Overview & Reviews
After Sunfire coupes got a rear spoiler last year, this year it's the sedan's turn, only as an option. The top-line 2.4-liter twin-cam engine is revised to improve breathing, including new fuel injectors, injection rails, exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. Fern Green Metallic is added to the paint color chart.
- Racy styling, comfy interior, rev-happy twin-cam engine, good value.
- Option list can overpower sale price, body roll apparent during hard cornering.

impressed - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By NewSunfireFan - August 15 - 8:56 pmI have never been a Sunfire/Cavalier fan thinking people that owned them did not know style. I dont think theyre the prettiest, however, Im now impressed with the way this Sunfire handles. Would prefer manual, but the automatic trans has pretty nice pull for 150 horses. Engines a little loud - especially compared to my GrandPrix, but turn up the 6- speaker stereo, take down the windows, throw back the sunroof and touring Europe - the perfect car for it. Im glad I bought it while here in Europe.

I like my wheels.............. - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By sparkyjo - August 12 - 10:00 amI have owned my car for 2.8 years and it has been an awesome vehicle. As a single mother with 3 kids it was what I could afford at the time. No major complaints, just wish it was a little more roomier in the back as the kids get bigger. Its great on gas, looks great and handles awesome.

I got good value for my $$ - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By AZ - May 12 - 9:36 amI got my 99 red Sunfire 2 door 2.2 auto for $11000 in 2001. I LOVED my little red coupe. It has really served me well. Ive had almost no mechanical problems for the first 4 years I owned it. I just did regular maintenance and oil changes, brakes replaced at about 70,000 km, etc.. My only major problems with it have been in the past year. I blew out my head gasket at 100,000 km. Paid nearly $1000 to get a new head gasket & water pump. Ive been told by many mechanics that the Sunfires are notorious for head gasket problems! So watch your anti freeze levels and dont let it over heat as that gasket has very low tolerance. I also got the wiring recall work done at a GM dealership for free

another pontiac failure - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By phxSuns - March 17 - 10:00 amI bought a used 99 sunfire pontiac, expecting to get a great american vehicle. I have had major problems with the accessories, whereas the machine and the transmission are great. Mostly I expected a better Fuel Economy, and a better heat endurance from the vehicle. This car made me think of an european vehicle for next purchase.

Cute, sporty, and a geat little snow car - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By mc brown - July 16 - 9:13 pmAn under rated little car that goes all winter up here in Alaska- never failing to start, even at 20 below zero.Seats 5 if the 3 in back are under 58. Pluses: nibble little snow car that can traverse unplowed roads with 6 inches of fresh snow falling. The front wheel drive and steering combo make control flat out awesome. I do have abs and a manual transmission. Negatory power- there is no vroooom but I get 33 mpg in town. I would buy this car again in a heart beat. It reminds me of a cross between my favorite car ever, the 1978 Saab 900 and the old diesel rabbit. Back seats fold flat practicality in a feature packed low low cost ride. Great comuter ski bunny car. Get the sunroof!

Mini Hotrod - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By Drew Shelenski - July 4 - 10:00 amI bought my baby at the end of January. A beautiful 2 dr 5spd 2.2L coupe for $4900 However my car is no longer what it was, I put eibach springs on it, new struts/shocks, cd player, speakers, alarm, 17"white sokudo rims, IAT sensor, blue lights, red light up pedals, red shift knob, And white dash interior. This car is a chick magnet and was dirt cheap for the style it has. overall my car is worth $7,200 now and was worth every penny. I wish I had a GT but newer models only come in auto.

CRAP CAR - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By MELINDA - May 3 - 10:00 amAT FIRST THE CAR WAS GREAT BUT ONCE I HIT THE FIRST YEAR MARK THINGS STARTED GOING WRONG AND FALLING APART. THE DASH WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED INCORRECT AND CANNOT BE FIXED, THE ROATERS ARE SHOT AND NEED REPLACED. NOW AT THREE YEARS I AM GETTING RID OF IT BECAUSE IT IS BURNING AND LEAKING EVERY FLUID UNDER THE HOOD. BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS IT SUCKS GAS AND I AM SPENDING MORE ON GAS PER MONTH THAN MY CAR PAYMENT. ALL THE BURNING FLUIDS EMITS FUMES THAT ARE WORSE THAN DRIVING BEHIND A DESIL SEMITRUCK.. I WILL NEVER BUY PONTIAC AGAIN AND AM LOOKING TO SELL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

I love my car - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By stargrrrl - February 25 - 2:00 amI have had this car for two and a half years and not once has it let me sit. I have never even had a problem starting, even in the dead of winter. It gets me plenty of looks and the pep that it has is just perfect for the daily driver that wants some speed! This is my 4th car and my favorite, I would definately recommend this car to anyone!

Very Satisfied With my Pontiac - 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
By Pontiac Rules Baby! - December 19 - 10:00 amWhen I bought my Sunfire GT in Feb. 02, I was very excited to own a newer car. Now in July, Im still just as excited to own this baby! I love this car. Its quick, manoevers great and loves the corners. Ive heard lots of people knock this car, and I used to do it too...until I bought one. Now I tell people how great this car actually is. NOw, for those of you who have complaints about the Sunfires, (especially the convertibles) all I have to say is, "serves you right". The Sufire and Cavalier convertibles are probably the ugliest cars around and I have no Idea what would posess anyone to buy one. I went with the sunroof and thats good enough for me.
