Sunfires are Bad Cars

We have had nothing but trouble with this car since we bought it. The latest is that the motor mount broke in half which messed up the axles. The car is an accident waiting to happen. I am just lucky my daughter didnt get hurt. The hood is still loose on one side but the dealers will not replace it. We have been in three times. When the trunk started leaking (two days after we got the car)they found a wire coat hanger inside the wall but could not explain it. The car is a pile of junk. It is defective but Pontiac will not do anything about it. I guess they are waiting for someone to die first.

first, the engine, it makes a lot of noise and not much power, if there are more then two people in the car, you have to shift down allot. The fuel milage is terrible, about 450 to 500KM to a tank. The suspension is terrible, the car leans on all corners, and this combination of power and suspension gives you an uneasy feeling driving over 70KM and passing at any speed. Build quality is terrible. The brakes give an uneasy feeling, if they lock the car pulls to the left. Inside the car, there is a lot of noise, the sand and gravel on the road in winter sounds like you are driving on a gravel road and can get annoying. This is not a winter car

I love the way this little car looks and drives. It's way more fun than any of the other cars I drove and for some reason it feels more powerful than the others. It's dirt cheap and perfect for every day driving.

I have a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire and the resale stinks! It's only 4 years old, has only 47,000 miles, is in excellent shape, and only I'm being offered $3800 from dealers. Please be very careful when buying this car. It's an awesome car, but as soon as you drive it off the lot, the value is gone. FYI.

I bought this car new and have already had problems with the engine. They had to replace the engine at 10,000, a factory defect. I have not been happy with this vehicle from the start and wanted to return it, but they would not. Once a lemon always a lemon, now I have 54,000 km on it and one of the bearing is totally disintegrated. Now Gm is wondering why, purpose because it was a lemon from the beginning. I am not carless, they do not give courtesy cars to powertrain warranty customers and they seem to be taking there sweet time. I put in several complaints about this car in the past and got no where. I'm sure they just thought I was a complainer. HATE this car,never will buy again
