I bought this car in 2006 with barely 25,000 miles on it. I never had ANY problems with it, aside from totaling it last week. This car was never to the mechanic and ran very smoothly. The one thing I would've changed would have been a roomier back seat. The cup holders were also in an unpleasant spot. Extremely reliable car! I'm going to miss mine so much!

Not great, but definitely good.

Bought this car used with around 30k miles on it. I added 17" wheels and high performance tires which greatly helped handling. Overall this has been a good car with only two major problems thus far: At 62k miles I had to replace the fuel pump and computer. Was told that the bad computer attributed to the fuel pump problem. Total cost to repair was $480 (Would have been more but thankfully I have connections). I average around 28 mpg which isn't bad for an automatic. This car seems to still have that "hip appeal" because all of my son's teenage friends like it and my son wants this to be his first car. He'll probably get his wish in a couple years!!

I bought this car in Ultra Silver Metallic in Oct. 2001 - right when the new 2002 models came out. I just traded it in a few weeks ago to buy a SUV. I had no choice since I’m in my 50’s now and have bad hip and knee problems (needed a vehicle with height - could barely get in and out of the Sunfire on a daily basis anymore). I really miss it. Sun and sound package was great - sunroof and better quality AM/FM with CD player. That car had fantastic pick-up. It just loved going fast on the highway and I loved the sound of the engine. It will always be my favorite car!!

This is my second sunfire SE coupe. I purchased this car in April '02 with 2 miles on it --- now it has 32,000 on it. This car is great. it has the sun & sound package and it gets 33 MPG on the highway and 26 MPG in the city. No problems runs great. looks good and less money than a civic ( I compared prior to purchase ). It has good performance for a small engine. just put custom wheels on it. looking forward to many trouble free years.
