2004 Pontiac GTO 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
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.

I bought my GTO a few months ago and I love it. I have been a hardcore Camaro guy for some years now and I am happy with my change. It runs great and the interior layout is perfect for my taste. For the enthusiast who enjoys working on their own car the GTO has plenty of room under the hood to work. Great 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.
My first American car and I love it

I returned from a deployment and I was looking for a car with 3 things speed space and style. SUVs was more what I was looking for concerning the last two and very very few cars where on the list, but once I hopped in the Butte it was curtains for everything else, space was the only knock but I cant think of any car that can get close to SUV in that department. But, as you can read, speed is all over the place.

This modern muscle car did not have to have the GTO name. It is it's own muscle car made with today's features and technology. This is the first car of my era that I can think of that could possibly be an icon in the future. The 2000's has not seen too many strong American cars that have the right to be considered 'Muscle'(without being $50k or higher). I am as excited about this as my Ftaher-in-law was when he was my age buying his GTO brand new. Who would have known then that his car would have been such an icon. This is history in the making. Thank you Pontiac for giving my generation the chance to be part of something great!
Wow...What a car!

SPEEDING TICKET (21 MILES OVER) 81 IN A 60 NOT EVEN 24 HOURS OLD. I DIDNT REALIZE I WAS GOING THAT FAST. I WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MORE OF A GTO LOOK, I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE THE HOOD SCOOPS ON IT LIKE THE NEW GRAND AM. FOR SOME REASON THE WINDOWS FOG UP VERY QUICK WHEN ITS RAINING OUT,AND LIGHTS AT NIGHT ARENT VERY BRIGHT. 1ST GTO IN OKLAHOMA.

I have owned several Corvettes and a Z28 and was looking for something that was a little more livable. When I saw the GTO I thought that was exactly what I was looking for. The car handles great, is very comfortable, does not have the typical tacky Pontiac design "features" and has a wonderful engine. Some argue that the car does not look like the original GTO, but few cars look like the cars from over thirty years ago. I also like the somewhat conservative styling. The more I drive it the more I am impressed with it.
It was perfect

The riding was flauless. I've always grown up in a AMerican made family and the Pontiac GTO has had nothing but improvements from it's older models. It can still live up to its standards.

I put a deposit down on this car 18 months ago without even seeing a picture of the new GTO. We're just thrilled with the actual vehicle. The fit and finish are supurb as is the quality of the interior. It is as exciting to drive as my first GTO was in 1964. The six speed is very smooth. The car is exceptional in all respects and Bob Lutz should be commended.

Anyone who complains about this car must not have drove one. I bought mine and love it. Smooth but responsive ride and loads of power. Not many cars advise you to shift from 1st to 4th if you are not getting on it. Interior is superb. Exterior styling is sleek and looks great. I know it is not the eye grabbe the trans am was, but at every stop light, people stop and looks at what i am driveing. I have no complaints.

Being a former Z28 owner (highly modified), the comparison in quality is unmatched. For a similar level of performance and much better interior design, this car wins hands down. Everytime I fill up with gas people just start looking around and inside the car. All of the comments are very positve. The red leather interior is very eye catching and the detail in the interior is top notch.

This car is everything I expected it to be and then some. Performance, handling, ride, and interior comfort are superior to anything Pontiac has produced previously. It is a joy to drive and does live up to its heritage of being the first true Muscle Car.

I love this car. The power is amazing, I can do 110 mph in 3rd gear. The only problems I have are the super slow moving seats to gain acess to the back and the fact there are no door lock buttons on the inside. Other than that this car is a dream on gas. I get 29 mpg on the highway(I have the 6 speed). Oh and by the way the handling is not as bad as they make it out to be.

The '04 GTO has to be the best car I've ever owned. From its understated exterior, to its Corvette underpinnings, to it excellently appointed interior the GTO is the perfect car. The $33,000 price tag is a real bargain given the performance and total vehicle package. In the interior you will not find another vehicle with better seats. The controls are clearly marked and easy to operate. There is not a lot of "fluff" inside to distract the driver, just a great stereo, good HVAC control, a non-GM cruise control (this is good) and a trip computer with meaningul information.

Awesome car, handling is on par with my 97' 328i it replaced. Horsepower is more than you could ever ask for. Fit and finish are the best I have ever seen from GM, especially in the interior. Speaking of which these are the best most comfortable seats i have sat in.. Add to that the limited production its like driving a Maserati or somethign equally as rare. You rarely ever pass yourself, and when you do its an occasion.

After a 30 year absence, Pontiac's legendary GTO is back. A trim midsize coupe, this car features the LS1 5.7 litre engine, packing 350 horsepower driving the rear wheels (as a proper sports coupe should). The GTO sports one of the most attractive interiors ever in a GM car.

Waiting over 30 years for a "real" GTO, the wait has indeed been worth it. No Pontiac in recent memory gives more bang for the buck. Fun, fast, comfortable; all of the pluses of my old T/A with none of the vices.

Just bought an '04 Goat and I loved it...for 2 days. Back to the dealership and now I am waiting for parts to be imported from Australia to overhaul the manual transmisson. Reverse stopped working. Why are these parts not on hand??? For 2 days, this was my dream car. I can't wait to get it back but I'm afraid I may have a lemon. Pontiacs are not exactly known for having the best transmissions out there.
it goes fast and is sooo comfortable

A quick fix for the Headlights...

