Thinking of buying the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire?
No 2004 Pontiac Sunfire is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 32 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and engine. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
It is powered by the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 8.7 L/100 km works out to about 26 litres per 300 km. Expect about $13.49 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Sunfire suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Size and space
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sunfire answers the big questions. A test week in the Sunfire tells you more than any review. A week with the Sunfire answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel.
