Pros: Drives like a dream
Cons: Dual air bags
Summary: My 1996 Pontiac Sunfire is my first car. It’s so hot and sexy and it’s darned near perfect for a 42-year-old woman starting out on her own in this world.
I’ve driven other cars, even owned other cars, but the Sunfire is MY FIRST CAR. Every other ... read more

Pros: Good power
Cons: Utterly unrealible
Summary: I've had my 1996 Pontiac Sunfire since I bought a used one with only 10,000 miles on it.
I've put 80,000 miles on it. It's a quick little devil, capable of tight turns and rapid acceleration. It handles well at any speed.
While it ... read more

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: noises, bad seat design, cheap material
Summary: I have driven it for five years, close to 60,000 miles.
Number one complaint is backache from poor seat design.
There is absolutely no back support. Other annoyances
are just minor. There are lots of rattling from the muffler and

Pros: Beautiful car, Very sporty, Joyful ride
Cons: Little problems
Summary: In September of 2000 I decided to get a Pontiac Sunfire. It took me forever to find the color and the specific one I wanted. Finally after the crazy search all around I found my baby. I was a little upset over the price but I just had to get it. I ... read more

Pros: Low price; simple convertible top operation; good performance; exceptional gas mileage.
Cons: Noisy; notchy shifting; clutch pedal snags on floor mat; crappy sound system.
Summary: The Pontiac Sunfire convertible is a bargain if you want a low budget, low maintenance, great looking convertible that can be driven year round. Standard front wheel drive and anti-lock brakes make this a very easy car to get around with in the winter. ... read more

Pros: Good to look at
Cons: Not enough engine power
Summary: I really like my sunfire, don't get me wrong, but I do know that it has some problems. Maybe I'm being petty, maybe not, but my biggest pet peeve about my sunfire is the light on the trunk. The one that lights up and says, "Pontiac".. I noticed that ... read more

Cons: 4 cylinder engine provides poor pickup with A/C on, defroster
Summary: Let me start off by mentioning this is my very first epinions review! I was happy to see that so many people write helpful reviews on so many things, I had to throw my two cents in to help the epinions community back.

Pros: Power, Power, and more Power
Cons: None
Summary: My parents purchased this vehicle for me because it was affordable and sharp! We got it used, but, it had everything in a car that I wanted. It had an automatic sunroof, power windows and door locks, keyless entry, a standard transmission, AC, AM/FM/CD ... read more

Pros: Great Mileage
Cons: I didn't get cruise control
Summary: I bought my '96 Sunfire new. I thought for an economy car it was stylish and the engine was tried and true. I test drove other cars in the same category; the Chevy Cavalier (no rear leg room), the Saturn (way too much money for that car). When I drove ... read more

Pros: Cost
Cons: loss of oil
Summary: I bought my '96 Sunfire new and have very little to complain about.
My husband and I have taken over six trips up and down the east coast, the last one from Florida to New York only three months ago, as well as multiple trips between New York ... read more

Pros: price, comfortable, good warranty and service
Cons: lots of mechanical problems
Summary: It was January 1997 and my '92 Sunbird had a cracked head which needed replacement to the tune of $2200.00 (had run it out of oil in 95 degree weather on a lonely highway in Maine 2 summers before, surprised it lasted that long afterwards). So I had it ... read more

Pros: Nice interior design
Cons: A LEMON!
Summary: I would NOT recommend this vehicle to anyone who values their time or pocketbook. I bought this car new and have had nothing but problems from day one. GM is a great company if you never have problems with your car, but if you do, don't expect anything ... read more

Pros: wind through your hair, good speed, inexpensive
Cons: poor handling, bad sound system
Summary: Having always wanted a convertible, I finally decided in 1996 that this car provided me an affordable way to get one. 4.5 years latter I still enjoy driving it. I've had only one repair that I've had to make in all of that time and it was under warranty. ... read more
