Cons

clutch could be a little smoother but no big deal

99 Sunfire Gt — well it's no G8 but for an older compact car it performs very well. Acceleration is great, breaking is good, and handling is exellant. build quality is reasonable. exterior styling is good, interior styling is ok. Cost of owner ship is relativly low, when i bought the car it had just under 200,000K on it and only one significant repair wich was probably more of a fluke anyway, gas milage is good. Considering I live in an area with a few of winding country roads the fun factor on this car is high :). I would definatly recomend this car to anyone looking for an affordable entry level sport coupe.

Sunfire Gogo — Like that its sporty with nice body lines. Dont like the fact that it reminds me of a cavalier. Has lots of the cavaliers inside features. Like that its a 5 speed and only 98.321 miles on it. Could use upgraded parts on motor..

Good Pontiac — Pretty good car. Pretty efficient. Always starts. Great in the winter with winter tires on it. For an automatic it is somewhat fun to drive. It is a 2-door so space is limited to 4 adults somewhat comfortably, 5 uncomfortably (short trip only!)

Pretty Good American Car... — So far this is a great car. Picked it up at an auction this past summer at a pretty good price. Good power from the 2.2L engine and good mileage in part from the 4-speed automatic transmission. I like the 2-door styling and I picked up some 16 in. GT wheels which just make it a whole lot better.

Pros

Runs and handles well with good acceleration

Cons

Due to a defect in the stock radio(maybe just the cd player variant) the volume goes crazy and the spare tire storage can't hold a normal tire like in other cars.

Good Car For First Timers (high School Teens) And Has Very Few Problems And Handles Well. — The Sunfire I have is a decent car that runs very well with almost no problems except the radios volume goes all over the place and the spare tire storage area can't hold a normal tire like other cars I know of can even when they come with "donuts". Also the handling is good and when combined with the ets and the manual transaxle shifting helps keep control in winter conditions which is a plus. The car is sporty and is good for high school teens ans a first car but is not limited to just that age group.

1999 Pontiac Sunfire — This car is a nice sleek car. And fun to drive.. other than that i don't really know much more to put. The only think i don't like is the engine is known for having issues. A used engine is hard to find

1999 Sunfire — I got this car because it was a good deal. Although it has to have minor repairs a little more often than I think it's still a good car. It doesn't have automatic locks or power windows but I don't like those anyway..too dangerous. I LOVE the sunroof!!

Sunfire Gt 1999 — Works god for me, cheap on gas and no problems. Good for a couple with one kid.. I used more or less for small trips, back and forth to work. Not great for big shopping trips. Not much else to say.
