1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE Coupe review from North America
"Great Looking, Reliable InexpensiveCar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced 2 Water Pumps.
Replaced Valve Cover Gasket.
Light burnt out on radio.
Brake Rotor warping.
General comments?
Amazing reliability, fun to drive, very economical, great looking and very comfortable seats. I'm over 6' and never feel tired on long distance trips.
It handles very well and the 5 speed manual makes it fun to drive. It drives very well in rain and snow. Paint still looks great and it has never been garaged.
