The 2002 Pontiac Sunfire: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 82 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, service brakes and engine and engine cooling. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
Its 2.2L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 9.6 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $44.64 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Sunfire
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the Sunfire on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.88 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $148.80 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
