  Cant Wait To Get Rid Of This Car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Carla - August 9 - 8:26 am

  Ive had major problems with this car: "Theft deterrent system" went down, making the car think I was trying to steal it, and stranded me on a cold December night. Ignition coil and spark plug crapped out, leaving me stranded again, as the car was basically running on just two cylinders. Its going into the shop tonight for replacement of the catalytic converter, which is plugging up. Drivers side keyless entry doesnt work. Well, the electronics work, but the lock wont unengage. I have to open it with the key, and it turns really hard; will probably break off in the lock someday. In short ... I despise this car. Thank heaven its still under warranty.

  The exterior appeals to me in a sportscar kind of way. Plenty of power for a 4 cylinder and great gas mileage.

  My New Sunfire! - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Debbie - January 1 - 11:00 pm

  I had a 1996 Sunfire for almost 10 years. It had 235,xxx miles on it when I traded it and it still got 32-41 mpg and loads of pickup!!! I loved the little car - had very little problem with it, but "her" age made me want to get a new car. So, I now have another blue Sunfire - stick shift like my old one --- and I wouldnt change a thing!!! I love it! Pontiac has done well by this car -- its so cool --- even by a 54 year old standards!!! Thanks!

  Alright - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Alright - October 31 - 12:06 am

  I like the Pontiac Sunfire, but my car has a stalling problem. Since Ive had this car, Ive had to already put in several hundred dollars into it, for Muffler, A-Arm on Front passenger side wheel, and still trying to figure out why it dies on me in the middle of driving. Other than that, I like the car. It gets really great gas mileage! 295 miles to a tank. I averaged about 28 miles a gallon. Its comfortable and has some get up and go. If you punch the gas, make sure your car shifts (I have an automatic) but it still tends to hit 6 RPM and not shift.

  Love this car but frustrated - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By chyil - October 16 - 11:33 pm

  I would buy another Sunfire in a heartbeat. My frustration right now is finding the parts I need to keep my 2005 running so I can keep it a while. I have been looking on line and cannot get a clear name and purchase price for the parts I need. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I want purchase the parts so my fiance can put them on. I need a hanger/bracket for my muffler it is swaying and squeaking. I need a trunk latch and or cable. I have not been able to use it for 2 years either sticks close or pops open while driving. I need a washer fluid reservoir mine has a hole in it. And I do not know what I need for a tachometer sticks when over 100 degrees.

  I love this car! - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Darlene - May 15 - 2:33 am

  I just got out of an Alero (Otherwise known as GM Garbage.) And the sunfire is great.! Looks good, drives fantastic, great mileage and still sporty. so far the only thing that has had to be repaired, is one of the doorpanels were not one securely and that took about 5 miutes to have reattached,.

  Great car for the money - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By hami5150 - March 16 - 6:06 am

  I got this one brand new, and the only major problem I have had was a flat tire. The car runs very smooth, and handles well, although the windshield frame proves to be a slight blind spot at times, and the design of the interior make it difficult to see into lanes to the right/rear. Engine-wise, not a problem yet. Friend of mine has an Elantra, and paid at least 5k more, and I would still rather have the Sunfire. Mine is a manual trans, and even though i only get 140hp, it still kicks a little when i need it

  For overall convenience, economy and satisfaction, there is no better car on the road. Oh, and buy standard shift.

  Fun to build on - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By jas - September 10 - 4:03 am

  I love my sunfire. I have actually built onto it by putting two 12 in. subs in the trunk and a 1000 watt amp. I also put in a new indash that sweetens up the ride along with lowering it 2 inches and putting 17 inch rims on it. I love my car!!!
