On fire

We fell in love with three things the new model had. Once is the same dual overhead cam Ecotek engine that gives more than 30mpg every tank, even if you drive as if it is a Cendar Point ride on wheels. The second was the new, 2- years ago, 4-speed automatic. We learned you could pull it behind a motor home, it had enhanced traction control for winter fun, and the overdrive gear ratio of .66 matched the 5-speed manual for that gas mileage edge. The last thing is the new look. GM stopped making the 4-door Sunfire and upgraded the look dramatically. The front has the swooping headlights and the aggressive Trans-am look.

2003 Pontiac Sunfires Rule !

Pontiac Sunfire Review ! We are all familiar with the Pontiac Sunfire, because it's been with us for years, but there is great news for 2003 model year ! It has the new 2.2 Ecotec engine which is a absolute gem of smoothness and great power. Four-speed automatic mates with it fantastically ! Interrior has been changed, and it is not all bad either, that powerful Monsoon stereo-system will part your hair if needed..thank's GM ! Styling could be slighly toned down, but this is a Pontiac after all ! Juhani.

Having doubts

very good looking car. milage, excellent. price, a bit high for the quality of workmanship. Too much plastic. Metal very light and flimbsy...feel like tin. I do not expect to be able to keep this car for more than 3 years, unlike other cars that I've own for over 15 years, I own a 92 Grand Prix SEL...excellent car! I also own a Volkwagon Vanagon '86, still running like sa clock. And like that you may see, I take care of my cars and if they are made to last...they will last with me. I do not feel this will be the case with the Sunfire. Having my doubts, hoping I am wrong. Thank you, Sue

My 2nd sunfire

I actually had a 2000 sunfire before this 2003 one, I really like the changes, the new engine is great, I got every package available. The Onstar is cool, it was pretty fun when I called to register it they told me I was the first person ever to call with a sunfire. I also love the XM radio. Only problems Ive had so far are a rattling in the car that the pontiac place can't figure out what it is. A slight defect on the left turn single lens and its now been 2 months since they ordered a peice to fix it. Also there was a rip in the back seat, I've been waiting 2 months for them to fix also. This is really a dealership issue not a pontiac one though.

This was my third Pontiac Sunfire. This one had "all" possible options. I love the vehicle; very dependable; great style; love how "peppy" the vehicle is when you step on the gas.
