1999 Pontiac Sunfire Sedan review from North America
"Good little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Service engine light comes on while driving as well as a pass-key lock warning light. Had it checked a couple of times and re-flashed. Hasn't been cured.
Remote key entry has an annoying emergency horn beeper button that can be set off accidentally and quite often.
Just recently the thermostat had to be replaced. First GM dealership I took it to wasn't too cooperative. Next one took it in, gave me a courtesy car for 2 days until they could get to fixing it. Repair was covered under warranty.
General comments?
Great on gas.
Trunk is just big enough to get all our baby accessories in for a week long trip.
Comes with 3 built in baby seat anchors in the rear seat.
