The 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, a compact coupe, was the final model year of this popular model. It carried on the legacy of the Sunfire nameplate, which first appeared in 1995, offering a blend of sporty styling, affordability, and practicality. The Sunfire was available in both coupe and convertible body styles, catering to a diverse range of buyers. Under the hood, the 2002 Sunfire was powered by a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, producing 140 horsepower. This engine was coupled with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Sunfire was known for its nimble handling and responsive acceleration, thanks to its lightweight construction and well-tuned suspension. Despite its compact size, the Sunfire provided comfortable seating for four passengers and decent cargo space.

The 2002 Pontiac Sunfire was equipped with a range of standard features, including power windows, power locks, and air conditioning. Higher trim levels offered features like a sunroof, leather seats, and a premium sound system. The Sunfire was also available with a variety of optional safety features, including anti-lock brakes and side airbags. While the 2002 Sunfire was a reliable and affordable car, it was also known for its fuel efficiency.
