96 Sunfire
I bought my sunfire used with 89,000 miles, since it has lasted a year and now has 100,100 miles on it. It's not fast, but it has a great fuel economy, but this car is terrible in winter. The interior also squeeks and rattles a lot, and it never sounds like your door is closed, easily customizable.
gt..hellz yea!
i love this little car, especially becuase no one thinks that its fast. cars expect to leave you in the dust, but the gt always shows up the competition!
Good car, except for power windows
I have had one of these for 13 years, and could drive it for more. Basically a very good car. My main complaint is the power windows, the part for this were a faulty design, I have replaced the regulators on both sides 3-4 times for approximately $300 or more each, i.e. I've spent far more on power windows over the years than anything else. Also the paint oxidized so I had to have a new paint job at 11 years. Yes I also had to replace the water pump and part of the AC, but I lived in CA & TX these are expected to be strained so I write those off as normal wear. Otherwise, good design, quite zippy & fun to drive! For long time I got approx. 30mpg on the highway, which was most of its use!
Great Car
I have had no problems with this car at all. It now have 150,000 miles ans still running strong. I have now upgraded to a 2002 sunfire and they are just great cars
Sunfire
Purchased this Sunfire in Sept. 2004 at 10,700 miles. Have had no problems with this car. It runs like a champ. I have done regular maintenance on he vehicle. New Tires, replaced brakes, flushed cooling system, replaced exhaust system. It has passed stat emissions test.. I intend to keep this car. I like it as much as I did my "79" Pinto and "83" Mustang.
