Overview & Reviews

The Sunfire gets a refresh this year that adds new front and rear fascias, a revised sport suspension and four new wheel styles. The 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder is now the only engine offered, as the GT model has been dropped from the lineup. Base model Sunfires no longer come with standard ABS brakes, but it remains an available option. On the inside, there's a 60/40-split folding rear seat, an upgraded interior seat fabric and new options like side-impact airbags, XM Satellite Radio and the OnStar system.

• Low price, torquey four-cylinder engine, optional satellite radio and OnStar.

• Ancient design inside and out, cheap interior materials, poor build quality, low resale value, poor side-impact and front-offset crash test results.

  JUST OUT OF THE BOX!!! - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Porche - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Just got my new sunfire last week and I love it. Ive been driving vans, and SUVs for the past 7 years and its really nice to have something that handles so well and sporty looking too. Its as close to a firebird as I will probably ever get and I truly hope it turns out to be as good on fuel as I hope. I actually got 30 miles per gallon on my 1st tank of gas.Sure beats the heck out of 15. Hope it gives me good service for a long time.

  I love to drive my sunfire because it is great on gas and for a 4 cylinder engine it has a lot of power. The sporty appearance is great and it has a roomy trunk. The sound system with cd player is awesome. The automatic transmission shifts really smoothly. Best thing about GM cars is the transmission.

  Love my Pontiac Sunfire - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire

  This was my third Pontiac Sunfire. This one had "all" possible options. I love the vehicle; very dependable; great style; love how "peppy" the vehicle is when you step on the gas.

  SUNFIRE worth a look in this class!! - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By gkxp - November 16 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a 2003 Sunfire with the 2.2L Ecotec. The Sunfire is quiet at idle and quick with only a slight rumble from the dual exhaust during acceleration. If you are in the market for a Cavalier or Ion from GM, I would definitely also check out the Sunfire. Also if you are looking at a Civic Coupe, I would STRONGLY recommend a visit to test-drive the faster, more stylish and better equipped Sunfire!

  Well designed sporty looking, fun-to- drive yet roomy car. Well thought out, with convenient features. Exceptional left leg room, and plenty of head room, is skip sun roof. Only negative, seat belt strap location due to door post behind you. Of many past cars, I am enjoying this one best. JHS

  amazing - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Brad - January 29 - 2:20 pm

  It is an amazing vehicle to own, its stylish, decent speed, great fuel economy, good trunk space, good for off-road. I know that because when i owned the car i preferred to go down the dirt roads. the only problem with the car is that the headlights are not very bright
