The 2004 Pontiac Sunfire for buyers
No 2004 Pontiac Sunfire is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the Sunfire
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 2.2L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.
The combined figure, 8.7 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 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.
Practical details
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the Sunfire makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Sunfire on your commute before you commit to it. If the Sunfire is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
