1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE 2.4 Liter from North America
Summary:
Great Car
Faults:
The only things that have been replaced in the 8 years that I have driven it have been:
The water pump at about 50k.
I had the struts, strut tower, strut plates, and strut mount replaced at around 80k because of a thumping noise coming from the back.
The only complaints I have is the clear coat is has been coming off for a year now, some of the plastic inside around the gear shifter and door handle is coming loose and I can't start it and go in cold weather. It HAS to be warmed up for at least 10 minutes or it will die.
General Comments:
This is been an extremely reliable car the past 8 years. It has never left me stranded and its very peppy and still fun to drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Tomorrow I say goodbye to my 1996 Sunfire. It turned 16 last month. What a great car it has been.
Very reliable, comfortable and fun to drive.
With winter tires, it moved through the snow like an AWD.
Yes... I am getting another Pontiac. I only hope it lives up to the reputation of my Sunfire.
RIP Sunfire.
