1997 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"How about one word...Horrible!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car, it had a bad gas line that had to be replaced. Then the alternator and battery when out. A couple of months ago, the housing coils where the spark plugs are went bad and caused my engine to severely misfire. The unit, plugs, and one boot had to be replaced. Two months later, the new housing coil unit I had put in it went bad again. Thank god it was still under warranty! I am also having a problem that causes my check engine light to stay on. It reads emissions problem caused by gas cap apparently. I tighten the gas cap as much as possible, but still this doesn't fix the problem.
General comments?
Whoever said the car sucks gas was right. I thought I'd be saving on gas with this car. WRONG!!! There is also some other small problem with the wheel area that they say will kill my tires faster. I don't know if I can say anything nice about this car. If I had it to do over again, I definitely WOULD NOT buy it!
