2002 Pontiac Sunfire Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

Pontiac's Sunfire offers buyers sporty, expressive styling and performance in an affordably priced, American-built car. Its low entry price makes the Sunfire GT Coupe a good value in the competitive coupe market. The optional Ecotec engine is a better choice than the base engine.
