1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"My new favorite car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just a few recalls which the dealer fixed promptly for free. The power steering line (one of the recalls) was installed incorrectly by the dealer that caused a leakage and the power steering to go out (which cost $120 to correct, but refunded by the dealer for their mistake).
General comments?
GT model is a very fast car, I didn't quite expect it to be such a great car yet so inexpensive. Love this car!!!
