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.

Last Model Sunfire Out with a Bang - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
By Jonny - May 2 - 9:50 pmThe 2004 Pontiac Sunfire was definitely one for the books. With lots of economical problems with the cars history (the older 1990s models and early 2000 models) I expected some high maintenance work. However, I was disappointed at that end. The cars economical ability is standard. Change bulbs when burnt out, fill gas, change oil. The performance is also outstanding considering the heavy body style. With a 2.2L Ecotec engine backed by a 4 speed Automatic Transmission (I also drove a 5 speed manual) you will get the power you need to steer through tight corners while still being able to utilize the agility of the power-to-weight ratio. All in all, a fun car to drive.

I love this little car - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
By fett - June 22 - 10:00 amI love the way this little car looks and drives. Its way more fun than any of the other cars I drove and for some reason it feels more powerful than the others. Its dirt cheap and perfect for every day driving.

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

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

Fun and Pretty, But Impractical - 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
By Heather - December 24 - 9:26 amThis is my first car with a loan. Despite the fact that I did about everything wrong when buying from a dealership, this car has turned out to be a decent deal. My only regret is that I bought it because it was pretty rather than researching it before I signed on the dotted line.
