This was the best car I have ever driven.

I got the car from my brother, and I put most of the miles on it. It was a very strong car; it was put in the ditch a couple times by my brother, I slid into a pole with it, and rear ended a car or two, and it was rear ended. I've never had to spend more than 1,000.00 to fix it; the body held to gather very nice. The only times it got damaged was from the ditch and the pole.

I never had a problem in winter starting it, it get -40 wind chill at night in north Dakota, and mine did not have a block heater and it never put up a fight.

Mine drove great for its year, and is way better than other cars would have been with that amount of miles. Even with my high miles, it still had the power of a GT.

My one major problem was the headlamp switch; it kept on going out and I had to replace it every now and then, or else I would have no head lamps.

My moon roof also quite working in 2007 a few month before it got wrecked. And my mine was 2 door, so after a while my doors did a little sag, but still worked fine.

My sunfire met its end one day when a very large pick up sped through a stop sign and crushed the front end and hood. Even though it was very badly damaged, I still was able to drive it to my insurance company so they could call it totalled.

My car was comfortable even for me, and I am 6'3 200lbs.

The stereo was stock and sounded great.

Back up was a little weird, because it was a little hard to see out the back window, due to its odd shape.

Shifted nicely.

If you buy one, get the GT; it's so much more worth it.
