1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"Sporty dependable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump bearing just went, I received an estimate for $600 - $700.
Motor mount is bad, have not replaced it yet.
General comments?
Excellent running car.
Very quick for a 4 cylinder.
Exterior and interior styling is great. Not cheap looking like some other manufacturers.
Very comfortable seats and easy to reach controls.
GT model comes with great looking 16 inch rims.
