Just got this car after nine years of minivans. No comparison in interior size, of course, and the minivans had many more conveniences, but I really like driving this car, and I think it looks cool. Mine is orange.
NICE RIDE

I drove from Mexico City to La Paz, Baja California and the car has an excellent behavior, taking in consideration the roads in Mexico, the Pontiac is excellent.

As a taller than average male, I was a little concerned about purchasing this vehicle. But for the many advantages to owning this car, they outweighed this small inconvenience. Style, options, fuel efficiency and affordability were all pluses in my decision to look at this economy vehicle. I've always loved Pontiac, and they have held true to their name, even on this entry level vehicle.
i luv this car

I bought my first car when I was 16 - it was a '96 Sunfire! I totalled it in March of 2003 and bought a brand new one because I love the car so much! It drives like a dream and is just all around an awesome car!

My exp. is great except for one thing. When you brake and hit a bump, the off track light comes on and it seems or is slightly hard to stop.

I recently purchased a Pontiac Sunfire. I love it! I used to own a Chevy Camaro so having this car is a big change. It gets great gas mileage. It's very comfortable and has great interior features. I love they body style of the car, it's very small ,not big and bulky.
I love this car!

I've had the car for 2 years with only 1 minor problem with the AC (the insulation under the dash detached itself and blocked the vent) which, the dealership fixed with no hasel. The car has been very reliable under all conditions and dependable in climate extremes for +115 heat in AZ to -40 in the Rockys. I have put alot of miles on this car (47,000 currently) and have never worried about having a performance related failure. For styling and performance I have yet to find anything else in the same price range that even comes close!

This is a fun, zippy little car. Good on gas and fun to drive. The sound system, for a stock model, is pretty nice. I commute 120 miles a day and I don't seem to mind!

I feel the car is a great buy for driving around town and short trips. The price is fair and the gas milage is excellent. The only bad feature is that the interior could be a little bigger.

Just purchased our sunfire 1 week ago and loved it the first drive!!! Surprisingly smooth and very comfortable ride for such a light- weight car and only 4 cylinders...haven't had to shift gears in years but HOW can I miss w/ that cute little 'arrow' to remind me if i'm not sure when to!!! It is GREAT!!!! (Wonder if Detroit Dragway still has the powder-puff derby' ? ;-)

Outdated or "ancient" as the GM Cavalier/Sunfire models may be they are still reliable. I got the first Sunfire off of the delivery truck back in 1996 here in Orlando and I still own that car. 190,000 miles later I have never had a transmission slip and asides from the traditional A.C. problems. I have never had more than minor service work done on the vehicle. Recently passed on my old sunfire to a friend and bought the 2003 and at 36,000 miles (after only 1 year) the car is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. And I say that in a good way. Outdated? Hah! This car must be like a fine wine then. The older it seems the better it gets.

I bought my car in Feb. of 2004, the only problems I have had are the turn signals stopped working, the right rear speaker rattles, drivers side mirror shakes at high speeds, and the hood also shakes at high speeds. The only major problem that I have had, is the passenger side seat is starting to fray. They have fixed all the little problems except the seat. Its a cheap car and I knew that when I bought it. But I didnt expect the seats to be so cheaply made the material is so thin the cavy has better quality seats. But all in all you get what you pay for.

Only owned this vehicle for a cople of months, but enjoying it tremendously. I have owned almost every model of Pontiac over the years, and this one rate high. For what I paid (under 12K$), this is more car than any other brand out there. Performance and driveability are exceptonal for this class. I don't know how EPA mileage ratings can be so low-I routinely get 7.6L/100 KM in the city and have never used more than 8.8L/100. Highway drops to 6.6L/100KM or better. There is no comparable value on the market.
Excellent

I could not ask for a better car for what i paid. The power of this car is unbeatiable for a 4 banger. I motify cars for a living and my sunfire is totally pimped out now with extras includeing chrome rims, masterflow exhaust, nos, and dozens of other extras. This car is just plainly an excellent car to work with and there is no other way of saying it in words. When i drive down the road even when it was a complete stock car i still turned heads to see peole looking a awwwwwing.
Great car for the price

