  dependable no frills little car - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By JJ - April 18 - 3:56 am

  I bought this car used w/ 41000 mi.about 6 mo. ago and have been pleasantlysuprised with it. While not the most robust on the road, it is efficient w/my 34 mpg (and given my daily commute of 90 miles round trip-its vital!). I havent had any problems with it other than needing brakes and a new battery. Always starts right up and have not had any other problems with it. With the 2.2L engine in mine, its not the most powerful force on the road but it does its job. If youre looking for something to get you back and forth cheaply, this may foot the bill for ya.

  My SuperSunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By jd77 - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I love my Sunfire! This car is small with a BIG attitude. I have the sun and sound package and the only thing I hate is that I am constantly blowing the speakers! I will continue leaving those other 4 cylinders in my rear view!

  Satisfied with Sunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By satisfiedwithsunfire - October 20 - 9:16 pm

  I purchased my Sunfire 09/2000 and it has been a very dependable car. Im extremely pleased with it. I took it on a long trip and couldnt have been happier. The gas mileage is great, the ride is good for that price range. The interior could use a little more quality, but the outside is attractive. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for dependability with a little sporty look. My car is paid for and I have no intentions of getting rid of it. Ill probably keep it till it dies. Its my baby.

  Best. Car. Ever. - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By selinamarie - October 16 - 5:01 pm

  For my first car, I chose this cute little 2001 Pontiac Sunfire. I had no idea what I was getting into- it was a Craigslist find. I started out with 140 k miles, and now it is at 151 k and still running pretty well. Several cars Ive looked at that are newer seem to have issues at this point in the odometer stats. The only major problem Ive ever had were the brakes as well as my gear shifter becoming loose. My CD player sucks, and the window motors are going bad, but this is an easy fix. The previous owners said this little champ got them to Arizona and back from New York!

  Average Car but Cheap - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By rsyang123 - February 22 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car b/c it was extremely cheap w/ all the discounts. Not worth very much for trade-in value. Havent had any major problems yet but numerous minor defects. Doesnt have the solid feel to it. Poor gas milage - only ~23 mpg for even the highway.

  Not bad - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Used Sunfire Owner - January 4 - 2:00 am

  Bought it as a used car. So far, so good. Cons: a slight clunking sound in steering column when making a sharp turn. Blind spot on drivers side. Pros: sporty looking, peppy performance and very good road handling, especially during inclement weather. Adequate fuel efficiency. Fun to drive. Good car for a single or couple.
