    This is my second Sunfire, the first was a 2.2 engine, while this is a 2.4. I have pinstriped it and added some enhancements to custonize the body. For an old retired guy, the kids give me lots of compliments and the car is great on trips. I am looking foward to the 190hp turbo in 04". West Marcus Montgomery, Al

    I have the navy blue metallic model with the chrome rims. It is so much fun to drive and the stereo is pretty sweet! I love the XM ready radio because it displays the artist and the song title. I also have the sunroof which adds to the fun! The car is great on fuel and its easy to maneuver through traffic. I couldnt have picked a car thats more perfect for me! This car is perfect for a female college student!

    This has been a fine vehicle, doing what I bought it to do. I am also customizing/ pinstriping it, body wise; installed a catback exhaust, KN air intake and getting the GM Supercharger in the next month or so to soup it to 200hp. Had a problem finding a dealer to install it. I enjoy the roof and the stereo/CD is fine. I am tall and leg room is very good. It is a fun car to drive as well as economical.

  • Awesome car! - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I bought this car in 2006 with barely 25,000 miles on it. I never had ANY problems with it, aside from totaling it last week. This car was never to the mechanic and ran very smoothly. The one thing I wouldve changed would have been a roomier back seat. The cup holders were also in an unpleasant spot. Extremely reliable car! Im going to miss mine so much!

  • Reliable, Dependable, Fun - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire

    I have never had a problem with my car. Regular oil changes, change of battery, new front brakes, and this car still runs like a champ. I have no plans to buy a new car, as this one still runs like it did when it was brand new! I am happy with this car, it has never let me down, as others have. I have complete faith in a Pontiac, now more than ever. Keep your foreign cars. This one is built right here, in the USA...

  • Good second car for Van owner - 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I needed something small and sporty to hop around in when not in the mood to do so in my van. I got it, and it was at a great discount that offset any depreciation in value. Nice overall package, without feeling too cheap, or looking too typical.
