2003 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L from North America
Summary:
Great Fun Reliable Car
Faults:
Nothing that hasn't been covered under warranty except front brakes last October at 55000 Km.
Things that have been covered under warranty: replaced tail light, driver's side mirror, repaired trunk release, repaired skip in the radio.
Never a problem with the engine or transmission. Always starts even in Ottawa's (-40C) winters.
General Comments:
This has been a fantastic, fun to drive, little car.
With the 5 speed, this 140 Horse puppy likes the open road. And it's great in the city too; it sure is easy to park.
It's great on gas... I'm getting over 30 mpg.
It's small enough that I can wash and wax it in a couple of hours, yet roomy enough that the family (wife and 2 children) drove to Florida and back. OK, OK, that was a bit cramped especially with all the suitcases.
Love the dash layout... everything is easy to see. And the orange is pretty kewl at night.
Overall, I love the car. Hope to be enjoying it for the next 10 years. For any one looking for a small fun car, it's the best value on the road.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have had numerous problems with 2003 sunfire. I was told this was related to wiring harness corrosion. I was further told that it is chronic and will return due to the design.
I will dump the car, as I cannot be in another town with no headlights to get home at night.
