Pros

Lots of power and handling is great. Front seats are some of the best I've ever sat in.

Cons

No rear cupholders.

Gtp -got The Power — Overall this is a well balanced car, speed, looks, comfort. Acceleration is very good for a mid sized car, it will get moving in a hurry. There is plenty of trunk space and front leg room for taller drivers. The heated seats really come in handy during the winter time.

Like It — Fast acceleration and tight suspension. it has needed no repairs since i owned it. the syling is nice. The sunroof is nice to have, although i have heard the motor wears out. It gets good gas milage for 260 horse V6. i get about 27 on the highway...low 30's if i take it easy. Its a real fun and fast car to drive, and i can haul the daughter around in it too.

Solid Car, Very Good First Car, I Will Probably Keep It For A Long Time. — This is a very good first car, it was really easy to work on. Parts will probably shoot up becuase Pontiac went under but that's ok. I have tinted headlights, taillights, and windows on it. I have a K&N Cold Air Intake on it, Pulstar pulse plugs, and red neon for the undercarriage. Very good car, daily driver. Nice on gas, nice hp.

Pros

Can be modded easily and is capable of 11 second 1/4 miles.

Cons

Mono-colored dash, could use a curb weight reduction, horrible car to launch consistently.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Comp G — Performance is excellent for a 4 door car. With minor tweaks the car easily makes it into the low 14 second range in the 1/4mile. Build quality and fit and finish is excellent also no gaps or flushness issues.

My Viv. — Her name is Vivian. She has reliably driven me over 127,000 miles, and I haven't had one hitch, and hopefully never will. Yes, she is a North American made Pontiac (made in Canada). My gas mileage is really good. I normally average 25 to 28 mpg, and this is with a big V6 engine. I'll probably have her for awhile yet, because I still have monthly payments. She is roomy enough, versatile, relatively quick, good handling, smooth riding. I bought her used, with 6,000 miles. If I am going to keep her beyond 200,000 miles, I should probably get new tires, new brakes, and a tune-up done. There are a couple of bulbs out on the dashboard & radio, but I am surviving without them.

Sleek Style On The Street — Absolutely love this car. It is very fun to drive and looks good out on the road. This car is quick off the line and handles well while turning, accelerating, etc. However, the car brakes roughly, especially at higher speeds (ie 75+ mph). Besides a few minor faults, this car is a very reliable and enjoyable car to own.

Pros

A very pratical car for those who still like to have a little fun.

Cons

Automatic transmission takes away from a large portion of the torque that the car actually produces, and the tranny is sometimes reluctant to downshift.

Great For Hauling Tons Of Stuff While Still Keeping The Soul Of A Race Inspired Car. — One of the best large sedans I have ever driven. I would compare the handling to a BMW 3 series or maybe even a 5 series; however, the large mass of the car is shown when cornering hard, but it still takes the turns well for being so large. Plenty of low end torque, but lacking in top end horsepower.

Pros

Still looks good after nine years. Very reliable, with very little time in the shop.

Cons

Tight quarters in the front with not much head room. Squatty looking rear end makes the car look unproportioned.

Good, Reliable Transportation — We have owned this car nine years now, but only have 59,000 miles on it. It has been good mechanically with very little time spent in the shop. The paint is still shiny and looks good. The power is decent, though you have to kind of muscle the gas pedal to apply the power. You don't have to worry about finding yourself speeding unintentionally. This is my wife's car, but for me, the interior seems cramped. I'm only 5'7" and have very little head room with the seat in the middle of the vertical adjustment, and the width of the floor space between the console and door panel seems very narrow. The back seat has plenty or room for three kids and decent leg room for average sized adults. The trunk has a lot of space horizontally, but not so much vertically. Overall, I think this is a good, reliable family car, but when it comes to comfort, I prefer my 2006 Hyundai Sonata as it has a lot more head room and leg space in the front.

Still Turning Heads. — This car exceeded my expectations. To put it plainly, this vehicle is a beast! It runs extremely smooth and quiet, but don't mistake smooth and quiet for weakness... it is a very powerful vehicle. No problems passing on the freeways. There have never been smokers in the vehicle so the overall look, smell and feel of the interior has been preserved quiet nicely. Beyond, minor wear and tear, there have been no major malfunctions with this vehicle. Whatever the usage is, this vehicle is equipped to handle accommodate it.

Pros

If you don't care so much about up to date technology, but love what a car has under the hood, then this car rocks.  The GTP is a V6 supercharged beast!  I like to call it the poor man's Vette.  It has a power sunroof, tire pressure sensors, info center, AM/FM/CD.  Oh, and did I mention a growling motor!?  I have only had to replace the alternator once, which was an easy do-it-yourself job, and a thermostat.  Another easy job.  

Cons

Low tech inside.  However, it does have power seats, delay power locks, info center including tire pressure sensors.  It does not have navigation, Bluetooth, XM, or remote start, but not many cars did back then.  Although some Grand Prix of this year had a HUD, this one does not.  The tires are a bit steep in price as this car requires a sporty tire.  Not the best on gas with that darn supercharger, maybe around 18-20 mpg. But hey, this was a 2004 car, when gas was still cheap!

Sporty And Fun — This car can really make your heart throb when you lay down the pedal. You remember the old Pontiac slogan, "We build excitement"? Well, there is plenty of excitement in the GTP series. Great for a new driver who wants to feel like he/she has something sporty.
