My 1996 Pontiac Sunfire is my first car. It’s so hot and sexy and it’s darned near perfect for a 42-year-old woman starting out on her own in this world.
I’ve driven other cars, even owned other cars, but the Sunfire is MY FIRST CAR. Every other...
Pros: Stylish, Fuel-Efficient, Reliable Cons: An Economy Car
My mom purchased a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE sedan new in 1996. The main reason she choose this car over the others was the looks. She drove by a Pontiac dealer, saw it on the lot and knew this would be her next car.
Pros: Cost, Reliable, Sporty. Cons: small rattles that can't be fixed or found.
Every time I look at my 96' Sunfire it takes me back. The year was 1996 and the place was our local Pontiac dealer. I stood squinting. Somewhere in the distance a dog barked. I was there to TRADE! I owned a 㤂 full-size, extended cab GMC pickup....
I would NOT recommend this vehicle to anyone who values their time or pocketbook. I bought this car new and have had nothing but problems from day one. GM is a great company if you never have problems with your car, but if you do, don't expect anything...
Pros: Great look - fun to drive Cons: Seems to need a lot of work once warranty expires
I bought my Sunfire because it looked VERY cool. I bought a two-door SE coupe with red exterior and red interior (yes, red interior - you can't even order that anymore). I love the fact that this car is sporty yet practical. I still get all kinds of...
Pros: price, comfortable, good warranty and service Cons: lots of mechanical problems
It was January 1997 and my '92 Sunbird had a cracked head which needed replacement to the tune of $2200.00 (had run it out of oil in 95 degree weather on a lonely highway in Maine 2 summers before, surprised it lasted that long afterwards). So I had it...
Pros: Body Design, Interior, Anti-Lock Brakes Cons: A/C System, Alternator
When I was looking for a new vehicle I test drove the Dodge Neon and the Chevy Cavalier as well as the Sunfire and there was no contest. The Sunfire's performance was way better than the Neon and the overall look made the...
Sexy enough for a woman, cool enough for a man. This little 4 cylinder beauty is a moderate sports car at an affordable price. All kinds of little fun things on the inside: great shape of the wheel, excellent layout of the control panel for the...
Pros: Stylish body, eye-catching red lit consoles, bucket seats, reliable Cons: 4 cylinder engine provides poor pickup with A/C on, defroster
Let me start off by mentioning this is my very first epinions review! I was happy to see that so many people write helpful reviews on so many things, I had to throw my two cents in to help the epinions community back.
The 96 Sunfire GT is the best entry level sporty coupe that can be bought for the money. It offers head-turning style, impressive performance, and reliability. Like a typical Pontiac, styling and performance are the car's forte. It is really a car built...
Pros: Good Looking Car Cons: no room, mechanical problems?
The only thing this car has going for it is the good look. I have rode in this car and driven it and I do not care for it and would never recommend it to anyone. Trying to get into the car is like trying to fit an elephant in a cracker jack box. I...
Pros: ABS on ice and snow, THE TOP GOES DOWN! Cons: more trunk space would be great
The first time I laid eyes on my 1996 Sunfire Convertible, black on black, I knew that I had to have it (even though it was a 5-speed and I did not drive standard!) After two weeks of serious consideration, I bought the car -- that I couldn't even test...
Pros: Beautiful car, Very sporty, Joyful ride Cons: Little problems
In September of 2000 I decided to get a Pontiac Sunfire. It took me forever to find the color and the specific one I wanted. Finally after the crazy search all around I found my baby. I was a little upset over the price but I just had to get it. I...
Pros: wind through your hair, good speed, inexpensive Cons: poor handling, bad sound system
Having always wanted a convertible, I finally decided in 1996 that this car provided me an affordable way to get one. 4.5 years latter I still enjoy driving it. I've had only one repair that I've had to make in all of that time and it was under warranty....