A fix for the headlights is to aim them up a bit. Its not that they are not bright enough, all cars are the same, its that they shine too close to the front of the car. Adjust them up just six inches against a wall. To do this: 1. Open the hood and locate the headlight adjustment screw (maybe look in manual or ask a mechanic). 2. At night, adjust this screw so the headlight shines approximently 6" higher. DO NOT adjust it up so high that it shines into the backseat of cars in front of you, thats too high and annoying to others (extremely!). I know this will work. I don't know why GM has taken to adjusting them too low (same on my '97 Z28).

No matter what the magazines say, this car was worth every penny! I've gotten alot of positive comments on it's looks, and the enterior is really nice. And of course the power is the icing on the cake. The things I look for when purchasing a car are: Looks, power, good radio, and quality. This car has them all. With only 18,000 built a year, for 3 years, I'm totally happy that I have mine now.

At first I thought it was a Grand AM on steroids, but after looking over the car from the engine to the detail of the interior, this car is absoulutely beautiful. At the turn of the key, you know you have a great thing. The way the engine growls and the power to force you back into your seat is a very welcomed feeling. Thank you for such a great car. Also, thank you for making them affordable because I now have one and absolutely love it!!!

Took delivery this weekend and haven't slept since. Fantastic car!! This is an affordable,QUALITY, sophistaced hot rod. Forget the understated looks... it's suppose to be that way. Just like the original. I added an aftermarket cold air intake and stage 1 chip to boost the HP to 455. Interior is far superior to any US built GM car, except possibly the Cadillac line. Save enough on the car to afford lots of tires and tickets. Gas isn't an issue with an average MPG of 20. Also very pleased with the interior room, as I am 6'3" and 280lbs.

A thrill to drive, excellent handling, smooth ride, comfortable. Poor fuel efficiency, but what do you expect? Small trunk, but not a high priority for this type of car. Exterior styling is a bit conservative but I'm much more glad it is not overdone.

It's a complete joyride everytime I get behind the wheel. This is the smoothest manual trans - shifting is smoother than on some automatics I've driven! The power is simply amazing. Granted, the fuel economy is not the best. But I have no problem paying an extra visit to Chevron... driving the GTO is an incredible experience. I think I need a cigarette... :)

So I just came home with a Yellow 04 GTO and I am loving everything about this car. It has the power of an american muscle car but not the crappy quality of the majority of american cars today since it's built in Austrailia. It really does have the build quality like a european car but the raw power of an american bad boy car! Yes some may say the styling is bland but I personally get looks and people trying to talk to me about the car all the time. My girlfriend gets annoyed when we pull up to a light and another guy is trying to yell at us through the window to talk about the car. At first I wasn't totally sure about the yellow color choice but its grown on me and I wouldnt change a thing!

The acceleration and smooth shifting 6 speed are incredible and have to be experienced. I find myself turning down the stereo so I can listen to the exhaust note while running through the gears. The leather seats and trim are luxurious and comfortable but thats where the impressive interior stops. The stereo isnt very clear and not very loud (even for factory). Also the Heat/AC knobs have that cheap, fragile feeling. The steering column is plastic and pops out of place when being adjusted (tilt/telescope). Over all it is a great ride and way too fun to drive. I just wish people would go to the dealer and stop chasing me down to look at it!

I was the previous owner of a 1967 Pont.GTO and I loved the car. This car I hope will only inhance the immage of the name Pont. GTO. I just hope its as reliable as it looks. The front looks a little like the Pont. Grand Prix. I presently own one, and its a Great Car and fun to drive.

I LOVE this car. It is all I hoped and more. Personally I like the stealth look, smooth and dechromed. It is nimble and quick, and VERY forgiving. The feel, sound, heart and soul are GTO. Barbados Blue was my choice and the A4 for the rush hour gridlock reality of life in Greater Boston. Advice for new owners? Leave the Traction Control (Training Wheels) on for a while..;>) The seats are the best I have ever sat in for a GM. This car is a Lumberjack with a haircut, shave, and manicure in a Tuxedo someone taught social graces..;>) Get one if you can!

This car is awesome! Bought in Nov 2004, it just gets better all the time. It looks like a grownups car, drives (and sounds) like a teenagers car. Interior is roomy and extremely comfortable -- 2 day road trip with 4 adults was great (mildly annoying getting in and out of back seat). Best road trip car I've ever had -- ride is smooth and all the power you need. Took it through the mountains in Colorado and never felt so safe -- barely touched the brakes going down -- mostly downshifted. Getting on the highway is like taking off in a lear jet. Drive it once and you're hooked!

I've driven nothing but Japanese and German for 15 years.This car changed my view of what American cars can be! Everything says:"Quality":terrific seats,top-notch fit and finish,tasteful styling that lets the performance send the message. Engine response is "right now" and ferocious;handling tight and predictable, yet without screaming: "look at me". The normal American shakes,rattles and rolls, just aren't there; but the "fun factor" is in spades.

My Black with Red interior 2004 GTO is everything I was led to believe it was. It runs great, has plenty of power, and at 4000 miles I'm averaging 24 mpg. I took delivery the middle of January and the only thing it does not do real well is SNOW. It corners well, brakes well and takes off well. If I had the spare cash I'd buy one for each of my boys.

The 2004 GTO is an awesome car! I actually like the understated exterior look. The interior is very well done, with excellent head room, and comfortable front and rear seating. The Blaupunkt stereo is also a nice touch. However, for me, the new GTO is all about performance. I have the six- speed manual, and have found the power and ride of my car to be simply fantastic. Bottom line, you are getting Corvette-like performance for $20,000 less. For me, this car delivers the goods at a fair price.
