  • Great car - 1997 Pontiac Sunfire

    I bought the car with about 215,000 on it and Ive put about 35,000 on it so far and no problems. Had to get new tires, replace front brakes, and replaced spark plug wires. I get about 30 mpg to 36 mpg depending on the weather because I live in Wisconsin. Always starts and goes right away everyday. My power steering pump went out but I dont need it anyways.
