"A lemon on wheels"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Everything. The sunroof leaks, the cruise control works when it wants, the paint is peeling on both doors, the AC never blows cold air even at full blast, the CD player has scratched several of my CD's and the radio buttons stick constantly.

General comments?

I hate this car. I traded out of my 1999 Nissan Maxima to get my payments lower and thought I was getting a good deal because of the $3000 rebate. I found out that the reason GM offers these rebates is because that's the only way they can get people to buy their lemons. I tried to trade out of this POS and found out I still $4,000 more on my loan than the car is worth. I am stuck with this car for at least another two years. I paid $18,000 for it and the most I can get for it now is $5,500. And they wonder why more people don't buy American?

I disagree with this person's review. I've had my Sunfire since 2002 and nothing has gone wrong on it. Nothing leaks either. I love this car. Worst cars by far are anything made by Ford.

I have a 2001 Sunfire GT and I love it! I live in northern Alberta, Canada and have had no problems driving my car in -51 degrees Celsius weather. Every winter we get cold temperatures averaging -45 degrees and the only difficulty for the car is that the tires are frozen and it makes the ride rough. I guess it depends who your dealer is, because any repairs that I have needed have been minor.

I've had my Sunfire for 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it. It runs nicely, doesn't leak, and my air conditioning is TOO cold sometimes.

The paint is wearing off on the top of the doors, but I've noticed that in every sunfire I've seen. I'm not sure what's up with that.

I used to drive a Ford Ranger, so this little Sunfire is heaven compared to my old truck.
