1996 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"Feel bad for whoever is driving it now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every part except motor and tranny.
General comments?
It is a piece of garbage.
Had no pick up at all, my old Accent was faster then it.
Car is very slow, people are stupid to modify them.
Car wasn't very good on gas for a 2.2.
Spent over 4000 $ in repairs, never again.
Handling was no good.
Could seat 5 pretty good.
Barely pass cars on the highway, shitty passing gear.
