1996 Pontiac Sunfire GTX review from North America
"Excellent car overall, Great on Gas!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine started ticking at 220 000 and I had engine took down and checked out, rings were gone. Got it put back together and ticking is now gone. Running Great Again.
Brakes go often, rotors and drums gone now. and Brakes again for the third time.
I have replaced struts once since owning the car.
General comments?
I have One question I need answered, what is the difference between a GTX model and a SE model? My car is a GTX and it seems more powerful and faster then a SE model. I raced a 96 SE model (standard trans) and I won big time. And my car is an Automatic.
I need this question answered badly. If anyone can help me out with the answer please e-mail me at calvinhur20@hotmail.com.
