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.

  By rocky - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I like the way the car looks and the price is right but i worry about it lasting in the long run. The check engine light has been on about 4 times since i bought it 6 monthes ago.

  The Sunfire is a great car. The problems I have with it is I feel very cramped up in the car, the seat is uncomfortable to me, and the road noise is terrible. Great gas Mileage though.

  Great Value - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire

  The Sunfire is a great car from my experiences so far. It is very responsive when it needs to be and is a smooth ride. Performs well on highway and in the city. It gets good gas mileage (26mpg city; 32mpg hgwy). The 6 speaker sound system is very impressive. I am very pleased with its performance to date. Highly recommended buy.

  Best car I ever owned - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By JulieBear - August 25 - 7:13 pm

  I bought this car last Nov. I absolutely love it. I am a die hard foreign car buyer but when I had to replace my car on short notice I decided to by my red sunfire. I am still in love with this car. The car pickups quickly and I have had only one mechanical problem (an O2 sensor which my warranty took care of) with 46,000 and going. The car handles decently and is surprisingly nimble in the Massachusetts snow. My only complaint which I have heard a lot is the cup holders are in front of the heat controls so they are hard to get to if you have a cup in them. All in all I couldnt be happier with my purchase!!

  5 years and counting... - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By jk - October 18 - 4:03 pm

  Purchased new in 2004, it now has almost 100,000kms. Anybody expecting luxury and the finest build quality in a Sunfire is barking up the wrong tree. Its an economy car that gets you from A to B. Gas mileage is great in the city/highway, reliability has been good. Biggest issue was having to replace the struts within 1 year of ownership. No problems with transmission or engine. Although the 4 cyl is a peppy engine, its not refined and is harsh above 4,000RPM. Passing power is good with the automatic, hitting it at 70km/h seems to be its sweet spot. Overall a good, practical and fuel efficient car.

  By Lilchavez - March 21 - 10:00 am

  This car handles well and is fun to drive. With the optional packages, MP3 player, Satelite radio, premium sound, it is a pleasure driving in.

  Great Car - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By BG - December 5 - 5:10 am

  I was a little skeptical about this entry level car but so far it has made a believer out of me! It is a real eye catcher and its low ride and sporty looks reminds me of the good old american cars from the 70s. Its starts every time up here in Canada and gets pretty good gas mileage even in real cold weather. Our other car is a 2004 Civic and to date the Sunfire has had less problems than the Honda, go figure!

  Wasnt my first choice - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Rod - October 17 - 5:36 pm

  Needed a car, needed a deal, Gm announced they were giving an $4000. rebate on the car. This car was not on my radar as I looked at Civics, Scions and others.... So far I am very pleased with the engine, it takes the mountains with ease and the mileage is very good. The seats are horrible. fit and finish is fair... Room inside is poor. Handling is very good and is fun to drive. Styling still sets it apart. Resale is horrible... Overall its a terrible buy as a new car but a steal as a used car....

  Great value for the price and size! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Brian Hamlett - March 7 - 2:00 am

  As a taller than average male, I was a little concerned about purchasing this vehicle. But for the many advantages to owning this car, they outweighed this small inconvenience. Style, options, fuel efficiency and affordability were all pluses in my decision to look at this economy vehicle. Ive always loved Pontiac, and they have held true to their name, even on this entry level vehicle.
