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.

  Excellent - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By michael barker - November 15 - 10:00 am

  I could not ask for a better car for what i paid. The power of this car is unbeatiable for a 4 banger. I motify cars for a living and my sunfire is totally pimped out now with extras includeing chrome rims, masterflow exhaust, nos, and dozens of other extras. This car is just plainly an excellent car to work with and there is no other way of saying it in words. When i drive down the road even when it was a complete stock car i still turned heads to see peole looking a awwwwwing.

  Best Bang for the Buck - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Slats - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I am now purchasing my 3rd Sunfire GT. This is a testiment to the uncanny reliability I have experienced over the years with these inexpensive cars and large number of features for the buck. Simply put, no car for the dollar offers what Sunfire does. I owned a 97 GT, 01 GT and now just purchased an 05 GT. Besides regular maintenance (Oil, brakes and odd recall for software updates), I have had operational failure in these cars. I owned a 95 Honda Prelude that almost bankrupt me in repair bills, then I took a chance on the Sunfire and still cant find a reason leave. Sorry Corolla, Civic and Focus; Youre too expensive and lack Zest!

  I like it! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Prunedaler - April 21 - 2:00 am

  Just got this car after nine years of minivans. No comparison in interior size, of course, and the minivans had many more conveniences, but I really like driving this car, and I think it looks cool. Mine is orange.

  My first car! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By L33y4 - April 3 - 5:50 am

  I recently bought this car used with only 50,000 km on it. It was extremely cheap, and thats why I got it. Its my first manual transmission, and its so fun to drive! Nothing has gone wrong yet, and hopefully wont for a while! Though the 2 middle air vents dont work. I didnt realize it until after I got the car. Im sure its fixable though. Before this I drove a cheap little Korean car, and compared to that thing, the Sunfire looks and feels like a $40,000 car! I will never drive foreign again! American cars have more fun features to offer with better quality too! Besides the body lasts forever on American.

  This car is incredibly fun to drive. I could be much happier with the fuel mileage however this is a fun little sports car.

  Im having doubts - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ahnalia - September 14 - 8:54 pm

  I have read a lot of good reviews about this car. I found one for sale with very low mileage, only 70k miles. Within 2 days of buying it, the ICP went out, so I had to replace that for $230.00. Not even a week later there was a loud knocking noice when I turned on the defroster, so now that will need replaced too. I know when you buy a used car, you take a risk, but I have -never- had a car start having problems within TWO days of buying it. It seems to drive OK, but I am having a lot of doubts about tyhe electrical system. It does handle good on ice, but doesnt have a lot of "Get up and go" it feels sort of laggy. It is a pretty car though, but still, Im not impressed.

  Fast but unstable - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Adowler01 - May 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car only 2 weeks ago brand new. It was definatly the best bang for the buck. I replaced my 01 Saturn sc2. This car is def. faster (lov the ecitec motor), howevr compared to my sc2 it handles like junk.also the build quality could def. be better. I see places all over the car where the body panals are placed with poor spacing compared to the asian compediters.

  problem with brakes and tires a lot - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By crisco - March 14 - 2:20 am

  It is 2009 now and this car was gotten in 2004. It only has 2900 miles on it and I have had to get the breaks replaced twice now. Both times the life time warranty pads have been replaced and the the rotors as well as some other things. There was a recall after a couple years as the check engine light will come on , but they fixed that. I have had to replace the tire a few times now , the front tires wear on this car very quickly as well as the breaks. Also the windshield wipers fluid doesnt last at all. Other than that I havent had any problems. Although that seems like a lot considering the mileage .It has good handling and looks.

  Pontiac (2001) Sunfire - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By warmblood2002 - October 7 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Pontiac sunfire for almost 3years now. It handles and drives great. I love this car. The fuel economy is worth it. It is n;ot a gas guzzler like some of these other cars you see out there. Plus, it is sporty!
