This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Low price, torquey four-cylinder engine, optional satellite radio and OnStar.
Cons:
  • Ancient design inside and out, cheap interior materials, poor build quality, low resale value, poor side-impact and front-offset crash test results.

  • Sunfires are Bad Cars - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    We have had nothing but trouble with this car since we bought it. The latest is that the motor mount broke in half which messed up the axles. The car is an accident waiting to happen. I am just lucky my daughter didnt get hurt. The hood is still loose on one side but the dealers will not replace it. We have been in three times. When the trunk started leaking (two days after we got the car)they found a wire coat hanger inside the wall but could not explain it. The car is a pile of junk. It is defective but Pontiac will not do anything about it. I guess they are waiting for someone to die first.

  • problem with brakes and tires a lot - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    It is 2009 now and this car was gotten in 2004. It only has 2900 miles on it and I have had to get the breaks replaced twice now. Both times the life time warranty pads have been replaced and the the rotors as well as some other things. There was a recall after a couple years as the check engine light will come on , but they fixed that. I have had to replace the tire a few times now , the front tires wear on this car very quickly as well as the breaks. Also the windshield wipers fluid doesnt last at all. Other than that I havent had any problems. Although that seems like a lot considering the mileage .It has good handling and looks.

    I feel the car is a great buy for driving around town and short trips. The price is fair and the gas milage is excellent. The only bad feature is that the interior could be a little bigger.

  • Best car Ive ever owed! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I am in search of another car due to a collision with a deer and am so disappointed because I loved both my Sunfires I have owed. My first was a 2004 yellow Sunfire and most recently at 2005 orange Sunfire. They both were always reliable, never had any problems with either one except for the CD player in my most recent. Never could get it to work properly without it wanted to eat a CD. Other than that, I LOVED both cars and wish I could find another! ** I had to select a model but both were automatic and not 5 speed but automatic was not an option to choose.

    I have owned my Pontiac sunfire for almost 3years now. It handles and drives great. I love this car. The fuel economy is worth it. It is n;ot a gas guzzler like some of these other cars you see out there. Plus, it is sporty!

    I an not say enough about my Sunfire. The ride is excellent. You can not expect a top of the line ride from a lower level car. Fun to drive. Good gas millage. No service issues. All around one of the best cars I have owned. I have owned many and thi one is in the top 3.

  • 2004 Pontiac Sunfire 2dr Coup 2.2L4cyl - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    When I bought this car, it only had 27,000 miles on it. I drive around 100 miles a day. It now has 165,000 miles. Runs like a new one. The only things I have had to replace is the cluster panel, the window motor & regulator and the switch module. Just had to do that recently. As for as the engine nothing, just the regular maintenance. My goal is to get 200,000 miles on it and I should be able to without a problem. I can honestly say it has been one of the best cars I have ever owned.
