I am 75 years old and have owned over 50 new cars so I usually dont get too excited when I get a new one. This one did it. The performance is great. The shifter is excelent. Good gas mileage. Good price. A fun to drive green machine.

I would buy another Sunfire in a heartbeat. My frustration right now is finding the parts I need to keep my 2005 running so I can keep it a while. I have been looking on line and cannot get a clear name and purchase price for the parts I need. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I want purchase the parts so my fiance can put them on. I need a hanger/bracket for my muffler it is swaying and squeaking. I need a trunk latch and or cable. I have not been able to use it for 2 years either sticks close or pops open while driving. I need a washer fluid reservoir mine has a hole in it. And I do not know what I need for a tachometer sticks when over 100 degrees.

Traded in my base model Ford Focus, loved the standard features. Couldn't beat the price. Very pleased with gas mileage and handling.

It's been almost a year since I lost my Sunfire, but I loved it! Tires were the only regular problem I had. But after four years, the battery only stalled on me once, and the window motor started shorting. But those were minor problems compared to the fact that I was able to move efficiently. I took many 14 hour road trips in my little sunfire. Comfort was a bit short on those trips, but gas mileage could not match to most other cars. $60 could get me from Tucson to Dallas easy. I loved the sunroof. Rarely used the MP3 player. Loved the sound. Loved the mobility. Loved the style. It was my first car so maybe I'm a bit bias here, but still! Pontiac Sunfire = Amazing First Car!

I purchased this car for my wife and she loves it. It'a a big improvement over the Suburban we traded it for. Now she can pull in and out of parking spaces with ease, whip in and out of traffic, and not worry about using gas to go to the grocery store. We didn't get the power package or On-star; the dealership didn't have any on the lot. But that's OK. She's the only one driving it and her other car is a Cadillac CTS. Eventually, it will be a great get around car one day for our soon to be teenager.
