2000 Pontiac Sunfire SD review from North America
"A tow truck's best friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My power steering pump blew at 70,000 miles costing $300.00.
My fuel pump blew at 70,000 miles costing $800.00.
I had to have the entire break system replaced at 35,000 miles costing $450.00.
General comments?
The car is very unreliable.
If you have somewhere to be this is not the car for, it is always breaking down in the worst of places.
The horn only works when the car is heated up, making it dangerous if in an unsafe area.
The car sounds like you are in the drum section of a high school marching band.
It's simple.
It's a cheaply made car, GM is sneaky, sell the car for less, but make up in parts and labor.
