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

"Great for a petite female. And great for hauling stuff,the back seat lays flat. i own rental homes and it fits a 4 x 8 piece of plywood or drywall. i have male family members who feel cranped in this little car. And the back seat is only good for kids. The only repair I've to make is the electronic speeodometer and gas guages went out ... a $600.00 repair"

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."

By Lyn (KS) on Tuesday, December 18, 2012

"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!"
