Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
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.

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
Good value, average car.

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 :)
