The 2005 Pontiac Sunfire is a sporty-looking 2-door budget coupe that packs a zippy little engine, making this a nice alternative for those wanting a sports-like ride but who haven't got the sports car budget. Now ten years old, 2005 will be the last year for Pontiac's entry-level car.
There are no changes to the 2005 Sunfire, only a new Sport Appearance option package. In addition to a stiffer suspension, it adds on larger 16-inch tires, a sporty trim on the inside, chrome-tipped dual exhausts, and optional graphics. The 2005 Sunfire comes in a base and 1SV model, and both come standard with the Ecotec 2.2-liter, 140-hp I4 engine, air conditioning, rear defrost, and a rear spoiler. The coupe fits four, with front bucket seats and a 60/40 split-fold rear seat. The 1SV is the ultra-budget model, coming with a 5-speed manual transmission and a CD player, and without any options. The base can be had with either the manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
1SB and 1SC packages can be added to the base model, to include power windows and leather trim. The 1SC features ABS brakes, traction control, and alloy wheels. OnStar, XM, a sunroof, and front-side airbags are other options. Sitting low to the ground with a low roofline, the 2005 Sunfire offers sporty looks at a low price, which most of the owners appreciate. They say the engine is surprisingly powerful and the car is faster than it looks. Handling is responsive, and gas mileage is decent. The 2005 Sunfire suffers from a cheap-looking interior, with plastic parts that rattle, blind spots, and uncomfortable seats that lack legroom and lumbar support.
I have wires that go from the cluster to the pcm that have power on both ends at times and my interior lights are always dim when the car is off. The car will run kinda rough and then shut off when this happens. what's the short from?
Hello, I am looking to get some advice on which cars we can get parts for that will be compatible for my 2005 sunfire? We are looking to buy some aftermarket parts but unsure which cars we can use for reference (that the parts off that said car will fit the sunfire). Any websites, suggestions, advice is welcome. Thank you.

I bought a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire and the dashboard lit up and you could see the milage and use trip but all the gages don't work! The only way I knew I needed gas was a check gages light came on that mentioned almost out of gas! Now nothing shows up! At the junkyard every car I found the plastic part you look at were thrown in the floor or backseat so whatever the fix is it's behind the face Gage piece! Help I'm tried of being slow or to fast and getting tickets! Help!!!
