Cute Car

We bought this for my wife. High mileage, but very nice looking inside and out. We have had only one problem and that is with the driver side window. Has its own mindset on when to go up. In research that seems to be a problem with this vehichle. Hoping it will be a simple fix.

This car

I have a 2002 Pontiac sunfire SE sedan and its almost @ 200 K miles and never had a problem with it. Just my fuel pump went out, but that was easy fix. Just need more after market parts ;)

Excellent Vehicle

This is a replacement for my 1984 Pontiac Fiero which I roled the odometer over twice. When the car caught on fire I needed to replace it. I chose the 2002 Sunfire GT. It has great features such as adjustable seats, floor mats, power windows and locks, radio, and A/C. I thought only luxury cars had stuff like this. Also, this car has very smooth ride. Since I boought it in 2004 I have put 76,000 miles on it and no money into it except gas. I have not even had to change the oil because the light has not gone on yet.

sunfires

ive owned two sunfires, a 1997 four door SE and a 2002 two door GT, i must say there are definite improvements, the power difference is remarkable, compared to my 97 the 02 is so immaculate its not even funny, i would reccomend this car to anyone, great gas millege, a reliable car, and for the price, compared to other american vehicles, they retain there value the best.

Good Value in Small Package

This is a great starter car for teens or someone graduating from college on a budget. It has a sleek exterior, is reliable and gets good gas mileage. Not as much trunk space as I would like, especially since I now have an infant. His stroller will not fit due to the shape of the trunk opening. I would suggest paying the extra money for power locks and windows. It's worth the money. One feature that I like the most is when I'm driving on the highway, the volume of the music automatically goes up. The one thing that I don't like about the vehicle is that the dashboard shakes slightly sometimes and is noisy when going at high speeds.
