I knew it was getting time to replace my well loved 94 Cadillac Deville Concours with 200K on it. (270hp N*)
I've owned Grand Am's and a Sunfire in the past and they were decent reliable cars.
The 98 Sunfire 5sp. was excellent in the winter as well. Best $550 I ever spent on a car that lasted me 4 years, then sold it for $8i00
Working with a small limited budget, after searching for months, I found a clean 03 GP GT from the 2nd owner for a decent price.
Needed enough leg room in the back for my 13 yo. daughter that's already 5'4".
It looks and runs great. Rides/handles much better now but the damn road noise compared to that smooth old Caddy sure is annoying.
It makes a great daily driver for me for the 58 mile round trip to work and back. Getting about 24 mpg now.
