Great little car for daily driver
NONE.
We like the car. Ours is a 4 door. roomy and comfortable.
This is our second sun fire we had a 1999 2 door before. we sold it with 185,000 KMS. The last one was pretty good too us. We are planning to drive to Florida in 2004.

This car is my life
The only things that were wrong with the car were a loose bearing on one of the rear tires, loose exhaust pipe, and occasional flats. Don't worry, it's only because I put my car through a lot. I'm shocked it's still in its good shape.
The car has a fast take-off.
Comfortable reclining seats.
The car cuts off at 107.

Excellence in a small package
I have had no problems with this car.
I have had one recall, but the dealer handled that for me.
This car gains speed quickly and handles great!
The interior room is perfect for two people or couples with small children.
Not comfortable for four adults.
I bought this car with the safety of a future family.

This car has a lot of bang for your buck
Nothing at all.
This car is amazingly quick for being an economy car! It handles great, and it's comfortable.

Not worth it
In my first six months of ownership, I have had the following problems.
Three burnt out turn signal bulbs.
Exterior molding falling off.
Keyless entry not working.
Clicky/Pingy Engine Noise.
Programmed radio stations switch where programmed by itself. (i.e. 102.1 is program "5" but switches to "6")
Sqeaky Brakes.
Grinding Brakes.
Car pulls right very badly.
This car is more of a hassle than my 1987 Ford Escort that had 118,000 miles on it.

Sorry to tell you, but most of these problems are your fault, for one you probably drove over a curve or something similar and a) put the vehicle out of alignment or b) bent the frame! Were you in an accident? The radio issue was probably because you are too rough with the radio button and might`ve broken something wiring switch etc...! The key less entry might have a dead battery or it may need to be reprogrammed if it was dropped or left in the cold! Thanks for your time!
First of all its the FIRST YEAR this model was made... its going to have problems and recalls are prone to ANY first model car.
Get an alignment done! it could be simple so simple to you running into a curb which was already mentioned or an accident.
Check the lower control arm bushing on the passengers side for the pulling, mine went and I didn't hit anything. as for the engine noise, oil change with some Lucas into it might cure it. signal bulbs, check wiring.

We are a family of Three, so my wife and I take the front, and my three year old has the back seat. However I would not want to try and get two car seats in it. Also when my son gets in his seat, he gets his feet all over the back of the seat. Living in Canada, he gets snow all over the seat. I bought seat covers to solve that problem. Cheap fix from wal-mart. Great car other than that. Handles well in the snow.
