Pros: Big torque = right foot fun, seats, cheap for a V8 RWD coupe, color-keyed interiors
Cons: Exhaust noise, no dead pedal, ergonomics, ingress/egress, sunroof not available, spoiler not deletable
Summary: The auto press has been terribly hypocritical about the Pontiac GTO. For years it begged GM to import its Australian subsidiary’s V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive cars. The conversion of the North American product line to front-wheel-drive and ...

Pros: Balanced high performance, athletic styling, exhaust note, relaibility, comfortable ride, interior fit and finish.
Cons: Thirsty with the automatic, doesn't like snow, could stand to lose about 200 pounds.
Summary: *UPDATE* First and foremost, if you want a super-long, super-detailed review of the 2004 Pontiac GTO, you might want to look else ware. I am a recent 27 year old buyer of a “almost new” (4K miles on the odometer) 04 GTO and this may ...

Pros: Acceleration, other motorist constant staring, non-flickering instrument backlight.
Cons: Electrical system, paint, transmission, interior finish, exhaust rattle, flickering instrument backlight.
Summary: Let me start with the good things to say since it won't take long. The power and attention it brings is a single child's dream. It is one of those cars that you always feel like to have to put your foot in it from every dead stop, 1st-2nd-3rd-4th ...

Pros: Awesome Power, Beefy Tranny, Spectacular Seats, Sleek,Plentiful Room(Im 6'9"), Kicking stereo, Great Quality/Productionnumbers/MPG/Brakes/Steering
Cons: Hard/Long shifts, Dealers scalped badly, Enviro Friendly Paint=Chipping Paint, Little Heavy
Summary: The sleek body of the new GTO is impressive. Although smashed on by many a magazine and car show, I beleive its a breath of fresh air for Pontiac that they borrowed from the Aussie comrade Holden sold there as the Monaro. Of which they should have hopped ...

Pros: American V8 Muscle meets BMW handling. Awesome seats, superb interior fit and finish.
Cons: No central door lock switch, A/C controls could have more input.
Summary: It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I find the clean lines perfect, but the treatment of the nose could use a bit of tweaking (Although I think the nostrils on the 2005 are not the answer). That is the most I can find wrong with the ...

Pros: Great horsepower, comfort, and value. Good handling and road manners. Good refinement for GM.
Cons: Interior missing many features expected on a $30k+ car, poor gas mileage, tiny trunk.
Summary: The Pontiac GTO was not my first choice car. I considered the Mercedes CLK, Audi A4 cabrio, Infiniti G35 and other higher end German and Japanese cars. What drew me to the GTO was the 0% GMAC financing and competitive $33,000 sticker price price ...

Pros: Best powertrain in the industry. Excellent performance/economy combination. Attractive LIST price.
Cons: Entry and exit a bit tight. Fair/poor trunk space.
Summary: I looked at this car with an eye to buying it this year. Typically, I do a lot of research before deciding on a vehicle and then expect to live with it for a good long time. So longevity is a consideration, along with performance, handling and lastly, ...

Pros: LS1 Power, Seats, Handling, stealth performer, quality workmanship, fun to drive, decent fuel mileage
Cons: small trunk, notchy feel shifter (6-speed), environmentally friendly paint (chips easy)
Summary: Fun, Reliable, Subtle and Fast! I was in the market for a new car and looked at Mustang GT, Crossfire, Thunderbird and 300. Had the Ford Dealers not thought so highly of their 2005 Mustangs to charge $5,000 over sticker and call it market adjustment
