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.

  Sunfire in Michigan - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By jep42 - February 2 - 2:00 am

  Ive had no problems at all with my 2004 Pontiac Sunfire since I bought it. Gas mileage has been close to 30 mpg either in highway or town driving which is a minor disappointment. Car is too small for a family but its great for just my young son and me. The sunroof should be lots more fun in the summer.

  Reliable as heck - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By njrp2000 - January 28 - 10:00 am

  Outdated or "ancient" as the GM Cavalier/Sunfire models may be they are still reliable. I got the first Sunfire off of the delivery truck back in 1996 here in Orlando and I still own that car. 190,000 miles later I have never had a transmission slip and asides from the traditional A.C. problems. I have never had more than minor service work done on the vehicle. Recently passed on my old sunfire to a friend and bought the 2003 and at 36,000 miles (after only 1 year) the car is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. And I say that in a good way. Outdated? Hah! This car must be like a fine wine then. The older it seems the better it gets.

  Decent car with regard to pricing factor - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By chris - October 18 - 5:53 am

  Ive had the car for 2 years with only 1 minor problem with the AC (the insulation under the dash detached itself and blocked the vent) which, the dealership fixed with no hasel. The car has been very reliable under all conditions and dependable in climate extremes for +115 heat in AZ to -40 in the Rockys. I have put alot of miles on this car (47,000 currently) and have never worried about having a performance related failure. For styling and performance I have yet to find anything else in the same price range that even comes close!

  Good Car! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Rabbit - July 28 - 5:00 am

  I started way back with a Phoenix, Then a Sunbird. Now the 4 door Sunfire. The next one in the line doesnt have a name in Canada -just numbers. Good fuel economy, fast pick up, sleek body. In 4 years Ive replaced 2 tires, the front wheel bearings and I should replace the gas cap. If I can, when its time to replace this one Id like one just like it. Ive put 48,000 kms on it in 4 years and I am happy with its performance and reliability. I cant imagine driving anything other than a Pontiac. I guess Ive been lucky that my three cars have been stout workhorses. The Sunbird was subjected to a teenage boy and all that entails and still it held up.

  2004 Pontiac Sunfire - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By pepsigirl - March 14 - 1:46 pm

  I love this car, I have loved it since I test drove it. I have been getting 32-36 MPG, and NEVER have any problems. I work in a position that requires me to take call at all hours of the day and night, I need a 4 wheel drive now since the snowplows go nite- nite at 8 pm. Cd player, clean, no rust, lots of power, even on the steepest hills. Forest green, (this car is sharp to look at and fun to drive).

  its junk - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By fieroguy - February 15 - 10:00 am

  first, the engine, it makes a lot of noise and not much power, if there are more then two people in the car, you have to shift down allot. The fuel milage is terrible, about 450 to 500KM to a tank. The suspension is terrible, the car leans on all corners, and this combination of power and suspension gives you an uneasy feeling driving over 70KM and passing at any speed. Build quality is terrible. The brakes give an uneasy feeling, if they lock the car pulls to the left. Inside the car, there is a lot of noise, the sand and gravel on the road in winter sounds like you are driving on a gravel road and can get annoying. This is not a winter car
