What’s new
All-new replacement for aged Sunbird comes in SE coupe or sedan, and GT coupe trim levels. An SE convertible debuted midyear. Dual airbags, ABS, tilt steering and tachometer are standard. Base engine is a 2.2-liter four-cylinder good for 120 horsepower. GT models get a 150-horsepower Quad 4 engine, which is optional on SE. Order the four-speed automatic transmission and you'll get traction control.

I see a lot of poor reviews about this car, and I can understand why. Personally, I love this car but have had other similar Pontiacs that were terrible. The only major money spent on this car was $1000 because there was rust in the gas tank. Other than that, I add oil once every 4 months and just let it burn off. I bought it for $1000 and planned on just running it into the dirt … while I saved for a new one but it is still here. Somehow it is still running strong with no major problems :)

I was given this car for my 16th birthday in 2005. Since then, I've had a few problems, all of which seem to have happened to others (head gasket, alternator, fuel pump, heat only working on high, AC compressors broken). Also, the starter is starting to go. But, i like the sporty design and have a lot of fun driving it.

I have spent a fortune in repairs for
this vehicle. I have sworn off
Pontiac for the rest of my life!
Everything from the air conditioning,
transmission and engine has had major
problems. Thank goodness I had an
extended warrenty. I am now trading
it in for a Toyota and I am confident
I will not be taking it in for every
repair under the sun. My engine is
now … losing pressure and will need to
be overhauled....need I say more?!?!

1995 Pontiac Sunfire SE 4dr Sedan
Nothing, and I mean nothing has gone
right with this car. I cannot express
how angry it has made me. I have
replaced, drivers seat twice, head
gasket twice, head, driving lights,
alternator, driverside door, the horn
doesn't work, the rear window defogger
needed fixing. All this and no
accidents to cause any of it.Both front
wheel mounts need to be replaced, the
main … gasket for the oil needs
replacing. There is a short in the
electrical system that causes the abs
warning light to come on if the four
ways are turned on. All in all I want
to repaint this car yellow and put a
stem on the hood so everyone can see
THE LEMON IT IS!!!!!
