Used 1995 Pontiac Sunfire Sedan Consumer Reviews
Affordable, good all around car
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
BAD reliabily
so i got this car from my cousins that tought i needed a car so i worked fine for about 8 mths until i was driving downtown at 60 kmh and the brakes failed. so it was fixed for a ridiculous price of 600 dollars. 3 mths later it stalled at a drivethru . the people had to push . it needed a alternator and a battery. 650 dollars. then we took it on a trip 2 hrs highway driving at abount 125-150 kmh. it went there good then on a country road to the highway it stalled when we picked flowers from the road 6 starts to get it going. it drove back ok until a rest stop 4 starts to get it going when i dropped off my best friend after 2 hrs of highway driving at 140150 it died R.I.P so i got a new car
Reliable and affordable
I bought my Sunfire a little over 5 months ago when my vehicle got stolen. it was all I could afford and because of my credit, I couldn't get financed. I was skeptical but now I am very pleased. I thought that by now I would have had problems with it, but I haven't had one. I found the car fun to drive and excellent on gas mileage. At the time I purchased the car, I thought of it as only being temporary until I could purchase a brand new car again. But now I think I'll keep it until I drive it into the ground.
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.
Big Fan
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 :)
