Overview & Reviews

All models get a tilt steering wheel and an electric trunk release as standard equipment. Three new exterior colors debut, while the three-speed automatic transmission gets dropped from the lineup.

• Lack of refinement, overdone styling, old-tech engineering, sloppy handling, poor crash-test scores, uncomfortable cabin.

  By beknj - October 25 - 2:00 am

  Have had this car for 13 months now- bought it new and have 21,000+ miles on it. enjoy the "sun and sound" package (CD, sunroof) and the stereo sounds great. ABS and air conditioning were standard while traction control was standard with 2.2L 4-speed auto (have it also). For the money, this coupe delivers a handsome and reliable vehicle to those who want functionability without a $20k price tag.

  Great price for a sporty coupe - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By wrmason3 - October 20 - 10:00 am

  Despite the increasing competition, I wanted a gas-sipping coupe with a sporty look that will keep profits in my country of residence (American built and designed). With all the rebates and price cutting going on, I compared specs and decided that I was going with a winner. I havent been disappointed yet. It is a really peppy little car, and feels significantly different with the new Ecotec 140 hp engine than the 98 Cavalier my wife once drove (which was a good car with no problems, part of my reason for going with a J- body again).

  Great Car - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Chris from FL - September 15 - 2:00 am

  This is my second sunfire SE coupe. I purchased this car in April 02 with 2 miles on it --- now it has 32,000 on it. This car is great. it has the sun & sound package and it gets 33 MPG on the highway and 26 MPG in the city. No problems runs great. looks good and less money than a civic ( I compared prior to purchase ). It has good performance for a small engine. just put custom wheels on it. looking forward to many trouble free years.

  kills the "metoo car" - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Desh9583 - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Well the car is a nice car i have to admit it. I shoped around and i looked at the civis and some other cars and this car offers way more. I got power everything including a moonroof, 6 speakers 400 watt cd. The red interior lights are much better then the old green ones on everyother car. You can also hook up this car and it def looks sick.

  A Good Car - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By No worries - June 17 - 12:36 am

  I now have over 107,000 miles on my Sunfire and the car is still in very good condition! I bought the car brand new in 2002. I even had two front-end accidents with the car and never had any major problems with the car before or after the accidents. The only work I have had done is regular scheduled work, like oil changes, etc. Even though they dont make Sunfires anymore, its safe to say they would be a good buy if you can find a used one with low mileage.

  Still great after 8 years - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Vivian - December 4 - 11:50 pm

  Bought it brand new in 2002, little white coupe. Manual 5 speed with a 4 cyl, gets 33 mpg on highway. Just worried about all the bigger cars on the road not seeing me. Great car, no major problems.

  Perfect for Car Lovers - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Murdernickle - October 6 - 2:00 pm

  This car is the best purchase Ive made in a long while. Everything about it screams comfort and fun. It hugs curves like no other and is always up for a little bit of free running. It really shines in the country on twisty roads, but its great for the city too. Awesome fuel economy. I get around for weeks on one tank of gas. I would recommend this car to any parent looking to get their kid a reliable, safe, but fun car in order to get them through college.

  Owned with a smile for 8 out of 9 yrs - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
  By stillaways2go - July 15 - 12:16 pm

  I bought this car used with 9,900 miles on it. It was a Fleet rental before I got it. I liked how this car handled and it did me good until about 85,000 miles when all of the standard things tend to go wrong with lower end cars. I needed to fix the struts and the rotors kept warping no matter how many times they were replaced. But like I said, my car was paid for by the time that started happening. For me it was well worth the investment. I like how the car handled- nice tight steering. It may not have been the moost comfortable ride, but it was a trooper for a good 8 years before it started going downhill. My son totaled my Sunfire 9 months ago and I was sad to see it go after so many year
