I've owned 2 Pontiac Sunfires. One was a 4 door Pontiac Sunfire 2000 and it died on me after only it started to work on 2 cylinders and it reached the 431000 mark before it died.
I now have a few cars but I use my 2003 Pontiac Sunfire (4 door) for local driving now and it is past the 450,000 mark. On both of my sunfires i've just maintained them well and have had no major problems with them. The biggest expenditure i've had was changing the sparks every few 100000+km on them. Just normal costs like oil changes/mufflers/transmission fluid etc. Normal wear and tear.
I think this 2003 Sunfire will probably be able to reach the 500,000 mark. It still starts up fine and is fully drivable no problems with it.
I've considered the Sunfire to be considered a cheap cost effective 'lemon' vehicle. In that sense that its basic and normal. And its lemon in the sense that its not a razzle dazzle kind of a car. But its a perfect to work to everywhere kind of car that does the basic essence of what a car should do. Low gas consumption, great ride and low maintenance. Whats not to like!!
