2001 Pontiac Sunfire SE 2.2L from North America
Summary:
Piece of junk
Faults:
I must say this has got to be the worst car I have ever owned. I have had numerous mechanical problems with the cooling system. The thermostat has gone bad three times I had to replace cracked head gasket. Radiator cracked. I will never buy an American car again this is the second American car I had and the first car was worst then this one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

UPDATE ON CAR:
Still Nothing wrong with car, however Mr. Lube almost destroyed my engine. First off they put in the wrong oil and while I was traveling over the Port Mann Bridge (Vancouver, BC) the engine was starting to act weird so I coasted over to a mechanics shop and they said all the oil came out of the car, so they put the right oil in, that cost me money as well. Then the next day it was doing the same thing, so I went back there and they said that it did the same thing and as it turns out that Mr. Lube put in the wrong oil filter which caused all the oil to come out. Thank god I didn't have to get a new engine, so they mechanic put in the right one and it was all better. I went back to Mr. Lube and told them what happened and how mad I was and demanded that they reimburse me for their service and pay for the mechanic that I went to. They refused and when I threatened to take them to court the person went to the manager and the manager said that they would send me a cheque in the mail. Well after 3 months of nagging I finally got the money. I was not pleased, do not ever take your car to get repaired at Mr. Lube, they don't know how to work on cars and I found that they overcharge for their service, I did a comparison of different service places when I was taking it for my next oil change. I hope that no other person goes through what I went through. The car has around 54,000 Kms )(33,750 Mi) on it and it's still running wonderfully.
