The biggest thing I can say about this car is that it has never left me stranded. It's 15 yrs old now, 164,000 miles, and she still starts every time I turn the key. Even when she has booboos she keeps going to make sure I get where I need to and home. The only time this car didn't roll, she was parked in front of my house (162,000 miles the shift cable bushing melted off the transmission lever, summer in NC). Vent solenoid cracked at 160k miles, came out in 2 pieces but the car kept driving. Keeping in mind these cars aren't made anymore, don't expect top of the line technology. It's functional, but there's no USB ports. Not a bad car. Great for a younger guy's first vehicle if he's looking for something sporty to get his feet wet and play with.

Bought a 2004 Sunfire as I needed a good used car with low mileage which it had 64,800 and now has almost 138,000 miles after 7.5 years. I love driving this sporty-looking small car. Handles nice, driving at highway speeds feels like I am floating on air. Has built-in satellite antenna so I was happy to have satellite radio included. Power sunroof and Windows down during the summer kept the A/C off which works fine. For the price I paid on this car, I am very happy buying and driving a Pontiac which is an American icon and Made in America vehicle. You do not see many of these cars around any longer and I am happy to own mine. Great car!

I loved my car until I got hit on the back right side. Edmunds said that it has poor side crash test mine survived the crash much better then the 08 civic. Was not the fastest car but it was decent just couldn't get me out of the crash. Edmunds also said not that fast but I beat a brand new mazda 6 with a 04 sunfire that had 4 cylinders.

When I bought this car, it only had 27,000 miles on it. I drive around 100 miles a day. It now has 165,000 miles. Runs like a new one. The only things I have had to replace is the cluster panel, the window motor & regulator and the switch module. Just had to do that recently. As for as the engine nothing, just the regular maintenance. My goal is to get 200,000 miles on it and I should be able to without a problem. I can honestly say it has been one of the best cars I have ever owned.

I have owned my 2004 Sunfire since it had 6 miles on it; oil changes have been at 15,000 miles or more intervals (I use Synthetic. Today well driving to work she just hit 125,000 miles and runs like the day I bought it. The engine runs smooth, still gets 26mpg in the city and 31 on the highway. With all that said I have had few major issues. This year I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator, catalytic converter and the fuel tank purge solenoid. Other than that, 2 set of breaks, 2 ignition modules and 1 set of tires. The car is reliable and has never left me stranded, still has the factory exhaust, serpentine belt, spark plugs and transmission fluid. total Maint cost so far ($2200)
