2001 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"A lemon on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything. The sunroof leaks, the cruise control works when it wants, the paint is peeling on both doors, the AC never blows cold air even at full blast, the CD player has scratched several of my CD's and the radio buttons stick constantly.
General comments?
I hate this car. I traded out of my 1999 Nissan Maxima to get my payments lower and thought I was getting a good deal because of the $3000 rebate. I found out that the reason GM offers these rebates is because that's the only way they can get people to buy their lemons. I tried to trade out of this POS and found out I still $4,000 more on my loan than the car is worth. I am stuck with this car for at least another two years. I paid $18,000 for it and the most I can get for it now is $5,500. And they wonder why more people don't buy American?
