  I love my Sunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire

  I love it. Ive got the bright yellow and a 5-speed manual transmission and it is great. And the most important thing is, i can smoke cavaliers.

  Double Edged Sword - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By cjgtom - July 4 - 10:00 am

  I loved mine, but when someone totaled it, there was no way Id buy another. I had paid more than the payment each month - sometimes doubled it - to get it paid off quicker, but when I settled with the insurance company, I only got a couple of hundred dollars b/c the car depreciates in value so quickly. It wasnt a scam, it just depriciates that rapidly. If you can imagine putting all that $ into it, and either getting a couple of hundred dollars (and that was only b/c I had paid more each month and owed less than I should have at that point) OR most likely oweing the insurance company, then go ahead. Id think twice, though

  Unexpected Sunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By firewire007 - January 19 - 10:00 am

  Was going for a back and forth to work shuttle. Got a car that was fun to drive, both economic and powerful enough for the highway, reliable, well- built, and it even looks good. Fold down rear seat gives extra utility. Car just makes me feel good.

  I bought mine new and have owned it for about 5 years - great, great car. I would definitely buy this again. Very reliable - never any major problems, fun to drive, large trunk, very roomy and comfortable even on long trips. Sporty look and quick pick-up. Great car to buy!

  Excellent Car! - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By john_y - March 8 - 5:40 pm

  Got this car at 120,000 and now is at 150,000 and running stronger than ever! Beastly in all weather, I can get through a foot of snow without a problem and with good handling too. Decent gas mileage (24-27 mpg). Only ever need to perform minor repairs (exhaust, shocks, oil changes, spark plugs). Ice cold A/C, and engine warms up quickly on those cold days. When I got it the two lowest fan blower settings didnt work, but easily fixed by replacing blower motor resistor. Roomy trunk, I can fit a Tuba in it with a bit of room to spare. Not the fastest car in the world (could only get it up to 105) but it gets you where you need to go. Comfortable seats for road trips.

  Happily Sunfired - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Tommy - February 7 - 12:06 pm

  I was looking for a car to replace my tired 95 Baretta. A no-frills 01 Sunfire, with 66,400 miles, caught my eye. I was very impressed with the power from the 2.2L engine. The 5 speed manual trans shifted smooth... even reverse was noiseless. The body design is subtly sporty. Seating could be more comfortable, but that is a minor concern. After 3 months its the gas mileage that impresses me most. Driving a mix of highway & city, it consistantly gets from 31 to 33 mpg! Overall, this Sunfire is the best used vehicle Ive ever owned.
