1996 Pontiac Sunfire 2 Dr GT CoupeReview
Ok Starter Car Not A Reliable One When It Comes With A 2.4 — these cars came with 2 motors the 2.2L and the 2.4L both are 4 bangers. mine had the dreadfull 2.4L when equipped with a 5spd standard transmission it can be a quick little car. mine had a fully rebuilt head, cold air intake, short throw shifter, header, full aftermarket exhaust, lowered suspension with wide 18" tires. a great peppy good on gas car that runs like a top with enough power for the average teenager. although these 2.4L motors will leave you stranded with no warnings as it has done to me twice. these motors are famous for spinning bearings and throwing rods. do not expect to get much more then 200,000kms out of these motors. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY A 2.2L. if you see a good deal on a 2.4L walk away you will thank me later Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: great little car when it runs, great fuel economy about 7-800kms to a tank. excellent grocery get'er not much more then that Cons: 2.4L engine is the worst motor chevy ever made. with its zero tolerance heads and slacking/breaking timming chains, weak tensioners and soft bottom ends that loves to spin bearings and throw rods through the block. i have replaced 2 motors in this car and there will not be a third.

Good Teenager Car. Very Dependable. — Ecellent car. Got me to and from a lot of places. I bought it used with 136,000 miles on it and owned it for almost 3 years. I replaced the waterpump and the starter in that period. I probably wouldn't have traded it in, however, the alternator went out and the new one didn't get installed correctly, thus causing problems in the electrical. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Dependable, fuel efficient. Cheap maintenance. Cons: Not so roomy. |

1996 Pontiac Sunfire — Performance - accelerates well, breaks well, sharp steering Build Quality - Has needed lots of repairs, makes lots of squeaks but it's not the belts. Appearance - Has had a new paintjob, interior is clean, exterior has a few scratches and paint chips on spoiler, but no rust. Cost of ownership - 23 mpg on average. Maintenance cost is low. Fun Factor - fun to drive with the windows down! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Shiny red paint Cons: Manual roll-down windows, electrical wiring isn't superior, as a leak from the top of the driver's side door. |

Sunfire: Down In Flames — My first car, well it just looked like crap. The 2.2 liter 4 cyl. was a dog with a manual, and with only 62,000 miles on it everything went wrong with it. A point A to point B car. Very Simple, they were made to be an affordable cheaply made car. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Comfortable, Can Take a Beating... Cons: Slow, Faulty workmanship Engine-wise |

Pretty Good — Its a nice car goes fast... handles really good and fits my friends. Could use some more power under the hood cause it gets a little slow to respond when you go to pass. Super easy to park as it has large windows.. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: space Cons: lack of pick up and go |

Reliable Daily Driver. — Acceleration: Pretty good...I beat people from the stoplights all the time. Great for passing too. Build Quality: Car is in its old age, so various small repairs are needed. Appearance: Nice Firebird styling (front end). Cost of Ownership: Car is 13/14 years old, so... Fun Factor: It's a 4 cylinder, so it can only go so far. Good enough though. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Compact, fuel efficient, reliable. Cons: None! |
