I got good value for my $$
I got my 99 red Sunfire 2 door 2.2 auto for $11000 in 2001. I LOVED my little red coupe. It has really served me well. I've had almost no mechanical problems for the first 4 years I owned it. I just did regular maintenance and oil changes, brakes replaced at about 70,000 km, etc.. My only major problems with it have been in the past year. I blew out my head gasket at 100,000 km. Paid nearly $1000 to get a new head gasket & water pump. I've been told by many mechanics that the Sunfires are notorious for head gasket problems! So watch your anti freeze levels and dont let it over heat as that gasket has very low tolerance. I also got the wiring recall work done at a GM dealership for free
'99 Sunfire se
Nice little car for work/travel. Had to replace tires & Rotors/calipers at 63,000 miles which cost me about $800.
The Best
This car was perfect for my teenage driver, encouraging safe driving, since it has a not-so-extreme power supply. it also handles very well, perfect for the inexperienced driver.
Homer Simpson comes to mind DOH!
Overall not a bad vehicle, 99 with 2.4L twin cam. 138,000mi fun to drive on the highway with moonroof open - the ladies seem to like it to. however its currently being serviced for a new water pump in intake gasket
Fun little chick car
This car gives a lot of bang for your buck.. I purchased my 99 Sunfire GT because I was offered a sponsorship from RKSport. It came stock with a 2.4L interference motor, 5 speed manual transmission. With the 150/150 ratio, this car hauls for a 4 cylinder. It also handles the mods I added really well without any major internal modifications to the engine. Now, my engine pushes out close to 310 HP and it's wonderful. If you're looking for a great little car to mod up.. you gotta get a Sunfire GT.
