This year's 2003 Pontiac Sunfire has a renewed focus on
the 2-door Sporty Coupe. With more power, the Sunfire is
an agile mover that will satisfy the demands of most in
its target demographic; whether they are new families or
young people who want to cruise the strip.
However, having dropped the Sedan from its 2003 line up
the people responsible for Pontiac styling are focussing
on the latter group, the strip cruisers and performance
driven out there. The Sunfire's new look is all about sporty
style that is matched by great performance, good road control
and handling capability and a generous selection of standard
features. However, it continues to be a great and affordable
package.
Available Models
The 2003 Pontiac Sunfire is available with three different
options packages, the 1SA, 1SB and 1SC, where the 1SC is
the top of the line and includes a number of performance
upgrades.
Interior Features
The 2003 Pontiac Sunfire has a choice of either Taupe or
Graphite cloth upholstery with a sporty graphics splash
across them. Cargo space is enhanced by a split-folding
rear bench seat and interior styling has been improved from
last year with classic round air outlets on a new instrument
panel.
A 200-watt 8-speaker Monsoon sound-system is available
for either the 1SB or 1SC models and XM Satellite Radio
is also an option. XM Satellite Radio tunes in to 100 channels
coast to coast.
Exterior Features
The exterior features for the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire have
also been upgraded for this year to offer improved aerodynamics.
Other sporty or performance enhancements include a rear
spoiler, alloy wheels and optional power sunroof.
Performance
A car with this level of performance rarely has a sticker
price this low or fuel economy that is this good. The Sunfire
has a 2.2-liter 4-cyl with 140 hp. Transmission choices
include a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission,
with the automatics available for 1SB and 1SC. The 1SC features
a performance sport suspension system. This car really zooms
along and, at 23/33 mpg (city/hwy) for the automatic; you
don't have to feel guilty when you hit the gas-pedal.
Safety and Security
Dual front airbags are standard across the board for all
the Sunfire models. On the 1SA and 1SB models, the brakes
are front disc and rear power-assisted drums. However, optional
on the 1SB and standard on the 1SC are 4-wheel antilock
discs brakes. The 1SC is also equipped with traction control.
