2004 Pontiac Sunfire 2-door Coupe review from North America
"It is a good car for the money spent."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had this car for approximately 1 month, and have not had any problems with this car yet.
General comments?
Although the car is very sporty looking on the exterior, the interior is not very sporty. While you are driving it you feel like you are driving a tiny 4-door sedan instead of a sporty coupe.
The driver seat is very uncomfortable.
The distance to the clutch pedal is not comparable to the gas & brake pedal. Either you are too far away from the clutch or too close to the gas & brake. I am starting to get used to this, but my legs were very sore the first couple of weeks.
It is not easy getting in and out of the driver side of the vehicle.
It has some nice pick up speed when you need it.
The trunk needs to be slammed shut 3 or 4 times before the lock catches and it stays closed. I will be contacting the dealer regarding this, it may be a malfunctioning lock.
