Overview & Reviews

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.

• Low price, torquey four-cylinder engine, optional satellite radio and OnStar.

• Ancient design inside and out, cheap interior materials, poor build quality, low resale value, poor side-impact and front-offset crash test results.

  Bang for the buck - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Maximillian - June 5 - 1:46 pm

  Six months ago I purchased my 2004 used Sunfire. It had 26,000 miles on the odometer. No regrets. Great car. Extremely reliable. I would recommend it to everybody. Very cheap to buy if buying used. Bang for the buck when compared with other cars in its class. Extremely economical. The front cateye looks goes great with the car. I’ve heard a lot of bad things regarding the pre-2003 models. I guarantee the past 2003 are completely different. I can only conclude that people who experience problems with 2003, 2004, and 2005 models are cars that have been in an accident and that have been not been properly repaired. If you buy it and it hasn’t been in an accident you wont go wrong.

  This is a fun, zippy little car. Good on gas and fun to drive. The sound system, for a stock model, is pretty nice. I commute 120 miles a day and I dont seem to mind!

  Reliable as heck - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By njrp2000 - January 28 - 10:00 am

  Outdated or "ancient" as the GM Cavalier/Sunfire models may be they are still reliable. I got the first Sunfire off of the delivery truck back in 1996 here in Orlando and I still own that car. 190,000 miles later I have never had a transmission slip and asides from the traditional A.C. problems. I have never had more than minor service work done on the vehicle. Recently passed on my old sunfire to a friend and bought the 2003 and at 36,000 miles (after only 1 year) the car is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. And I say that in a good way. Outdated? Hah! This car must be like a fine wine then. The older it seems the better it gets.

  By pepsigirl - March 14 - 1:46 pm

  I love this car, I have loved it since I test drove it. I have been getting 32-36 MPG, and NEVER have any problems. I work in a position that requires me to take call at all hours of the day and night, I need a 4 wheel drive now since the snowplows go nite- nite at 8 pm. Cd player, clean, no rust, lots of power, even on the steepest hills. Forest green, (this car is sharp to look at and fun to drive).

  sunfire - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By mrsjspicer - January 7 - 2:00 am

  I really like this car.When we bought it they had it specially customed. It has decals all along the sides, a body kit, ground effects, and custom rims. I love the lighting in it, especally the lights under the rear view mirror, I love how it looks sporty but is not considered a sports car under insurance.

  Want it back - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By 67carjunkie - December 13 - 4:40 pm

  I loved my car until I got hit on the back right side. Edmunds said that it has poor side crash test mine survived the crash much better then the 08 civic. Was not the fastest car but it was decent just couldnt get me out of the crash. Edmunds also said not that fast but I beat a brand new mazda 6 with a 04 sunfire that had 4 cylinders.

  Great car for the price - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By sm214 - November 15 - 10:00 am

  Im not sure why Jon Leibowitz and fieroguy had so many problems with the car. I have a 96 sunfire with 200,000 miles and it hasnt had any bad problems yet. For the price, they are durable cars. the 2.2L ecotech is nice too. If you know how to use good driving techniques and maintenance then the car will last a long time.
