'97 Sunfire GT with 152k miles

Sep 07, 2005 2 Replies

Hi Group, I'd like opinions on the above mentioned car. I'm thinking about purchasing one as a gas saver for driving to work, which is approximately 25 miles each way.



I've never owned a Pontiac and don't know anything about them. How is this little car for reliability? The one I'm looking at is a 2.4L with a 5 speed. Sure looks cute and drives zippy. Everything feels tight and smooth, like it should, but if this is a model with a history of having problems, please let me know what to look for.



Thanks for any input.

See if you can get service records... By now it should have had a clutch and water pump put in... both are a little pricey to have fixed. I also have the 2.4 with a 5 speed and get 30 to 33 mpg religiously. I know the car has gotten a bad rap but mine has been golden.
