Put 700.00 dollars into it over the paqst few months, it needed a new alternator, and gaskets. Since we fixed those glitches, it runs great. It needs new tires, and has a crack in the windshield, the interior is okay besides the ceiling has a few minor tears.
i am happy
i bought it new in 1992. and accept for some brake replacements every couple of years it has been good to me. it is just as fast as other more pricey cars but has alot more room for the kids. the only other problem i had was i had to replace the sol. on the torque convertor at about 80000 miles. that was an pain because every garage i went to thought it was the torque convertor was going out. .
Reliable
I purchased it used (a rental car) at only a year old and have had it 14 years. I maintained it well and have found it to be very reliable. Aside from the usuals things (battery, muffler, belts) the only stuff I have had to replace are the alternator, valve cover gasket and brakes. While the A/C still works, the bearings must going (noise) and HVAC controls are not working properly. The paint is not bad, but a problem for these cars. For a 15 year old car though, the reliability is great. The 4 cylinder engine is anemic, but but suits me fine, and the fuel economy is poor is town (20 mpg), but great on the highway (35 mpg).
Why would they rate it so poorly?...
Since the above consumers say they were satisfied with the car, why would they not provide a better rating of the vehicle? I bought mine in '97 with 152,000 km for CAD$ 5,900. It was an awesome deal. It now has almost 300,000 km and it goes good. There is hardly any spot of rust. I have done the rustproof every year and have kept it outside for the last three years. After I reach the 300,000 km I might get a Sunfire. Although I am European I like the lightness of American domestic vehicles - actually European GM has its equivalents too (Opel etc). You feel 'light' with such cars - as opposed to a MB or a BMW, don't you? ;-)
Basic transport, not bad for the $$$.
If you need a car to get you from point A to point B, this is the car. The handling is acceptible around town, just don't push it. the 3.1L V6 was the best, and only "good" part of the car. Plenty of power for a lil' joint like this. the 2.2L 4 is weak. Just watch out for bad altinators, and Brake pads wear out fast..
