Used 2004 Pontiac Sunfire 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Satisfied
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!
Reliable as heck
Outdated or "ancient" as the GM Cavalier/Sunfire models may be they are still reliable.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 Outdated?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.
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.
needs improvement
I like the way the car looks and the price is right but i worry about it lasting in the long run. The check engine light has been on about 4 times since i bought it 6 monthes ago.
Review by a 16-year-old
I turned 16 last May and recieved a 2003 White Sunfire and I love it. It's a sporty car that is not expensive. I think that it is a great car for someone my age.
