Used 2005 Pontiac Sunfire 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Happy so far!
We just purchased my first car... 2005 Pontiac Sunfire base with air conditioning being the only option, no power windows, no power locks. It was 4000 with 86,100 miles on it. Obviously, since it's my first car I love it, but seriously this is a fun car to drive, and the 5 speed stick shift just adds to the fun! This is the best year reliability wise for the Sunfire, and in my opinion I think this was the best design of the Sunfire series. I do wish i at least had a cassette or cd player, but until i come up with the $$ for a new head unit, my Belkin Auto FM Transmitter will do just fine. So far so good!
Two for two
After 4 problem-free years of driving a 1998 Sunfire ( bought used ), I purchased a 2005 4-door sedan in early 2005. Again, I've enjoyed problem-free driving for the past two years. I noted several subtle improvements over my '98 model. Like many domestic products, I believe that the Sunfire has received an unfair rating from the so-called experts, who seem to be fixated on the supposed superiority of certain pet imports. The consistently very high ratings of Sunfire owners speak for themselves!

Great Car and Bargain
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.
Good car for a first time buyer
I've had my sunfire for about six months now and have enjoyed it. I used to have an Alero and I like this much better. The burnt orange color gets comments all the time and tinting the windows adds to a sweet look. The fuel economy is amazing; I've gone about two weeks without fueling up! And that's with a car starter that I let run for a few minutes before I leave!
Great All Around Vehicle
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.
