No more Sunfires!
About 9 or 10 months after i bought it, I had trouble starting it on the first try. The dealer had trouble diagnosing the problem and when they thought they did, the car again would not start on the first try. It occasionally does this still and I refuse to take it back to the dealer b/c I am sick of different people telling me what is wrong. Around the 2nd or 3rd time I took it there, there was a posting on the Internet in regards to the starting problem and what to do about it; it did not work. Now, my problem is when I start my car (when it does start!), the clock goes to 12:00 - I've resorted to just leaving it at that time.
sunfireSE'01
Have had this car for 13 months now- bought it new and have 21,000+ miles on it. enjoy the "sun and sound" package (CD, sunroof) and the stereo sounds great. ABS and air conditioning were standard while traction control was standard with 2.2L 4-speed auto (have it also). For the money, this coupe delivers a handsome and reliable vehicle to those who want functionability without a $20k price tag.
Not impressed with my 2002 Sunfire
I purchased my 2002 Sunfire, and within a month went through two radiators, a starter, trunk latch would not hold properly in the back trunk, and then a few months went by and my transmission went, and main computer chip, and gas pump. needless to say I will never buy another car made in Mexico, under the Pontiac name or any other kind of name ever again. I know of a lot of other people whom love their Sunfires, and when I look inside the door, they are made in the USA. So needless to say look around, and look inside the door to see where it is made before you buy yourself a Mexican lemon! P.S; they forgot to put in the air conditioner as well!
Can't Beat the Price - GREAT Value
MSRP was $17,451, 2.4L engine, Automatic, Power Package, 15" Rally tires, Anti Theft with Keyless entry., Bought for $12.500 =$15,500-$3,000 rebate. Paid $11.400 + $2,335 GM Mastercard Credits Out the Door!!!!! 2.4L Automatic getting 24 MPG combined. Seats are hard. Car is nimble and quick. Best value out there.
Great car for your money
This car is great. Just recently purchased and I've already gone 350 miles on one tank before filling up with 1 gallon left to spare(combined highway and city while driving hard). Very comfy on the highway and the shocks absorb road default pretty well. I just wish that thump sound would go away!
