Used 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix for Sale near Phoenix, AZ
The 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix gets a refresh this year, though it still rests on the same platform, and the exterior shape and style follows the old generation closely. Its makeover comes mainly on the inside.
Gone is the SE trim and the old 3.1 V6. The 2004 Grand Prix comes as a GT1 or GT2 sedan, with the 3.8-liter, 200-hp naturally aspirated V6 engine, or the supecharged GTP which has boosted the 3.8 to 260-hp, a 20-hp gain over last year. Despite the updates, the Grand Prix still only comes with a 4-speed auto tran. ABS is standard on the GT2 and GTP models only, but the GT1 comes nicely equipped with fog lights, rear spoiler, remote entry, cruise control, and power windows and mirrors. The muscular standout for the 2004 Grand Prix, however, is the special Comp-G package for the GTP, which adds a stiffer suspension, electronic throttle control, a tighter turn radius, Stabilitrak stability program, sports seating with supportive bolsters, and the new TAPshift, a touch-activated shift control on the steering wheel. This gives you the sense of shifting gears even with the old 4-speed automatic.
Structurally, the 2004 Grand Prix gains some height and width for more spacious seating inside. Functionally, the front passenger seat now folds flat in addition to the rear-folding seats, to carry longer or oversized cargo. The instrument panel has been somewhat simplified, though is still overly busy.
As always, the V6 engine earns a lot of praise from 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix owners. The sports sedan performs well on the highway, with good acceleration and sturdy handling. Shifting is smooth, and the driving enthusiast who must masquerade as a responsible consumer will enjoy the peppy ride. Other driver favorites are the heads-up display, the fold-down front seat, and the large trunk. The Grand Prix still has limited rear headroom because of its wedge design, and the legroom hasn't improved much. Same goes for the quality of materials, which still look disappointingly cheap. Drivers also wish for an updated transmission.
4.5 Overall rating
(94 reviews)Fun car, handles well even though it is heavy. Traction control made it almost impossible to lose control, even on snow and ice. I loved the HUD, wish more cars had them. I liked the styling of the front end, especially without the license plate, but the rear could have been better. 260 horsepower doesn't sound like alot these days, but along with 280 ft/lbs of torque it moved along pretty good. For some reason the idler pulley on the supercharger belt needed to be changed twice, but other than that it was trouble-free.
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.
Performance wise this car is not a superfast sports car, but it is adequate for daily driving for the commute to work and for long trips. The Build Quality is on par with most american cars of its time and actually has a decent look to it. Overall the car is a great looking car, sporty looks combined with luxury set this car in the range of the Germans. TCO of this car is pretty low, no major issues or headaches can be said for mine. The Car can be fun to drive at any time, during the winter with snow on the ground, spring with rain and summer with heat, it performs well in all environments.
I love my 04 Grand Prix. It is an awesome car on fuel...for it's size. Performance wise, it was ok when I got it, but I had a Super Chip put in it and now I've freed up alot of power. It's awesome to drive on the highway, and has alot of 'get up and go'. It's silver, with the windows tinted as dark as I could go legally. Will soon have SLP Powerflow exhaust and 18" Boss 318 Black Chrome rims. Also hopefully put in a Kenwood 8120 deck.
My grand prix has been reliable, it was affordable, and with todays gas prices for a full size car it gets great gas milage. The interior is beautiful, since it is the GT2 it is fully loaded with leather, sun roof and the monsoon sounds system. I couldnt ask for anything more in a car.
