2003 Pontiac Sunfire

This year’s 2003 Pontiac Sunfire has a renewed focus on the 2-door Sporty Coupe. With additional power, the Sunfire is a flexible mover that will satisfy the demands of most in its target demographic ; whether they are new families or young people who need to cruise the strip.

However, having dropped the Sedan from its 2003 line up the people in charge of Pontiac styling are focussing on the second group, the strip cruisers and performance driven out there. The 2003 Pontiac 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 is still a great and reasonable package.

The 2003 Pontiac Sunfire is available with 3 different options packages, the 1SA, 1SB and 1SC, where the 1SC is the head of the line and encompasses a number of performance upgrades.

Changes improve for the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire. Revised front and rear styling freshens its appearance. GM’s 2.2-liter Ecotec engine offers quieter operation, improved potency, and substantially more power than last year’s base engine. Interior revisions improve convenience and comfort. Optional side airbags and the OnStar telematics system enhance safety. A retuned sports suspension offers faster responses.

In spite of updates for the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, it lacks the refinement of some of the most recent models from the competition. Its standard price looks attractive, but options will likely be needed to add desirable safety and convenience features.

Interior

The 2003 Pontiac Sunfire has a range of either Taupe or Graphite cloth upholstery with a sporty graphics splash across them. Cargo space is augmented 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 one hundred channels coast to coast.

New interior fabric helps complete 2003 Pontiac Sunfire’s sporty new look, with a bold graphics splash across either Graphite or Taupe material seats. And to extend the Pontiac brand heritage, Sunfire now includes a reworked instrument panel with round air outlets.
