2003 Pontiac Sunfire consumer reviews

I bought this car for $2000 in 2022 and it has performed like a new car. It burns no oil between changes, everything works, the interior has no issues and no tears or rips. The exterior has some rust bottom of gas cap. Put new tires and fuel pump but at my age getting hard to get into. Hate to get rid of it but time for maybe a SUV.

Well it's 2023 and I still have my 20 year old 2003. Everyone in the family calls it Bluey and when this thing is polished up it still has a beautiful blue mirror shine on it. Always get a thumbs up and always asked if I want to sell it. 110,000 miles .Best every day car I ever owned. This car has only broken down on me 1 time in 12 years where I had to take it to a shop and replace transmission shifting link. It was made of plastic, 125 bucks. Thats it.

Was a really good car just want something a little nicer and faster really looking for a Mazda so if you have a trade offer let me know.

I loved my Sunfire, it was fun to drive,reliable, good on gas, sporty styling, and a beautiful shade of blue. Shortly after buying this car Pontiac went under, so this was my first and last new Pontiac. Unfortunately age and climate took it's toll and had to put the Sunfire into retirement

I just hit 250k miles on my car last week and it is still running great. I?ve only had to replace the alternator on it in the 10 years I?ve owned it and replace the shifter link). It?s survived the 4 accidents (never at fault), Atlanta?s commute and traffic and is always reliable. I absolutely love my car and will keep driving it even though I can afford a new one. I can?t wait until I hit 300k.

This car is cheap and lasts a long time. My car has 205k miles on it and still works. It has its ups and downs, but what car doesn't when it gets to that many miles? It is fairly cheap to repair any of the damaged parts, and it is a smooth riding car.

My 2003 Pontiac Sunfire was by the far the funnest car I've ever owned. It was my first car right when I turned 16 I purchased it. And I had it for 8 years. It was a little rocket and handled amazingly. The interior was pretty cramped (it was a two door) but definitely will probably be my favorite car of all time. Now I drive a Honda Accord and it just doesn't have the spunk as the Sunfire did.

This is a great dependable little car if your looking for something to get you back and forth to work and getting from point A to point B. I bought mine used, it has the 5 speed manual transmission and it's been very dependable, good performance and great gas mileage. I've always been a big pickup truck type of fella, but I have to admit this little car is fun to drive....it's like driving a glorified go-cart around town and the great gas mileage is very nice too. The only negative thing I can say about this car is; it's not very roomy inside and I do feel a bit smothered, but then again I'm used to driving big roomy pickup trucks and don't never plan on taking this car on long road trip either.

I bought this car used at 93K miles. It was a great car to learn stick shift on, i.e. it was cheap enough that I wasn't TOO worried about messing things up. Then the troubles started. First, the right light sagged. Then there was an electrical issue where the horn didn't work. Then the slave cylinder gave out (which would have cost about as much as I paid for the car had some friends and I not repaired it ourselves). Then the ignition cap. Then the catalytic converter. Then the O2 sensor. All within a year and a half of owning the vehicle. Finally, the frame rusted through and I had to say goodbye to the short-lived steed. It lasted about 1.5 years and 6,000 miles.

A great little car that does just what its suppose to do and that is to get from point a to point b and use as little of gas as possible. Had the 2005 and sold it to my daughter. Seating in this car is much more comfortable as the seats are much more padded. (giving up about 2 inches to the wheel because of the padding. Drives perfect as did my 2005. If you have 80k you might consider changing out the struts. You'll be glad you did. my 2003 also has abs,traction control,and a moonroof.Also, if you've got a little extra cash i would advise bigger tires. 205-55r or 60r 15's for the front and 215's for the back. Handles a whole lot better when you get this done as well. Will i buy another one. maybe not because when I'm done with this one their probably wont be another one out there with less than 50k.
