1999 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"Its highly overpriced and not very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When you're on the interstate going like 70 it shake more than a normal car does, really scary.
My radio went out on me. It comes on whenever it pleases.
When you're on a long trip it becomes uncomfortable.
The thermostat gave out on me causing coolant to spit out everywhere and now when its hot outside and I drive for like an hour it over heats, and I live in Georgia.
General comments?
First of all I want to say that I payed $13,000 for a standard Pontiac Sunfire. No tape player just am/fm radio, manual locks, windows, and seats, and it was used. At first it was a really good car, but after driving it for a while it started to mess up.
They sound good at first and run great until you have it for a year or so, or after your warranty runs out.
