  A sporty runner - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Gavin Lee - March 26 - 6:13 pm

  Its not only a sporty car on the road, but also a sporty driver on a run! This car makes me feel younger. The performance and style make this car way above its economy car class.

  Not so bad, but could be better - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By MaxwellSE - December 21 - 3:33 pm

  Owned the Sunfire for two years, really good gas mileage and engine power for the price. The interior has a nice layout but some components were cheap. I have had a few problems including the brake rotors wearing out every six months and the wiring has a short, which causes the CD player to reset and the enigine has trouble starting sometimes.

  Great Car and Bargain - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By HET - October 23 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this car for my wife and she loves it. Ita a big improvement over the Suburban we traded it for. Now she can pull in and out of parking spaces with ease, whip in and out of traffic, and not worry about using gas to go to the grocery store. We didnt get the power package or On-star; the dealership didnt have any on the lot. But thats OK. Shes the only one driving it and her other car is a Cadillac CTS. Eventually, it will be a great get around car one day for our soon to be teenager.

  Love my sunfire - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By teri - July 5 - 1:33 am

  I have had my Sunfire for 2 years and drive 50 miles ( all highway) to work and 50 miles home 6 days a week, and I love my car. I too dont think these cars got the reviews they deserved. I love the fold down seats in the back... so much more room ! The gas mileage is great ! the only suggestion I would have is the placement of the cup holders but other than thats its a great little car. I have put 40k miles on it in two years and it still runs like a charm !

  Traded in my base model Ford Focus, loved the standard features. Couldnt beat the price. Very pleased with gas mileage and handling.

  Happy so far! - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By swimtime7 - May 16 - 5:03 am

  We just purchased my first car... 2005 Pontiac Sunfire base with air conditioning being the only option, no power windows, no power locks. It was 4000 with 86,100 miles on it. Obviously, since its my first car I love it, but seriously this is a fun car to drive, and the 5 speed stick shift just adds to the fun! This is the best year reliability wise for the Sunfire, and in my opinion I think this was the best design of the Sunfire series. I do wish i at least had a cassette or cd player, but until i come up with the $$ for a new head unit, my Belkin Auto FM Transmitter will do just fine. So far so good!

  Very Good Car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Ozzie - January 18 - 10:33 pm

  I bought a 2005 Sunfire with 28k miles on it and after one year and 16k later my Sunfire is getting better despite considering that I bough it with a salvage title (the car was in an accident). I put $15 on gas and my Sunfuire is taking me to work all week and my job is 18 miles from home.

  05 Pontiac Sunfire - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ladevic - January 18 - 10:00 am

  I bought my sunfire with 5,000 miles on it. It had done well besides some issues.. The first was the dash, had to replace that after two weeks since the gauges all fell.. now my problem is the electrical, things keep shorting out.. other than that the car is great. Drive to NY twice a year 700 miles each way, to Fla each year and to work each day. Knock on wood, it hasnt failed me yet. Great at high speeds, low speeds and gas mileage is the best. Oil changes every 5-7000 miles..
