What Owners are Saying About the 1999 Pontiac Sunfire

"Bring Back the Sunfire!!"

"I sure wish they still made this car. I bought it new and almost 20 years and 200k miles later it has never given me a problem. Even though it went through many northern winters, there is very little rust on it. Most of the parts are still original. I haven't been great over the years about regular maintenance but it hasn't seemed to matter. Gas mileage used to be great (starting to go down now. ) It is fantastic on snow and ice; I have a truck but usually just drive the car in the snow. I've taken it on long road trips. I have back problems and some small cars are really uncomfortable, especially since I am tall. But even though I have the cheap, manual seats, they are comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I wish GM would consider making this type of car again; forget the bells and whistles and bring back the reliable, inexpensive daily drivers!"

"Still comfortable and reliable"

"Have had this car for 20+ years, bought it with 30k miles and now has almost 197k. 2.4L a strong little engine w/no major problems. Had to replace convertible top - normal at 24yrs - and the AC compressor just died. Overall a dependable inexpensive FWD performer. Still waiting for it to wear out!"
