    I had this car for awhile, and we've been through a lot. 300, 000kms on the engine, very uncomfortable to drive as the seats broke, no radio, the door chimes are shot, all dome lights/trunk lights are gone. I drove this back and forth to work every day before I bought the GPGT, just giving props to this monster. No ABS/TC either, a sensor or something went. Was a beast in the snow. Rad was bent like a crescent moon and it leaked coolant until the wife hit a van, then it stopped leaking..
    You call, we haul.

    The front bumper is secured using duct tape and black spray paint. The plastic had broken all up and to pass inspection it couldn't have any jagged edges. The engine, for what it was worth, works great. I commute an hour to and then an hour from work every shift. It's reliable, and runs on regular gasoline.. . I'm really at odds with what to do with it now, its sitting in the back of the lot just waiting for me to make up my mind..

    Fast? No way.. although I've done 220 kph down a hill with it before... scariest thing ever. I also don't get the lemon comment?

    i say jump some train tracks or a ditch with it...but when it comes to sunfire's you either get a good one or a nonstop problem one.

    looks like this one has been nice to you

    I know this will make me sound like a redneck, but enter it in a demo derby. I almost got kicked off another forum for making a similar comment about a Grand Am.
