1996 Pontiac Sunfire SRS review from North America
"Nice car that I would buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Horn switch at the steering wheel, that took the dealer two attempts to replace at 35000 miles, now the horn itself should be replaced.
Front struts need to be replaced now.
Front brakes wear quickly, then again it could be my driving...
General comments?
The car has good acceleration and handling.
The cost of ownership is very low, gas mileage is 28+ mpg, and I'm on the same set of tires since buying the car over 35000 miles ago.
It's a little too small for me, 5'11", 230 lbs.
