  • Its not just a car its a Sunfire - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I just purchased this 2004 Pontiac Sunfire its a bronze color but it looks more like a brown/ silver color. This car can get to high speeds quickly for a affordable car. Hear the engine roar with the Sunfire. So far its been nothing but good to me its always reliable. Everything on the car is impeccable, it works to the "t" and Pontiac didnt miss a beat. The design is alright nice bulky interior, seats are fairly comfortable. This car makes you feel good when you drive it, it rides nice and smooth and everything about the car is awesome. I would say the one downfall is the stereo. Its not the best my speakers sound like crap so Im replacing them and the stereo and putting my 12" in the back.

    This is one hot ride. From day one it has been outstanding performance. Dont buy an automatic transmission get a 5 speed. Why 37 miles to the gallon, it shifts smooth and has cruise control. It comes with everything I need.

  • Cheap but bad quality - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire

    Bought this car in 2003. Already I got water in the trunk, funny noises comming from the engine and the sealing on the doors/windows are not tight anymore. This car is made to last 5 years and then thrown away.

  • Yellow Sunfire - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire

    Needed an economical car for a daily commute of 160 miles. This one has exceeded my expectaions on all fronts. Initial price was great, economy (33- 36 mpg)is great, it is a zippy passer on two lane roads, and the yellow coupe draws more attention than the vet I owned years ago.

  • Sturdy, Cheap, A to B vehicle. - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    Bought new and currently have 161000kms. Car rattles like crazy and is really starting to show its age. in 05 it was the most powerful, affordable eco-car in its class. My base model manual trans black 2dr with decent tires is peppy in a straight line but handles horribly. The seats are unbearingly uncomfortable for long trips. Good things about it is they are super cheap for everything incl. parts and insurance. fuel econ is decent. I avg 600kms a 53L tank mixed driving. I noticed these cars are approx $4000 for one in OK condition. pick one up if your on a budget. itl make a great short commuter and has a reliable drive train. watch for everything else. GMs tend to fall apart at 120kms
