Bought this new and have never regretted the purchase. It is not perfect but the cost was affordable, I get terrific gas mileage, my mechanic husband says it's easy to maintain. I have not had any major problems & it runs great. And I just love the way it looks.
Maybe, maybe not...

This car is wonderfully fun. It is uncomfortable for tall passengers. I enjoy the ride...but it becomes very uncomfortable if used for long trips. The stereo quality is poor but can be easily changed after purchase. Small and economical. Have had problems with the brakes. Has visited the shop numerous times including all of the recalls. It is a good car in some ways...a bad car in others.

Since I have purchased this car, I have had a few problems (alternator, brakes, etc), but nothing major. This car gets amazing gas mileage on the hwy (35+ mpg) and is also good in town. I have had fun driving it around town, it handles pretty well, still looks nice. When I purchase a new car next year, I plan on buying another Sunfire because I loved this one so much. At 130,000+ miles, it is still running without a problem!
Just Keeps on runnig

I didn't buy this car as a sports car. I mean I had a Corvette that I traded in on a Iroc-Z Camero that I sold to buy this car. So no its not fun or full of performance but it did exactly what I bought it for. It gets great gas mileage and runs and runs and runs over 280,000 miles. Yes it has had to have some new parts Starter,alternator,coil packs,etc but, all parts were fairly inexpensive and ridiculously easy to replace. As far as I am concerned this has to be one of GM best cars ever produced. With the push for high mileage cars this is one GM should be bringing back.
Great Car

I have to agree with the reviewer above. The car has been great for us. We bought it brand new and it still looks that way. We have only had one mechanical problem and that was to get a new alternator. That's it. We have never had any other problems at all. the car starts up today just as good as the day we bought it. We just passed 100,000 miles and it is still going strong. I must agree that the front cupholder is the biggest disappointment in the whole car. Trunk space is bigger than it looks. The styling of the car still draws attention. We always referred to the styling as a "baby Firebird".
