This has been a great little car. Handles smooth, no noises w/convertible top, never any mechanical issues, gets great mileage, is dependable & fun to drive.
If you are looking for a fun little convert to drive around in, this is the one.Jul 31, 2012

I like the fact that they still look as good today as the first day they were introduced in 1995.
They have a great variety of aftermarket parts available and there seems to be enough parts to make them better then they were from the factory so there are many different ways to build these cars.
To me the Sunfire Coupe is what the GTO, Chevelle, Mustang, Camaro are for younger generations to buy and customize as they are cheap to buy and again there are lots of parts available so it leaves you to your imagination to do what your tastes desires.
They are stylish enough to want to own one and can look amazing when they are built or customized with keeping shot lines straight and the use of body filler is kept to a minimum or if they are just maintained properly.
What I dislike is that they were built for the cheaper car market so the build quality was not as good as it could have been to save build costs for GM to pass the savings on to the potential new car buyer.
The filler neck for the fuel is behind the right rear wheel and is prone to rot after a short period of time so I recommend using the rubberized rocker guard and spraying them well to prevent rust .
Also I feel that there should have either been a seal or gasket and/or shield stopping water and mud being pushed around the fuel filler cap and into the filler door. This would stop it from running out around the door/opening causing extensive rust over a period of time. Mar 02, 2012

I think this is a good first car for people who dont really want to pay alot of money for one, it gets around with good gas mileage, it definitely isnt a drag car, its pretty fun to drive though. I have had this car for 1 1/2 years and i really do like it. the fastest ive gone in it was 110 mph but it shuts down at 111 it has the gt engine and ive been thinkin about puttin money into the engine cause it does have the room to grow.

I like the car. It runs well and it looks cool. It is a small car but you can fit a lot of stuff in it. The car is very easy to drive and I hope that I can keep it for a long time.Aug 03, 2010

It is purple which makes it totally awesome. Everyone calls it the bat mobile which is pretty sweeto. It takes corners like a pro. But sometimes it makes odd noises and im not sure what will happen next. Ha haJan 30, 2010

The only thing that makes my car constantly in the garage is that I dont have spare parts in my country anymore. But with the propper technical service, this Pontiac would be as fast and powerful than that day i bought it. Its a wonderful and fun ride to have. and very powerful too for the money.Oct 03, 2009

The engine is ok, got a v6 and its standard. Some little things are irritating for example the engine fan doesnt kick in until it is at about 260 F so it runs close to overheating in the summer unless you keep on the AC. Other then that it is an ok car because it is cheap, cheap on gas, and is decently fast, enough for cruising around traffic.Jan 15, 2009

This car is HORRIBLE! Every few months we're having to take it in for some type of work costing us anywhere between $25 to $250 a pop! I know it's 10 years old, but come on! My 1989 Mustang was in MUCH better shape. They just don't make cars like they used to.Dec 03, 2008

I really like my car but i wish it had more power and that the gas mileage would be a bit better. It needs some body damage repaired. People keep rubbing up against it with their cars in the parking lot lol. The interior is roomy but I wish it was set up a little bit better.Sep 13, 2008

It's a cute little car, powder blue, small. It's old, but it runs and I love it. Just got the AC fixed, yah! It has a dent, but it gives the car character XD. It runs okay, I suppose, it takes a while to get it going, and I have to push harder on the brake/accelerator than in my mom's car. But it's my car and I love it. Aug 10, 2008

It's a pretty good car. The engine has nearly 200,000 miles on it and no issues. Doesn't leak, doesn't smoke, doesn't burn oil, doesn't burn antifreeze, nothing.I manage to get an average of 32mpg (hwy and city combined) in the summer and about 30mpg in the winter (which is quite lovely considering fuel prices). A couple problems are that the a/c doesn't work, and the passenger door locking mechanism makes entry difficult. I had to replace the manual transmission in it because some yahoo overtightened a bolt to the transmission, which cracked the case and cause it to leak out all of it's lubricant. Which of course I didn't realize and I drove it around probably the entire time I owned it (prior to break down) without any lubricant in the gearbox.
Just know this. American cars are just as reliable as foreign cars. You just have to make sure they were taken care of properly when you purchase themAug 04, 2008

The car does really well on gas and has a sporty kind of look. Despite this, it could also be used as a family car and i really support this car and will keep it until i get a newer car in about 4 years.Jul 13, 2008

The car has a sleek design and I just love the interior....shes my baby. The headliner could be a better colour, but is tolerable when not mixed with the tan interior. I have the 5 speed version and for a four-banging-fury, shes not bad... ive driven much worse. Theres a lot of space in the engine bay so lots of mods can be done on her and if done right, sunfires can be beautiful cars.Jul 02, 2008

ITs a good car just wish i had a manual transmission i like those better. My car has very good sound. with two 12 inche subs in the back with a 500 watt amp. All sony Xplode. Cars really clean and i enjoy it very much. hey it just gets me from point a to point a to point be. Also its a tan car with carpet interior so its allright. Jun 25, 2008

All top of the line accessories included when I bought it, most of which I use all the time. The fact that it is a convertible is awesome, I get to brag about it to my friends. The body of the car is great, looks like a minor sports car. The circuitry is tarting to get old though and some things have needed replacing. the headlights are a little weak in the dark without the high beams. The original upholstry is still in the car and doesn't look bad at all for its age. The gas mileage is ok; in the city it gets around 17 miles per gallon, maybe more, and I haven't measured the mpg on the highways.Jun 01, 2008

The seats are incredibly uncomfortable
You've got to be sure not to have a Quad-4 as engine because they arent reliable on mileage.May 15, 2008

The sunfire does exactly what it was built to do: get someone from point A to point B. With a little bit of work they become really fun cars but stock they suck.Apr 25, 2008

check engine light
I took my 1998 Pontiac Sunfire in to have a tune-up and to see why the check engine light had just come on over the week-end. Upon review, I was told that there was a problem with the "flow" of fluids between the engine and the radiator. They also told me that there was a major problem with the temperature of the fluid coming from the engine and the fluid going into the radiator. They also informed me that the sensor had gone out and therefore couldn't tell the car how hot or cold it was running. Then the bad news.....not counting the tune-up which was originally why I took the car in, it would cost approximmately $400+. Does this sound correct? The car is 14 years old with 187,000+ miles; I paid a $1000 for the car 4 years ago. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Does any of this sound right?
