1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE review from North America
"An inexpensive, but great ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only repair I have had to do on the car was to replace the battery (the car was not starting in the mornings sometimes).
The car has a small exhaust leak that has to be fixed, but it is not anything major.
General comments?
This car is wonderful.
It has quick, responsive steering and is very stable going around sharp bends.
Acceleration is nice, and it is a blast to drive anywhere - highway, city or country.
The only things I would change would be to add some more power to it (the car isn't quite quick enough for me), and a better Anti-Lock Break System.
