Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Peppy engine, Loads of standard equipment, Bold styling, price.
Cons: Options can get expensive.
The Bottom Line: A car with style, grace, and strong outright performance, this car is a must for an enthusiast with a small pocket book.

While the 1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 has the same drivetrain as the Pontiac Sunfire GT, you can undoubtedly tell the difference in quality. The Cavalier seems much more cheap on the inside, the Sunfire also has much bolder styling to boot. The Sunfire...

Pros: great economical car

I bought a new 1998 Sunfire, because I had a 1989 Sunbrd for almost 10 years. It was the most reliable car I've ever owned. For most of it's life, it was very low maintaince. I loved the way it handled. It was sporty, without the sports car insurance...

Pros: Stylish.
Cons: A Razor scooter is more solid.

I've been driving a 1991 Plymouth Sundance for far too long, so I'm actively shopping for a new car. Now, I have to say I'm bitterly cheap so I'm looking at economy cars, 1 to 3 years old. I couldn't let the opportunity to look a Sunfire over pass me...

Pros: spacious, gas efficient, sporty

Pros: Gas mileage, dependability
Cons: no style, over bought

I bought my 1998 Sunfire when it first came out thinking I was the coolest guy on the block with my brand new car. It turns out that this car has kept me from getting a lot of dates during the past three years. Since it was so cheap, alot of people...

Pros: Everything, only time my Sunfire is at the shop is for an oil change, or scheduled maintenance.

Pros: fast, cool looking, and inexpensive
Cons: donut spare tire and plastic covers

I own a 1998 Medium Blue-Green Metallic Pontiac Sunfire GT. It caught my eye because it is a small, fast car that is inexpensive. Everytime I drive my car I appreciate it more and more.
