The car has been reliable. Very few major mechanical problems. The engine still sounds good as I approach 140,000 miles. The air conditioning is also still working well. One annoying thing is that the battery has those side terminals which make it extremely difficult to jump start or to jump start someone else. The interior is durable and easy to clean which is a bonus for anyone else that eats in their car. The backseat is a nice size and can easily accommodate multiple passengers.

The beautiful red Pontiac Sunfire...On the outside. Once you get inside it feels like you are sitting on the ground, it is so low. There are bucket seats an don't even try to climb into the back seat. It has 2 doors only. I do like that the back seat opens into the trunk, I sometimes use it to transport large pieces of furniture. It is loud. I was told that by a mechanic. I thought something was wrong with it but he said it was just something with this model.

I have owned several cars, but my absolute favorite is my Pontiac Sunfire (I even own a 2015 vehicle and would sell it before this car). It's very reliable, and if taken care of well (regular oil changes and maintenance) it will run for a long time. The only problems I have had with this car are worn hoses. I have had to replace two hoses which were rubbing against sharp object. One of the hoses was for a hydraulic clutch line, so that one left me stranded. Other than that I have never had a breakdown nor any major repairs. I would recommend this car (now they are only available pre-owned) as a commuter car or for a teenager's first car. They are easy to find, inexpensive, and very reliable, plus they get decent gas mileage.
