i love my fire
i have had my car since it was brand new only 5 miles on it when bought it now has a lil over 110,000 and still going strong looks great and still sporty never had a major problem yet they are built to last thanks for such a great car
One of the best cars I've owned
I have been consistently impressed with this Sunfire. It ride very smooth and holds the road confidently. The car isn't the fastest accelerating car, but it cruises exceptionally well on the highway. I have only had one thing go wrong with the car that was not a 'normal wear' issue - the parking brake cable stretched around 40K miles.
Great car, small price
I loved this car and I would still have it if it had not been totalled in a recent accident. It breaks my heart that I have to buy another car now! This car handles really well, is low to the ground, sporty, and gets good gas mileage. It was a highschool graduation gift and lasted me well through college. I believe that it is a good first car for teenagers or 20- somethings. It has a youthful appearance. I would recommend to anyone. Unless you're taller than 6'0"!!
Good start, but ultimately disappointed
I really liked this car at first. I got it my last year of high school and took it to college. It is nice for a younger person. It has great gas mileage. It looks great; sporty, but reasonably priced. After about two years the problems started, though. I had to get the brakes fixed, the check engine light is almost always on (although I've had it taken in to be fixed many times and they can't find a problem or they say they have fixed it), and driving performance has really taken a downturn in the last few months (it is now five years old, so maybe that's not so bad).
1997 Pontiac Sunfire
This car is a good car. It's little but really for its size its roomy inside. It's got good styling. A overall great car.
