Professional Reviews

• “The GTP with the optional all-new Competition Group suspension package (Comp G) is damped with just the right amount of firmness, making for a ride that feels more akin to that found in today's better European 4-doors.” — Road & Track
• “Even with this year's refinements, though, the Pontiac's engine continues to go about its business with more racket than most import V6s -- something to consider if a quiet cabin is important to you.” — Edmunds.com
• “The car has a cockpit-like feel inside, with the center stack aimed at the driver and all the flush-mounted controls well laid out and within easy reach. Even the quality of the materials used inside has been improved over the outgoing model.” — AutoWeek
• “At $26,495 with freight, the GTP is $1,005 cheaper than the Maxima version that most closely matches it in equipment -- the SE automatic.” — Cars.com
• “Redesigned for '04, the Grand Prix benefits from stronger, more refined engines; fine-tuned ride and handling characteristics; and a driver-friendlier cockpit with large gauges and, for the most part, simple controls.” — Edmunds.com
• “If Pontiac's latest and greatest has one fatal flaw, it's the low, hard rear seat, which offers no support for adult thighs and provides poor visibility for kids.” — Car and Driver
• “Quality and content have definitely moved upscale with this new Grand Prix, but the price of entry is unchanged -- $22,395 for a GT.” — Car and Driver
• “The so-called Coke bottle sides are marked (marred I would say) by two parallel character lines through the two doors about a hand's span below the door handles.” — New Car Test Drive
• “As the sub-$30,000 midsize sedan market is perhaps the most competitive in the business, the new Grand Prix adds a unique feature to rise above the crowd: an optional fold-flat front passenger seat.” — Road & Track
