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.

    I have a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire and the resale stinks! Its only 4 years old, has only 47,000 miles, is in excellent shape, and only Im being offered $3800 from dealers. Please be very careful when buying this car. Its an awesome car, but as soon as you drive it off the lot, the value is gone. FYI.

  • 2004 Sunfire is understated for Value - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire

    A very good car for the money. I own a Jag/2003, Honda Civic EX 2002/ Transam 2000/ Suburban 1999 and of course a 2004 Sunfire. I believe Hondas and Toyota are overrated for the cost it takes to own them. Between the honda and sufire/ sunfire for price quality. I has options like traction control/ side air bags that the Honda Civic doesnt even offer. The seats are softer than Mercedes or Jaguar. It is cheap on the interior, but everything you need is there. A $18,000 Sunfire with $4000 rebate and $3500 GM bucks ends up costing $9677 with taxes and tags. Try that with a Honda! Considering it is $6500 cheaper than a Honda or Toyota.

    A very good car for the money. I believe Hondas and Toyota are overrated for the cost it takes to own them. Between the honda and sufire, I would suggest Sunfire for price & quality.It has everything basic you need in a car.

  • Little Maintenance Requiered - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I have owned my 2004 Sunfire since it had 6 miles on it; oil changes have been at 15,000 miles or more intervals (I use Synthetic. Today well driving to work she just hit 125,000 miles and runs like the day I bought it. The engine runs smooth, still gets 26mpg in the city and 31 on the highway. With all that said I have had few major issues. This year I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator, catalytic converter and the fuel tank purge solenoid. Other than that, 2 set of breaks, 2 ignition modules and 1 set of tires. The car is reliable and has never left me stranded, still has the factory exhaust, serpentine belt, spark plugs and transmission fluid. total Maint cost so far ($2200)

  • Sunfire The best - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I have had this Car since the begining of September of 04. I drive a lot and put on astronmocial amounts of mileage on my cars. I have had foreign cars and find they are are more trouble than they are worth. I had a Honda Accord and didnt like them so I went to American after that car. Having over 70,000 miles on this car it was never in the shop for warrenty work always regular maintence. Although seats arent the best it gives me enough room for driving every day and the cruise control is awsome. This car has a nice in your face front and clean look in the back.
