  Not so bad, but could be better - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By MaxwellSE - December 21 - 3:33 pm

  Owned the Sunfire for two years, really good gas mileage and engine power for the price. The interior has a nice layout but some components were cheap. I have had a few problems including the brake rotors wearing out every six months and the wiring has a short, which causes the CD player to reset and the enigine has trouble starting sometimes.

  Good Basic Economy Car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ClaireW - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Decent economy car. Doesnt have all the bells and whistles but dependable transportation. Sound system package well worth the price. Not as smooth and quiet as more expensive models but good basic transportation. Good in snow and on wet roads.

  Im through with this car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By AG - August 23 - 1:43 pm

  I had an 04 but totaled it - bought an 05 and have had slew of problems. Bad brake rotors to the point of where they snapped while I was driving leaving me stranded. The engine stalls, the cd/mp3 player frequently shorts resetting my clock, the model itself affects my tires in which Ive replaced 6 in the past 21/2 years that I purchased this car. The window motor shorts leaving one of my Windows down in Atlanta during winter. Power steering flawed, trunk shorted out and wouldnt close for about three months. My gauges cross over each other in some malfunction preventing me from checking my speed/rpms. Fuel gauge backlight does not fully turn on. Everything on this car sucks!

  Pontiac Sunfire - 4 Door automatic - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Jeannie - March 24 - 7:06 am

  I really love driving my new car, I find it comfortable for drives that are not too long. The seating in long drives is not as comfortable, as the drivers seat doesnt adjust well for a short driver. My biggest problem with the car is a stalling issue, which has not been resolved in three trips back to the dealer. As it is intermittent, it never does it when the mechanics have it: however it is a constant problem for me. If this could be resolved, I would be happy with the car...however at this point I am considering trading it in on a make that has a more reliable rating, i.e. Toyota or Honda.

  Cheap but bad quality - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Allan - March 5 - 4:53 pm

  Bought this car in 2003. Already I got water in the trunk, funny noises comming from the engine and the sealing on the doors/windows are not tight anymore. This car is made to last 5 years and then thrown away.
