1996 Pontiac Sunfire 2 Door Coupe review from North America
"A well performing, comfortable and stylish car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wipers are broken, and it's simply not worth the money to fix them, it should be a recall.
When I first bought the car I noticed that the heater resistor was cracked, and appears to be a common problem with these cars.
The front and back strut mounts are making ticking and knocking noises. The is nothing major, I just turn the stereo up.
The car has a slight pull to the left, but I am not sure what is.
General comments?
Very sporty looking car for the money.
Only as 115HP, but can get along just fine.
I have a feeling my next car is going to be a sunfire GT, just to boost the horses up the 150!
This car is very reliable so far, and I hope that it's going to hold up. Right now it is not showing any signs or unreliability.
Good gas mileage, gets me just shy of 600 kilometers per tank.
