This Year's Model Updates:

A standard rear spoiler and a new exterior color are the only new additions to the Sunfire for 2001. The GT convertible is no longer available, leaving the sedan and coupe versions as the only available body styles.

Pros:
  • Racy styling, comfy interior, rev-happy twin-cam engine, good value.
Cons:
  • Option list can overpower low price, body roll apparent during hard cornering.

    I love it. Ive got the bright yellow and a 5-speed manual transmission and it is great. And the most important thing is, i can smoke cavaliers.

  • Double Edged Sword - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
    By -

    I loved mine, but when someone totaled it, there was no way Id buy another. I had paid more than the payment each month - sometimes doubled it - to get it paid off quicker, but when I settled with the insurance company, I only got a couple of hundred dollars b/c the car depreciates in value so quickly. It wasnt a scam, it just depriciates that rapidly. If you can imagine putting all that $ into it, and either getting a couple of hundred dollars (and that was only b/c I had paid more each month and owed less than I should have at that point) OR most likely oweing the insurance company, then go ahead. Id think twice, though

    Was going for a back and forth to work shuttle. Got a car that was fun to drive, both economic and powerful enough for the highway, reliable, well- built, and it even looks good. Fold down rear seat gives extra utility. Car just makes me feel good.

  • review of our Pontiac Sunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire

    This car is too small for me to get in and out of comfortably. It is a good looking little car, but that is the problem, it is too little for me and I am only 58". My wife and I are always bumping each others elbows, fighting for our space. We are wanting someone to take over payments on it.

    I bought mine new and have owned it for about 5 years - great, great car. I would definitely buy this again. Very reliable - never any major problems, fun to drive, large trunk, very roomy and comfortable even on long trips. Sporty look and quick pick-up. Great car to buy!
