1995 Pontiac Sunfire SE review from North America
"Good deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head lights are dim. I've been told that's normal for the car.
The transmission was just fixed for a fluid leak.
The fan belt was replaced February 2002.
I think the rear windshield is leaking.
The torque converter had to be replaced in 2002.
The oil filter is difficult to reach, but that's common on a GM product.
General comments?
Much better throttle response than my 1990 Cavalier (you can find the survey for that under "I wish I had a Ford")
The gas mileage isn't very good.
The back seat is very comfortable on the Sedan.
The trunk can hold about $300 of groceries with only a few being put into the back seat.
Front seats are very comfortable.
It would be nice if I larger place to put the cases for my glasses and sun glasses.
Despite being low to the ground, it can go over a side walk curb with out doing any major damage. I know this from a very scary experience while leaving a hockey game.
The suspension is starting to get a little rough.
