Hello Everyone! From what I can gather from the comments posted regarding J body cars, I must have been the only satisfied customer. I bought a brand new 1995 Pontiac Sunfire, 2-door 5-speed in May 95 and as of this year, May 2010 finally retired it. I paid $13,000 for it on the road. It had the old cast iron block 2.2 litre engine, I swear that engine was tough as nails. It didn't sound like a high performing engine but, Hey! I needed a car it was the right price and my wife and I loved it's looks. I never really planned to keep it all those years, but it was; dare I say, realiable! and dependable! I drove the car to Ontario and back 3 times without problems. Didn't matter what the tempature was it always started and got me to where ever I needed to go, okay it never didn't warm up very fast. However, it did need a head gasket replaced at year 3, about 90,000kms and that was the only major issue until the last 2 years of operations; the slave cylinder went. I did regular maintenance; ie religiously changed oil and oil filter every 5,000kms and at the 150, 000km mark a put a litre of dura-lube in, and replaced filters and such as required. I got 375,000 kms of dependable safe driving out of it! I took care of the body (had it painted once). Well, I actually miss that ride, I got descent gas milage as well approx 600kms to a tank. If anyone else out there has a similar story I'd be glad to hear.
