2000 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America

Even though I only purchased the car a week ago, I am experiencing problems already.

Three days after purchase, I took apart the rear deck cover to see what the speaker situation was and to look over for considerations of new speakers. Found out that left side sound doesn't work at all in the rear only, has a aftermarket head unit and believe maybe a disconnected wire, but nonetheless its very concerning because I want to put a good system in this car.

Four days after purchase, biggest snow around here (WV) of the year. Car doesn't perform well in snow at all. I didn't expect it to be outstanding, but it is very light handling and slides easily.

Four days after purchase, while driving home, check engine light comes on. Great! Haven't had the car to the shop yet to see what the code might be, it isn't doing anything seemingly unusual, but it still concerns me.

The car is pretty nice as far as being a good daily driver. Decent gas mileage, fun to drive with the five-speed. Car has some pretty good potential.

Interior is pretty dull and needs an upgrade, reminds me of flying coach on a economy airline. You get what you pay for I guess.

Terrible in the snow. Don't consider as a winter car at all.

Has some road noise when you are on a rough road, sounds like a strut squeaking and the trunk deck vibrating.

Exterior needs aluminum wheels, which I'm going to put on soon. Hubcaps are not attractive.
