1999 Pontiac Sunfire User Reviews

Great Car, Few Problems — I love the engine, it has some real kick and sounds great! Jynxie really needs a new paint job and I'm not too fond of the fabric interior or the slow windows. Stereo needs an update too, but overall a fantastic car for $2,500! XD

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

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.

99 Sunfire — Performance on this car wasn't quite the performance of a higher end sports car but it was still fun. Build on the Sunfire wasn't bad but i did notice that it had alot of body roll to it when going around corners at a higher speed. the car looks fairly sporty from the outside with its lower profile roof. The interior isn't much different it's very comfortable and stylish of course thats just my opinion.

The Long Distance Car — This is my Mom's car which she lets me use. It's good on long distance trips and mpg.

Run Hard And Fast But Have A Short Life — The Sunfire GT is pretty fast for the class of vehicle. It had the 2.4 DOHC Quad 4 probably the most unreliable engine GM ever built. Good power and torque, but being all aluminum weakens the engine. Mine spun the main crank bearing at 190K and these engines are not cheap. The lower end sunfires are much more reliable.
