2002 Pontiac Sunfire from North America
Summary:
Good car when mileage is low, but not over 100,000
Faults:
I have had this car in the shop every other month for repairs. My car is overheating on the highway or when the weather is hot, and repair shops aren't fixing it!!! It's costing me too much money to keep this car in good condition, and not enough people know how to fix them.
Otherwise I've really loved the comfort and ride of the car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am 60 years old, and have been driving since I was 15. I'm here to tell ya that cars did not last forever in the good old days. Time was that cars seldom ran for over 100,000 miles, without a major rebuild. Why do you think the odometers only needed 5 digits, and rolling one over past 99,999 was a cause for celebration. You got maybe 15-17 MPG out of a six cylinder, and maybe 100 HP. Sure, it's a lot more costly to repair a car now, but when you add all the bells and whistles on that we all seem to need now, there's a lot more to go wrong. I can also remember buying gas for 29.9, and a new full size Ford for $3,000.
