  Decent overall, but has some problems - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Ken Y. - June 25 - 3:26 pm

  My girlfriend purchased her 2001 sunfire in July of 01. This has been a very reliable car, but it has had some recurring problems. Brakes - The front rotors have been replaced 3 times and I have having them replaced again this weekend. Every 15k miles, the brakes begin to pulsate and need service. The rotors can only be turned once, after that they have to be replaced. This is a horrible problem that is present on many GM vehicles, including the sister car the Cavalier. Build Quality - The fit/finish leaves a lot to be desired. Parts look very cheap and after 25 - 30k there are a lot of rattles etc. Overall the car has been very reliable and has never broken down in 95k miles

  Visibility Problem - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By a m e - January 3 - 10:00 am

  Too many Blind spots, not fun driving at night. Front hood is extremely deceivingly large an hard to judge. I will try to get rid of my car, because I have a long commute to work and back.

  By ROY - November 4 - 10:00 am

  It been a good little car but with a lot of problems. After 4 attempts to fix transmission gringing noise problem still persists. A/C lower 2 settings no longer work. Fuel gauge failed and needed replaced. Low on power compared to competitors. Seat are now worn out. This car is only 3 years old with only 42000 miles on it.
