Lots of small repairs but worth it. Steering is awesome but braking is ok.
MADE IT TO 285,000 MILES!

I purchased my 2000 Sunfire about 10 years ago. When I bought it it had 65,000 on it, it now has 285,000! For the most part it has been a great car, however I have replaced.....fuel pump, clutch, wheel barrings twice, electrical problems, radiator twice, many break jobs, gasket cap, batteries, etc....but that is to be expected considering how many miles it has. Over all a good car. It currently needs $600 worth of work done on it so I am now looking for a newer car. This time around looking to purchase a Mazda or a Honda.

My sunfire was the first car I ever got and I drove the crap out of it. It ran great and in the seven years I had it I replaced the fuel pump and breaks. The other day I got hit by a gravel truck and even with the low safety rating this car had me and my dog walked away from the accident fine. I'm sad to see my sunfire go and it will be missed
A Great Little Car!

I love this little car! I did get the 2.4 Twin Cam 150 HP engine and the sun- roof and hi-powered stereo. I have had no problems and this is definatly an underrated vehicle in my opinion. It is alot of fun to drive and really runs well.

This car was great to look at when I first started shopping for cars. Over time, it proved to be a much bigger headache than it was ever worth. In 3 years time the car went through 5 factory sterios, 2 strut mounts, 2 wheel bearings, both wiper motors, and the windshield washer resovoir. Pontiac did little to help the issue. Very poor ratings by several other people I know who HAD these cars including a blown engine at 50000km. Proper maint had been performed on all these vehicals, they are just poorly made, and can't hold a resale value. My 23 year old full size 6 cylinder van gets better milage. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!
Bad and expensive

This car has left us stranded on the road twice (60,000 - 70,000). First, instrument cluster failure ($650 repair). Second, ignition switch failure ($216). In between the transmission wouldn't shift from 1st gear. Cost $2450 to fix! It is a POJ!

Bought almost new, In total, i have put 110K on it. I have had almost no issues at all in the 6 years I've had it. I still get 28 mpg avg. It has been a good investment; paid off 2 years ago and kept on going. For a 4 cyl. it goes pretty well, no trouble passing, and travels well at 60+. Had recent starter trouble, replaced it, no problem since. Also gas gauge seems to be off sometimes, but i've never had it looked at. I live in upstate NY, not great in snow, but not horrible, however RUSTED a LOT! I'm not in love with this car, but I wasn't when I bought it. I wanted a little cheap car for lots of driving, got good mileage etc, and it filled my needs and was very reliable and fun.
Pretty Nice

I wouldn't say it's a so bad car ; it's OK for the price, offers acceptable performance (I have the manual transmission) and seems reliable for now (it has about 40000 miles). I didn't really have problems with it except that when I stalled (yes it still happens :P) the engine had problems to restart when hot but a visit to the dealer and everything was fine. The only thing I don't like about it is the gaz mileage... it seems poor for the only 115 hp it has... but at least the gas tank has a good capacity !
Will it start??

I have a 2000 Sunfire SE, and w/in the first year it had to have a new battery, and a new starter. In 2002 it had to have the computer reprogrammed due to engine lights coming on, and it had to have the whole steering assembly replaced, this all happened 2 weeks before the warranty was up. I do not trust this car and will never buy one again.
Solid For the Money

Bought it new. Below average gas milage in the city, even with 5-speed. The severe body roll of the GT, mentioned in the review of SE, is minimal for the SE. I noticed MUCH more body roll in other car makers comparable models eg. Neon, Nissian, Cavalier (it is similar but definately does NOT drive the same,). The Cavalier's steering is not nearly as tight or responsive, and most of the standard features on the Sunfire are NOT standard on the Cavalier. This car had a better turning radius than the others above.
Should have bought a Honda...

This car really isn't worth what little money it is worth anymore. A 2000 model year car that is worth under $6000 is worth under $6000 for a reason. The Sunfire is slow and unreliable umong many other downfalls. Last time I ever buy a domestic...
GT is worth the extra money!

I can't seem to understand why some individuals complain about Pontiac and the Sunfire in general. Sure, if you have the SE model, the performance won't be as high as a GT. Personally, I love the GT model. It rides great, it's pretty smooth, and it has a great get- up-and-go from the minute the light turns green. No problems here!

Bought a red GT in 2004 with 60K Miles on it. Beautiful car, monsoon radio really pumped, I also added and amp with 3 10'' speakers. I am in the army and my hometown is about 320 miles away, so I went home a lot. I used to fly up and down i-95. This car accelerates fast and handles exceptionally well. But after 4 months of use, the engine gave out on me. I replaced the engine and she never drove quite the same. The CD player stopped working after 7 months as well as the LCD display for the Monsoon audio system. You cannot replace the radio head unit because Monsoon wiring techniques. Door handle fell off and I had too super glue it back on. Its a tank tho.
decent transportation and cool looks

I had a Teal 2000 Pontiac Sunfire GT Coupe and absolutily loved it! It was hands down one of the best cars ever made, especailly with the ever-so- sporty GT package! Sadly enough though, I was only able to hold onto the car for 10 days because on the 10th day I had it, I was ran off the road in the country by and old man and I skid accross the road into a ditch and flipped. Rest assure if your car does this, it will be totaled; mine was! But unbelievably, I got out with only a few minor scratches on my arm and a stiff neck, so this is also a VERY safe car. It saved my life!
Great car!

This car has been surprisingly good. I was looking for a sporty yet cheap car to take me to school and back. I absolutely love the power, it has a great get-up and go, it doesnt lag behind like other similar models. The GT style and model is what makes the Sunfire.
Good to go

This car has been primarily used as a road tripper and has treated me very well. Reliability has been excellent, has spent next to no time in the shop. Just a hose had to be replaced, otherwise normal maintenance has kept her running great. Now that I'm commuting to work the fuel efficiency has been good to me.
The Best Used Car Out There...

When we bought our car in the begining of 2001, it only had 30 thousand miles. We have since then put another 30 thousand driving to/from Chicago and Pennsylvania and to/from Dallas and Little Rock. That little car is very dependable and can handle being run into the ground.
Best Car

I purchased this car brand new, it currently has 175,000 miles. I have had one minor problem that cost 200 to fix. My car runs better than when I purchased it and it is capable of getting 35 miles/gallon on the interstate. This has been an excellent car for me, if I didn't need more room I would buy another one in an instant. The LCD display on my monsoon radio also went out on one side but that wasn't that big of a deal considering how many miles it has and how great it's been to have and drive!
Much better than expected!

After 110,000 miles, 2 minor fender benders and loads of road trips I still love my first car. Even the SE engine has some pep with an upper engine mount and a K&N air filter. She is relatively quick off the line and gets me where I'm going with a touch of style. Not the cleanest lines in a car, but not a boring Civic/Camry/Escort/etc. Only issues in 8+ years has been a hose replacement, and the vibrations are more noticeable than I'd like, but not bad overall. I've been very pleased with the reliability, fun and comfort for the price.

I bought my sunfire in 2000 it had 26,000 miles on it. I still have it and it now has 180,000 miles on it. Had to add water pump, breaks, tires, break fluid hoses, gasket,and a few more things but still runs great. I am going to give it to my kid when he gets his license. It is very dependable.
