Bought my 95 Sunfire used in 99 It has 135K on it and people still ask me if its a 99. This car has been a very good performer. The handling is smooth althought the steering feels a bit loose in neutral position. Its not a sports car but with the right set of tires it really sticks to the road. Front seat comfort is good and gives a nice driving position. Back seats are a bit hard. Look for rust around the fuel door. I had small rust spots appear however it was only surface rust, primer and touch up will give those a permenant cure. The only parts i replaced are the starter, rack&pignon, front susp top plates and tab bushings and the usual breaks, tires

I bought my 95 Sunfire (used) when it was 2 years old. It has given me a really good run since then but a week ago the engine went out. One thing the mechanic told me is to beware of the smallest coolant leak because if not caught early it can ruin the engine. My car gave me 118,000 miles before it broke down but the mechanic did mention that many of the Sunfire's he had worked on went out at 75,000 miles. A good car, but beware once you get into those higher miles.

I haven't had much to complain about going into my 6th year with the Sunfire. 150,000 miles and still going strong. Why this car gets knocked in anybody's value dept. is a mystery to me. Most cars with 150,000 miles are ready for the junk heap. I wouldn't dare trade this solid car in right now for the price they'd offer. I'm going to drive it 'til it dies, which may be a while.

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 :)
