1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"This car is a really reliable car that has a lot of horsepower and torque"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The things that have gone wrong with the car are the Transmission Seal went because of dealer Error. The big thing that is going wrong is the Air Conditioner Compressor is grinding. This is like a 800 dollar job. The great thing about this car is that it has a sunroof and I love to cruise around town with it open. The only complaint that I have about the car is that the front paint isn't very good, but that's not that big of a deal I will repaint this summer.
General comments?
This car is really fast and handles great. I would buy another one if I had the chance. It has beaten lots of my friends cars in races which include a 2000 mustang V6 and a 1987 Camaro with a 5.0 V8. This car is the greatest thing to come from GM. The only thing is that on cold mornings the back window takes forever to defrost because it is so big. But that's the only bad thing.
