2000 Pontiac Sunfire SE review from North America
"Bargain for teen drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car would not start at around 40,000 miles : fixed under warranty, I had to get new brakes around 40,000 miles: also fixed under warranty, something is wrong with the oil filter; the steering wheel is making a very strange noise at around 60,000 miles, speakers rattle and it has a recall; something about the starter catching fire.?
General comments?
This is a good starter car for teenagers, it's not too roomy though and the paint scratches extremely easily.
