go with the power and performance. The exterior styling is on the generic side but at least it isn't ticket bait. I grin every time I drive it.

This is one of the most mild natured cars we have owned. It is quiet and smooth riding with an almost luxurious interior. Very civil and predictable putting around town and in the parking lots. But when you head up the entrance ramp to the highway and push down on the throttle, the thrust is unbelieveable. No complaints about anything on the car. The stereo is adequate. The mileage has been between 20-21mpg consistently with the automatic. With 350HP that is pretty good, I think. A 117HP car would need to get 60mph to match its MPG/HP efficientcy.

Why Drive Anything Else?

To put it simply, why drive anything else? That's the thought that goes through my mind when I drive. My GTO is fantastic. It is clearly the best car I have ever driven. Its scary fast (top speed and acceleration) and the exhaust noise, to die for. Thanks to our Aussie friends. Good work, great car. Although there is one thing that upsets me about my car; its the braking performance at high speed. It's like the pads are terrified of the wheel hub. Perhaps I need Brembos. And finally, my girlfriend hates the car. This is the final confirmation I needed.
