I LOVE THIS CAR
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST FUN CARS TO DRIVE AND OWN ...I AM 53 YEARS OLD AND I LOVE THIS SLEEK LOOKS AND FUN RIDE...THE RIDE COULD BE A LITTLE SMOOTHER AND LESS BUMPY BUT PTHER THAN THAT IT IS A GREAT CAR..I HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NONE IN REPAIRS..BRAKES ONCE, TIRES ONCE,ALTENATOR AND BATTERY ONCE...OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES THAT IS ALL SINCE I BOUGHT IT...OHH AND THE PLUGS ONCE I CHANGED AT 60 THOUSAND MILES..IT HAS 80000 MILES NOW..GREAT CAR..
Definitely, a summer vehicle!
I love everything about the car except that the roof leaks when it rains...I took it to a dealer in Garland, Texas and they supposedly replaced the seal while under warranty, but it only worked for a couple of weeks then started to fall off again... may be the opening and closing of the top that causes the inconsist performance and the leaking. However, it is a great car with the top down- lots of fun. However, a little hard to see out the back when the top is up.
beware
I love the stereo system, which sounds like something professional- althought it's not. I have also had very few mechanical problems yet with 104K miles. A few things I do not like is that the 98 model has some messed up cruise control. The chain sticks and it's one of the few recalls that they have not figured out. It gets stuck once you set it at a certain speed and then you cannot set it lower than that speed again.
i wrecked my sunfire!!!!
this was my first car. i am a 20 year old college student and i totaled my car going about 35 mph. i hit a truck that was at a complete stop, but i would like to see these cars made a bit sturdier than they are made. i has been a wonderful car though.
my sunfire was good to me
Let me say I no longer has this car. But i miss it everday. This was my first real car purchase. The only real problems I had was that the plug wires went bad around 45,000. I was upset. My partner hydroplanned it badly once. But that was due to cheap tires. Then when i wrecked it, i reared some at from a stop to a tap the gas. The whole front of the car buckled. that is only reason i got rid of it.
