how long does engine last

mine is at almost 145000 and it still funs like a champ!!!

my truck was at 360k... then a did a rebuild now its at 410ish, runs like new... my gfs van is at 315k all originial

My Sunfire has over 170k miles on it, original engine.

good maintenance should get it to 300k.

I'm just about to 260,000 miles. I drive 1,000 miles/week. Great car.

my 02 sunfire has 160,000 My brother had a 2000 sunfire it had 245,000 before it became a total loss accident from drunk driver.

i work on cars ever day .how long have u had the vehicle . what are your miles do u have on it right now mine had 5.8901 miles on it

It's all according to the type of motor in your sunfire i believe. The 2.4 quad 4 was never a good motor for many kms, there were at least two different 2.2 litre engines before they even came out with the ecotech in 2002, which didn't prove as good as the old 120hp 2.2.

so does that mean theres something wrong with the ecotech? Im thinking about buying a 2002 sunfire with an ecotech. It has 198000 miles.

i have 473,299 miles on a 96 Chevy Cavaleir with a Sunfire 2.2L engine, i keep the oil changed regularly, plugs and wires every year with plug gap checks every 4 months, never let the gas get below a quarter tank and this thing runs down Caddilacs on the interstate

I have the 2005 Sunfire base model with 241K miles on it. Only have replaced the clutch and alternator and fuel pump. If you care for the car, with basic maintenance they are tough as hell. I've hit a deer and drove off fine with just a fender bent. I also smashed my hand print into the back trunk lid a few months ago trying to close it in frustration.

A 6 year old thread.....Just saying.

I have a 2005 Pontiac Sun fire with 380,000 km. I believe it is all about the maintenance.

Oh I have 2004 Pontiac.just amazing.it fixed on its own everything works almost 180,000 miles and drives perfect.was shaking and rolling back. But now it gets me home every time. The heat works.ill have to say these cars are the best I driven out of the for cars I have

Oh my gosh I love my Pontiac.i wouldn't recommend any used car but a Pontiac.just make sure you check it out before you buy it and go to grease monkey for cheap oil change they really will fix your car 90%off I love them

I would say it's 1 step above a Ferrari

I payed mechanic $100 to do a plug wich didn't work then I just made magic kissed and called my car babe and now it works haha.ah to all you expensive mechanics I'm going to fix this car my self or go to grease monkey to fix my car I'm not paying you 2,000

My 2005 sunfire has over 320,000 miles and still runs strong! These car will last forever if properly maintained.

I had mine hauled off at 300,400 miles after getting another car. It needed a new timing chain kit, clutch, and cv axles were going bad again. Not worth fixing and didn't have the time.

Sadly at 385000, I had to junk my 2005 Sunfire because of the shape the body was in and it needed a headgasket. I did not feel it was worth repairing.

It's 2018 (ALMOST) and I have a 2000 Sunfire. 72,000 miles on it. I keep it maintained and minor repairs so far. Although check engine light is on and they can't figure out why.

2018 new alt,starter,bat.wheel bearings, tie rods. stabilzlerbar,tires , tons of oil changes . no start stopped when driving. probably needs censor or fuel censor not sure. 265359 miles and 14years old not sure what to do with it but everyone says dont sinkmoremoney into it.

I have a 1995 Sunfire with 235,000 miles on it. I change the oil and filter every 3,000 mikes and use premium gadoline Exxon Mobil that contains eaning agrnts. Engine light comes on sometimes. Could be oxygen sensors. Best car ever.

And I was trying to decide if I should get the struts and shocks replaced. My 2005 Sunfire has a measly $165,000k on it so thanks for all the good words about this car. I am spending the money and keeping it.

I have a 2000 sunfire coupe base model 145k miles. The ac and radio doesn't work and rear bulbs keep burning out. Recently the gas sensor was replaced. I had also had the belt replace at some point. Engine seems ok but more and more the engine is starting to make funny noises. Also if I floor it the engine will jerk when gear shifts. I'm thinking of trading it in for 2015 hyundai elantra gt but I think this baby can make it to 200k. It still gets me from point a to b.

I had a 1996 Sunfire (bought new) that lasted for 14 years and 225,000 miles until it died in an intersection.

i have a 2001 sunfire. never had any issues with regular maintenance( i.e oil changes brakes etc) and im at 240000 ish miles. still runs like the day i bought it ( 147000 miles)

I have a 98 sunfire with 521,000 km on it...still original with only regular maintenance....still works great 2.2 5 speed manual
