2002 Pontiac Sunfire Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire generally find it to be a reliable and fun car that gets good gas mileage. Many appreciate its sporty look and decent performance for daily driving, but several drivers mention a lack of power and a few reliability issues over time. While some drivers enjoy its handling and sporty features, others are deterred by its limitations in heating for winter and concerns about interior quality."
The Sunfire is cheap to own, nothing more. The 5 spd was nice, although still pretty sluggish. The ABS brakes suck, and it had lots of clunks and rattles in the suspension, but with 250,000km who really cares? I sure didn't. It was a great car I got for a cheap price that served me very well, was fun to drive as it was a 5 speed. Car was exceptionally great on fuel.
July 17, 2009This car is Fast! The manual transmission allows you to catch that yellow light, throw it into a lower gear and get ahead, or just plain tear out of a stop light. The Stereo is amazing too, top of the line sound equipment and equalizers bring tranquil notes to the music guru, or if you just like to jam its loud! The visual appeal sneak's anybody's attention between the added LED lights and the cleanliness of the car.
May 9, 2012the car runs really good, it's a 02 in good shape I like it but I wouldn't drive it in the winter, it has hardly any heat in it when it drops down to -20 ..... I need heat in the winter....

September 8, 2009A very solid vehicle with the base 2.2L and standard shift. Not much power (115 hp), but certainly better than my previous 55hp Geo Metro.
May 20, 2008I loved this car!!! This car was my baby! It had nice pick up and nice speed, but not a whole lot of power. Didn't cost much to drive. FUN AS HECK TO DRIVE! good running car. i recommend it!
April 2, 2010It is a fun car to drive it's easy on gas and and it looks so much better then most cars in the same price range and being a 5 speed it gives the car decent acceleration. Plus the car just rocks.
December 24, 2009Yep I love my Pontiac Sunfire, Performance wise has been a great reliable car for traveling and gets great gas mileage. I like the somewhat sporty look and it has spunk when in need. All in all plan to add some new accessories and keep her in tip top condition.
October 21, 2009This car sucks. Replaced the whole suspension already passenger side ball joint replaced twice already within 150,000km. Drivers side bearing catastrophic failure at around 130,000km. Who engineers these cars anyways? They obviously didn't have long term owners in mind. Built in defects and failure points if you ask me.
October 17, 2010Gets you to your destination. Reliable car for commuting
April 13, 2008I am overall happy with this car! Good cheap sports car
