  My Fire Review - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Jason - January 5 - 8:13 am

  Its a nice smooth shifting 5 speed. It does have some get up and go and many after market parts for the tuner world. Biggest complaint is the dark cloud that I get and all my ecotec motor friends get on first startup especially really cold ones

  Good Basic Economy Car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ClaireW - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Decent economy car. Doesnt have all the bells and whistles but dependable transportation. Sound system package well worth the price. Not as smooth and quiet as more expensive models but good basic transportation. Good in snow and on wet roads.

  Very good and fun car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Max - February 11 - 9:33 pm

  This is my 3rd Sunbird/Sunfire, 1st bought new. Very satisfied! 25-28mpg. No mechanical problems at all at 27k miles. Only issue was with bodywork as trunklid twice would not close. Dealer fixed promptly. VG performance from 2.2L engine. Styling still attractive after 4 yrs, beats the G5 handsdown. Dropdown rear seatbacks have allowed me to carry much more than you may think! And yep, cupholders location stink! Kept car simple with base model, no power windows or locks so no problem there. Very good sound system. Normal maintenance. Oil and filters every 3000 miles. Original tires about halfway to replacement

  By james elliott - February 7 - 5:06 pm

  I am 75 years old and have owned over 50 new cars so I usually dont get too excited when I get a new one. This one did it. The performance is great. The shifter is excelent. Good gas mileage. Good price. A fun to drive green machine.

  Good Car, Some Faults - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By davyd - February 4 - 3:00 am

  I got an 05 Sunfire with roughly 117000 miles on it, its still going strong! Except the gauges... Im not sure if it has something to do with the heat, but everything works at night and in the mornings. But everyday after school, after my car has been sitting in the sun for 8 hours, the gauges like to "stick". I dont know if this is happenign to everyone or just me. I think its a very nice first car, its got a nice accelation, and gass isnt too terrible on it. But my only problem with it is the Gauges. Im not sure if its electrical and can be fixed manually, but if anyone knows anything, please tell me.

  My husband bought me this car and I love it. It looks like it cost more than it did. Corners very well and the sound system is the best.

  My first car - 2005 Pontiac Sunfire
  By red/line - September 28 - 4:50 am

  When the salesman pulled the white 2005 Sunfire up, at first I was upset. He told me take it for a spin, and when you come back, tell me what you thought. Lucky for me the dealership was right next to the freeway. I got the car up to 55, and floored it. All it took was the time to downshift, and hit the powerband(instantly), and I was doing 70, going into 3rd gear which never ends. I love the performance of this car. The styling is cool as well, it stands out from the crowd. The interior is cool, but kinda cramped, but im just over 62" so it would be.
