This Year's Model Updates:

The Sunfire remains largely unchanged for 2004. Dual exhaust outlets are no longer available as a package option, but a CD/MP3 player with RDS and equalizer now comes with the Sun and Sound package.

Pros:
  • Low price, torquey four-cylinder engine, optional satellite radio and OnStar.
Cons:
  • Ancient design inside and out, cheap interior materials, poor build quality, low resale value, poor side-impact and front-offset crash test results.

  • Sun and Fun Package - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I bought my car in Feb. of 2004, the only problems I have had are the turn signals stopped working, the right rear speaker rattles, drivers side mirror shakes at high speeds, and the hood also shakes at high speeds. The only major problem that I have had, is the passenger side seat is starting to fray. They have fixed all the little problems except the seat. It’s a cheap car and I knew that when I bought it. But I didn’t expect the seats to be so cheaply made the material is so thin the cavy has better quality seats. But all in all you get what you pay for.

  • Sunfire great but flaws - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    This is my first car. Runs great cant complain. I had an accident with it. Another person hit me. On the left hand panel. It was like a tank. Nothing broken but the exterior. Lately I was going down the highway and the speedometer went crazy. It looked like I was traveling at 110 mph. I hit the brakes and pulled onto the shoulder. I found out it wasnt the speed sensor but more like the panel cluster which is a huge problem in these cars. It has been causing lots of problems and is now a money pit. With no problems it is very fast and reliable but when it goes get rid of it immediatly.

    I have had nothing but problems with my Sunfire. First the radiator, then the transmission, then the starter, electronics in the dash, trunk will no longer open, then the radiator again, then the slave cylinder,and now it starts and idals funny. Iam not impressed at all with this car, it is a total lemon and Iam not the only person that has had problems with their car as well, alot of other people have had problems as well.

    I love the way the car drives. The seats are comfortable, but are very ugly. It is a great car to have right now being a college student. I love the outside also.

    I have a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire and the resale stinks! Its only 4 years old, has only 47,000 miles, is in excellent shape, and only Im being offered $3800 from dealers. Please be very careful when buying this car. Its an awesome car, but as soon as you drive it off the lot, the value is gone. FYI.
