Overview & Reviews

The Sunfire gets a refresh this year that adds new front and rear fascias, a revised sport suspension and four new wheel styles. The 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder is now the only engine offered, as the GT model has been dropped from the lineup. Base model Sunfires no longer come with standard ABS brakes, but it remains an available option. On the inside, there's a 60/40-split folding rear seat, an upgraded interior seat fabric and new options like side-impact airbags, XM Satellite Radio and the OnStar system.

• 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.

  great economy car - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Heather - January 23 - 7:06 pm

  I`ve had this car for almost 2 years. bought it at 31`000miles and it`s now at almost 80`000. The car still runs like new, no oil leaks, or burning oil. Only thing I`ve had to do is change the brakes and maintenance. Stock sound system is decent. It`s pretty peppy for a 140hp. Handles very well for what it is. Love this car. Haven`t had any issues, would buy another one

  2003 Pontiac Sunfires Rule ! - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire

  Pontiac Sunfire Review ! We are all familiar with the Pontiac Sunfire, because its been with us for years, but there is great news for 2003 model year ! It has the new 2.2 Ecotec engine which is a absolute gem of smoothness and great power. Four-speed automatic mates with it fantastically ! Interrior has been changed, and it is not all bad either, that powerful Monsoon stereo-system will part your hair if needed..thanks GM ! Styling could be slighly toned down, but this is a Pontiac after all ! Juhani.

  My Review - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By bizich2484 - April 6 - 2:00 am

  Ive had a love-hate relationship with this car. Ive only owned it for a year and have had to bring it back to the dealership 6 times to get various parts fixed. I used to drive a Bonneville and I really miss the V6 that I had in that car. I do not plan on owning this car for much longer, I spend a lot of time in my car and I need something bigger and has more features.

  Reliable Car for me - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By luvmycar - August 24 - 8:20 pm

  I bought my Pontiac Sunfire used w/29k miles. It now has 77,000 and I have not had any major issues at all. I still get great gas mileage and over 30 mpg on the highways. Its fun to drive and noise is not a factor. The engine is strong and peppy for a 4 cylinder.

  Okay for economic reasons - 2003 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Heather - August 18 - 11:53 am

  I bought this car in 2003 when I as a single mother who needed a new car. It was not the best decision I have ever made. The car is very uncomfortable and loud on the road. The gas mileage is great but I will not buy another one. There are better economic choices.
