  Much better than expected! - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By benswing - November 17 - 8:00 am

  After 110,000 miles, 2 minor fender benders and loads of road trips I still love my first car. Even the SE engine has some pep with an upper engine mount and a K&N air filter. She is relatively quick off the line and gets me where Im going with a touch of style. Not the cleanest lines in a car, but not a boring Civic/Camry/Escort/etc. Only issues in 8+ years has been a hose replacement, and the vibrations are more noticeable than Id like, but not bad overall. Ive been very pleased with the reliability, fun and comfort for the price.

  one tough car - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By denice - June 13 - 2:33 am

  in this sunfire we hit a deer and no damage was done. After owning the car for four years i hit a three quarter ton chevy and no damage was done (but caved in the door of the chevy. backed into a half ton chevy and no damage. and the last thing is i jumped out of the car and forgot to put it in park and the car ran into the house and it did not receive any damage. we have 112,000 mile and still get 27 miles per gallon. no major problems and scheduled maintance is the only thing we have had to do to it.

  The Little Engine That Could - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Scoop444 - April 25 - 7:53 am

  Bought a red GT in 2004 with 60K Miles on it. Beautiful car, monsoon radio really pumped, I also added and amp with 3 10 speakers. I am in the army and my hometown is about 320 miles away, so I went home a lot. I used to fly up and down i-95. This car accelerates fast and handles exceptionally well. But after 4 months of use, the engine gave out on me. I replaced the engine and she never drove quite the same. The CD player stopped working after 7 months as well as the LCD display for the Monsoon audio system. You cannot replace the radio head unit because Monsoon wiring techniques. Door handle fell off and I had too super glue it back on. Its a tank tho.

  Great car and sad thats its gone - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Kenzie - April 8 - 9:30 pm

  My sunfire was the first car I ever got and I drove the crap out of it. It ran great and in the seven years I had it I replaced the fuel pump and breaks. The other day I got hit by a gravel truck and even with the low safety rating this car had me and my dog walked away from the accident fine. Im sad to see my sunfire go and it will be missed

  Great Reliable little car - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Lesley Draper - August 28 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car in 1999, and during the almost four years I have had it, it has cost me, one battery f & R Brake jobs, 2 sets of tires, new T-stats. This car is prone to heat up when on hard pulls in hot weather. Even rund over half hot in cold weather. Have had no major problems, still gets good gas mileage, and handles great. Good in snow too. It could be a litle more comfotrable, but seems equal to many cars in its catagorie. Keep tranny fluid up, and change the oil every 2k. I use synthetic oil and it gets better performance. I would buy another...For the price its a winner!

  Fun and Reliable - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By justin_c_wood - June 10 - 4:31 am

  I bought this car with 198 000km on it and it now has 218 000km. This is my first car and Im very happy with it. All Ive done besides regular maintenance ( tires, brakes, spark plugs, oil and e.t.c) is replace a heater fan van vent motor and an idler pulley. Both were cheap to replace. I also find it accelerates decently for a pushrod 4 cylinder motor with the manual 5spd. When driven easy, its not too hard to attain around 32mpg highway.

  mine - 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
  By green machine - April 13 - 3:16 am

  Lots of small repairs but worth it. Steering is awesome but braking is ok.
