2001 Pontiac Sunfire SE review from North America
"I will never own another Pontiac again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A drunk driver hit me, and my Pontiac Sunfire this past March. The car was completely totaled and started fire.
With in the first 3 weeks of owning the car, it was at the dealership 3 times. The car just would not start. The staff at the Pontiac dealership were rude. The last time it was at the shop, they kept it there for a week. Turns out there was something wrong with the fuel injectors. The brakes were horrible, and the entire front end of the car would SHAKE when any sudden pressure would be applied to the break pedal.
General comments?
It was very good on gas, and it was a fun first car.
Stereo was bad. Back speaker blew the first time I put the bass to its fullest potential. Cup holders were in the way of the air controls.
The back seat was very small, yet the trunk was huge.
