1995 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"OK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield wiper motor went just after the warranty had expired.
The head gasket needs to be replaced and the car only has 42,000 km on it.
General comments?
I have been very happy with the car so far, as it has been very dependable.
However, to have the head gasket go when it only has 42,000 km is very disapointing. We were planning on buying a new car soon, but after reading some of the horror stories on the web, I think we will be buying a different make of vehicle.
Toyota had a head gasket problem with some of their late eighties to early ninety's V-6 trucks. At least they had the guts to recall them and have them repaired.