I'm not sure why Jon Leibowitz and fieroguy had so many problems with the car. I have a 96' sunfire with 200,000 miles and it hasnt had any bad problems yet. For the price, they are durable cars. the 2.2L ecotech is nice too. If you know how to use good driving techniques and maintenance then the car will last a long time.
2004 Sunfire is understated for Value

A very good car for the money. I own a Jag/2003, Honda Civic EX 2002/ Transam 2000/ Suburban 1999 and of course a 2004 Sunfire. I believe Hondas and Toyota are overrated for the cost it takes to own them. Between the honda and sufire/ sunfire for price quality. I has options like traction control/ side air bags that the Honda Civic doesn't even offer. The seats are softer than Mercedes or Jaguar. It is cheap on the interior, but everything you need is there. A $18,000 Sunfire with $4000 rebate and $3500 GM bucks ends up costing $9677 with taxes and tags. Try that with a Honda! Considering it is $6500 cheaper than a Honda or Toyota.

my daughter had a flat 70 miles away from home.the tire was bad.the local dealer would not honor the bumper to bumper warrenty that they say that comes with every car.it only had 5,000 miles on it.they tried to sell her a new tire....for only 250 dollars...so she went to wal mart for a 60 dollar tire....pretty sad that a 20,000 car i paid for,they wouldn,t honor the so called warrenty.....be careful for the fine print....rather had all 4 tires the same than 3 of one and 1 of a different brand but gm didn,t offer me no options.....hint...hint....gm

I am now purchasing my 3rd Sunfire GT. This is a testiment to the uncanny reliability I have experienced over the years with these inexpensive cars and large number of features for the buck. Simply put, no car for the dollar offers what Sunfire does. I owned a 97 GT, 01 GT and now just purchased an 05 GT. Besides regular maintenance (Oil, brakes and odd recall for software updates), I have had operational failure in these cars. I owned a 95 Honda Prelude that almost bankrupt me in repair bills, then I took a chance on the Sunfire and still can't find a reason leave. Sorry Corolla, Civic and Focus; You're too expensive and lack Zest!
Sunfire made in Mexico no kidding,crap c

I have had nothing but problems with my Sunfire. First the radiator, then the transmission, then the starter, electronics in the dash, trunk will no longer open, then the radiator again, then the slave cylinder,and now it starts and idals funny. I'am not impressed at all with this car, it is a total lemon and I'am not the only person that has had problems with their car as well, alot of other people have had problems as well.

Six months ago I purchased my 2004 used Sunfire. It had 26,000 miles on the odometer. No regrets. Great car. Extremely reliable. I would recommend it to everybody. Very cheap to buy if buying used. Bang for the buck when compared with other cars in its class. Extremely economical. The front cateye looks goes great with the car. Ive heard a lot of bad things regarding the pre-2003 models. I guarantee the past 2003 are completely different. I can only conclude that people who experience problems with 2003, 2004, and 2005 models are cars that have been in an accident and that have been not been properly repaired. If you buy it and it hasnt been in an accident you wont go wrong.

I bought this car last Nov. I absolutely love it. I am a die hard foreign car buyer but when I had to replace my car on short notice I decided to by my red sunfire. I am still in love with this car. The car pickups quickly and I have had only one mechanical problem (an O2 sensor which my warranty took care of) with 46,000 and going. The car handles decently and is surprisingly nimble in the Massachusetts snow. My only complaint which I have heard a lot is the cup holders are in front of the heat controls so they are hard to get to if you have a cup in them. All in all I couldn't be happier with my purchase!!

I've had a 2002 Sunfire and now have a 2004. Both have been great with gas mileage. Both had one owner before me. The cigarette lighter/car charger port next to the steering wheel didn't work in the first and doesn't work in the current one. Affects the ability to be handsfree with a Bluetooth device using the other port. Never had any major leaks from either. Current one had an original clamp on I think the pcv hose cut through and slowly leak oil. Was an easy fix. My first one i got with 163k miles and did the shocks, battery, alternator, and brakes. Had it a year and accidentally totalled it. Never had coolant issues, oil issues, power steering issues or anything. When I got hit, I had my window down and took an old truck to the side with both going 45. I still have scarring from the headlight hitting my face but I'm lucky to walk away. The doors outer part mostly took the impact so the door didn't crumble and hurt me further. I always tell people if I was in another vehicle, I might not have walked away that day.
