2004 Pontiac Sunfire

I Love this car

By Mario (FL) on Monday, April 22, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 134,000

Pros: "It could be the poor mans American Classic car"

Cons: "OK so it's a two door..."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"It's been great on gas - and as a daily commuter it can't be beat. It's the little engine that could without hesitation. OK so it's not great for four adults - but grandkids in their carseats in the back is fine..."

"Great 1st car. Mine was a used "rental" car that Hertz sold to us. For the use/abuse I imagined it received it was in great shape when I purchased it at 75,000mi. It lasted me 6 years before I sold it. No rust, no major repairs. Only requirements were replace the fluids on time, brakes and tires. I had to replace coolant hoses once right after I bought it though because they "dried out" whatever that means. The interior is nothing to look at, the features were basic and the engine was enough to tote around places."

"I owned a 2004 Sunfire that was already 5 years old with only 87K on it. Honestly, all I had to put into it (besides the normal maintenance) was a new set of brakes. It got me where I needed to go, and it had pretty good power behind it. Sadly, I had to trade it in for a "family" vehicle in September of 2011 with a little over 113k. If I could, I definitely would of kept it. The only low rating I gave was a 6/10 for comfort & convenience. Just because I wish there was more room to get comfortable. Other than that, this car is one of my favorite I had ever own!"

"have owned this car for 7 yrs, and purchased it for economical reasons mainly, was driving 160 miles daily for work and traveled north 240 miles everyother weekend, only thing I had issues with was the oxygen sensor, and replaced the water pump. it is a bit uncomfortable to travel long distance in but would feel very safe taking this car anywhere."

"I have a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire 4dr Sedan I got a few years ago with 130,000 miles and now it has a little more than 188,000. So far the only thing I have ever replaced was the alternator. it gets decent gas mileage, its lower to the ground but is amazing in snowy conditions even if there's a about a foot of snow on the ground it easily plows through. and at the rate this car is going it has lots of years left. btw i drive about 250 miles every week so its very reliable."
