Faults:

Brake lights went out twice causing me to dish out about $130.

Wheels scrubbed when I'd turn left due to steering column.

Gauge light at 50mph mark went out.

Starter is bad. Maybe because of the recall about it catching on fire?

Had to replace the fuel filter.

Currently broke down at my job due to fuel pump. (probably).

Paint chipped and pinstripe wore off.

General Comments:

It's a fast, cheap, car; especially for teens.

However, I don't think it is worth the maintenance and the money you put into it.

Faults:

My gas gage has never worked properly.

Car has taken to overheating for no apparent reason.

The head has warped.

The CD player only works half the time.

General Comments:

This is in response to the previous comments that I have been reading about the problems we all seem to be having with this model of car.

I have just recently spent over $1,000 to fix my Sunfire. I have a lot of the same problems with my car that have been mentioned in previous reviews.

My car had the eratic gas gage levels and the stalling. I inquired several different times with the local dealership as to the cause and they were only able to tell me that it could be 1 of 26 different things.

I do not have the money to replace 26 different things on this car in hopes that I might get lucky and fix the problems within the first few tries.

Here are some of the things that I replaced before I finally got it fixed. The first thing that the dealership suggested was the ignition module, which cost over $100, then there was the thermostat which runs about $8.00, the the fuel filter, another $20.00, and finally when all was said and done, the fuel pump at a cost of $200.

On top of all of this my car started running hot and overheating for no reason. This eventually caused the head to warp and I had to have 20 thousandths shaved off.

Faults:

The car would not start at around 40,000 miles : fixed under warranty, I had to get new brakes around 40,000 miles: also fixed under warranty, something is wrong with the oil filter; the steering wheel is making a very strange noise at around 60,000 miles, speakers rattle and it has a recall; something about the starter catching fire.?

General Comments:

This is a good starter car for teenagers, it's not too roomy though and the paint scratches extremely easily.

Faults:

I got the car the 1st of December in 2003.

When I got it the radio's light side was burned out.

One week after I got the car the mileage light burned out, since I bought it from a friend I couldn't take it to the dealer and get it fixed, I called the dealer and they said it would be over 300 bucks to get it fixed so I said forget it, I'll just shine a light on it to see it once and a while.

So far nothing else has gone wrong with it.

General Comments:

I like how the radio has an info button so you can see who is singing what.

The seats are very comfortable.

The person that I bought it from had a sunroof put in and that helps having light come through the roof during the winter so your car gets warm in parking lots.

Takes off very good for a little 4 banger.

Great on gas.

I likes it's sporty look on the outside.

That's about it.
