I loved mine, but when someone totaled it, there was no way I'd buy another. I had paid more than the payment each month - sometimes doubled it - to get it paid off quicker, but when I settled with the insurance company, I only got a couple of hundred dollars b/c the car depreciates in value so quickly. It wasn't a scam, it just depriciates that rapidly. If you can imagine putting all that $ into it, and either getting a couple of hundred dollars (and that was only b/c I had paid more each month and owed less than I should have at that point) OR most likely oweing the insurance company, then go ahead. I'd think twice, though

The sunfire does great on the road.Its fuel is good on highways, but city needs a bit improving.Its fun to drive and very roomy.The sound system is okie, the front small speakers make it a bit worse then a Dodge Neon but still good.

I bought this car used w/ 41000 mi.about 6 mo. ago and have been pleasantlysuprised with it. While not the most robust on the road, it is efficient w/my 34 mpg (and given my daily commute of 90 miles round trip-its vital!). I haven't had any problems with it other than needing brakes and a new battery. Always starts right up and have not had any other problems with it. With the 2.2L engine in mine, its not the most powerful force on the road but it does its job. If you're looking for something to get you back and forth cheaply, this may foot the bill for ya.

My car has been great so far. No major problems and the regular maintenance has been inexpensive.

I love my Sunfire! This car is small with a BIG attitude. I have the sun and sound package and the only thing I hate is that I am constantly blowing the speakers! I will continue leaving those other 4 cylinders in my rear view!
