I've had My PS going on 2 yrs this Sept. and just recently had any type of "Major Repair" (front brakes) otherwise very reliable vehicle and would definitely consider purchasing another within the next year or two.

In 3 weeks driven 1600 miles, fuel savings have made car payment, 30 mpg. Sunfire acceleration and handling are great.

Powerful and Inexpensive

Reasonable handling on sharp curves, easy to steer during steady speeds however more effort is needed for steering during low speeds via coming in and out of a parking space. The ECOTEC is very powerful and is extremely quiet during idle and midrange speeds, however hard acceleration causes the engine to howl but not annoying. The automatic transmission handles well it revs/shifts quickly, the transmission itself is easy to “quick shift” via making a swift “K-turn,” it makes little to no mistakes when “finding” it’s gear when going uphill, however going uphill is a battle within it self. Overall it is worth the price. GM/Pontiac has done a superb job on the “tuner like” engine.

This is one hot ride. From day one it has been outstanding performance. Don't buy an automatic transmission get a 5 speed. Why 37 miles to the gallon, it shifts smooth and has cruise control. It comes with everything I need.
