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.

  Great Car - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By BG - December 5 - 5:10 am

  I was a little skeptical about this entry level car but so far it has made a believer out of me! It is a real eye catcher and its low ride and sporty looks reminds me of the good old american cars from the 70s. Its starts every time up here in Canada and gets pretty good gas mileage even in real cold weather. Our other car is a 2004 Civic and to date the Sunfire has had less problems than the Honda, go figure!

  Wasnt my first choice - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Rod - October 17 - 5:36 pm

  Needed a car, needed a deal, Gm announced they were giving an $4000. rebate on the car. This car was not on my radar as I looked at Civics, Scions and others.... So far I am very pleased with the engine, it takes the mountains with ease and the mileage is very good. The seats are horrible. fit and finish is fair... Room inside is poor. Handling is very good and is fun to drive. Styling still sets it apart. Resale is horrible... Overall its a terrible buy as a new car but a steal as a used car....

  Car - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Heather - October 7 - 2:20 am

  I bought this car new and have already had problems with the engine. They had to replace the engine at 10,000, a factory defect. I have not been happy with this vehicle from the start and wanted to return it, but they would not. Once a lemon always a lemon, now I have 54,000 km on it and one of the bearing is totally disintegrated. Now Gm is wondering why, purpose because it was a lemon from the beginning. I am not carless, they do not give courtesy cars to powertrain warranty customers and they seem to be taking there sweet time. I put in several complaints about this car in the past and got no where. Im sure they just thought I was a complainer. HATE this car,never will buy again

  If you have one of these, sell it! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ahnalia - August 26 - 12:36 pm

  First the ICP had to be replaced, then the transmission started acting up, then the key wouldnt come out of the ignition, but the final straw is the fact at a mere 25 mile per hour front end collsion, the car I hit was fine with very little damage.. my sunfire on the otherhand, was completely and utterly destroyed. The airbags did deploy, and no one was seriously hurt, but the car itself, I am beyond words of how utterly destroyed the car is. Total loss, engine is nearly inside the dashboard, window shattered, hood is almost up to the windshield. Flimsy design and completely unsafe IMO. If you own one of these, sell it NOW! You may be saving a life! I will NEVER buy another GM car-ever!

  Excellent Car - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Paul McGuire - June 14 - 4:40 pm

  Perfect car for a college student. Excellent gas mileage in the city (32+mpg) and more than enough power 0- 60Mph in 7.2 seconds (5 speed manual). Although the interior room is minimal (not good for people over 6 ft) the car is good enough for me (511). I have put 26,000 miles on the car in less than 6 months and have had NO problems. If you take care of this car it will last you forever. Several mechanics have told me I could easily hit 400,000 miles. This car out ranks any import in speed, reliability, and **cost of ownership.**

  Pontiac Sunfire 2001 - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Laurbabe - June 5 - 2:00 am

  Its a fun sporty car. Its a coupe, but the interior is extremely comfortable, and the backseat IS big enough to fit 3 people instead of only 2. Its comfortable, cute, and fun.

  Great value for the price and size! - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Brian Hamlett - March 7 - 2:00 am

  As a taller than average male, I was a little concerned about purchasing this vehicle. But for the many advantages to owning this car, they outweighed this small inconvenience. Style, options, fuel efficiency and affordability were all pluses in my decision to look at this economy vehicle. Ive always loved Pontiac, and they have held true to their name, even on this entry level vehicle.

  I Love My Sunfire - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Sherrona - January 5 - 3:36 pm

  After test driving the Pontiac Solstice (and deciding I wanted the car) I spotted a used rally yellow Sunfire for a third of the price in the car lot. I was sold after just two blocks of the test drive and a year later, I have nothing but great things to say about this car. My only expenditures have been gas and a couple oil changes. You turn the key and the car starts and is the most reliable vehicle Ive ever driven. I recommend this care Sunfire to anyone who wants a reliable, economical vehicle thats fun to drive. Love the sunroof & the stereo (above average). Only drawback is the police love to stop me ---sporty car profiling at its worse as Ive yet to get a ticket!
