1997 Pontiac Sunfire GT 2.4 from North America
Summary:
This car is easy to take care of and has provided me with years of service
Faults:
I had the rear rebuilt after a collision with a drunk driver, however there haven't been any problems with the rear save for the paint coming off in some minor areas.
I had to get the crank shaft sensor replaced, this was causing the car to stall in traffic.
I had to get the water pump replaced at 185k.
General Comments:
I like the driver's seat in this car. Everything is rather close to the driver for interaction and the lumbar support is certainly nice to have.
The car is rather quick for being an economy type car, the ride is rather smooth even at high speeds.
I have trailered a SeaDoo with this car with 0 problems at all, however you should be using a lo-rider trailer to see out the rear.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I'm sorry to hear about your accident. if there was a recal on the part, then it is indeed general motors' fault for not replacing it if you went to them. But, don't judge the appearance of the car after the impact on how it stands the crash. cars are designed to crumple on impact. It absorbs shock. that's what saved your life. don't be so quick to judge.
