My father bought our Sunfire in 2005, so I have had this car pretty much my whole life. the seat are very comfortable, I drive three hours home from college and it's great. I think the look of the car is cool and different, which is why I love this car. Parts are fairly cheap, and for somethings, you can just go to the junkyard. Mine has 175,000+ miles on it and runs very well. Only thing is, I do not recommend sitting in the car on idle, it will obviously mess up the radiator. Overall, wonderful car, rides nice, very comfortable and looks cool. :)

Bought this car in 2003. Already I got water in the trunk, funny noises comming from the engine and the sealing on the doors/windows are not tight anymore. This car is made to last 5 years and then thrown away.

Can't Wait To Get Rid Of This Car

I've had major problems with this car: "Theft deterrent system" went down, making the car think I was trying to steal it, and stranded me on a cold December night. Ignition coil and spark plug crapped out, leaving me stranded again, as the car was basically running on just two cylinders. It's going into the shop tonight for replacement of the catalytic converter, which is plugging up. Driver's side keyless entry doesn't work. Well, the electronics work, but the lock won't unengage. I have to open it with the key, and it turns really hard; will probably break off in the lock someday. In short ... I despise this car. Thank heaven it's still under warranty.

Its a nice smooth shifting 5 speed. It does have some get up and go and many after market parts for the tuner world. Biggest complaint is the dark cloud that I get and all my ecotec motor friends get on first startup especially really cold ones
