I just picked up my 2004 Black with black interior automatic Thursday. Its been on order since Sept. I got it for MSRP -500 bucks as agreed to when I ordered it. I am a big guy (325) and other then a tight fit getting in, it is a perfect fit once inside. My last GTO was a new one in 1965 and I think this one is quicker and more fun to drive but the 65 was more classy and will always be my favorite. I do love this one to though.

I fionally got to sit in one the other day. I'm 6'1", 260ish myself. I was happy to be able to fit comfortably in the drivers seat. But then I tried to get in the back. This is ridiculous! You have to lose your seat adjustment every time someone gets in the back! And, as someone pointed out, what happens if you're in an accident and have no power? How do you get out then? Pontiac needs to fix this one...

If you are talking about the auto door lock in drive, that is a long time feature of GM cars. My fathers 80s Buick Park Avenue had this feature. I also don't feel comfortable with it so I disabled it on mine. That is one of the features of the personalization program in the computer. Most of the features can be modified or disabled in this car.

As far as the back seat is concerned, I consider the back seat a Childs seat or parcel storage as in most 2 door pickups. If you want a four passenger car I would suggest a four door car. JMHO DEC

errrmmm, I hate to tell you all this, but the lock is not power only... you can flip the lock open as easily as you can open the door.

That little feature helps mainly because it prevents people outside the vehicle from opening the door when you're unawares (like at an intersection car-jacking) or when the door should be closed anyhow, like when you go around a corner.

IF you want proof that your car's locks don't need power to open, disconnect your battery and lock the door.

As far as the rear seats go, most people don't carry more than 2 people in a coupe if they're smart, because you do tend to lose the space anyhow. The rear seats are mainly for kids or parcels anyhow like Dave said.

I only wish I could try one of these guys on for size... Since I'm in Canada, my dealer won't be getting any of these in.. which is a real shame :(

The biggest surprise I got when I picked mine up was the size of the trunk. It is tiny! Something like 9 cubic feet. I understand the reason is that GM had to relocate the fuel tank from its location in the Holden Monaro and the only place was the trunk. Actually it is not a problem for me as I have been driving Pickups and Jeep Wranglers for years and have not had a trunk..
