1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE 2.4L Specs & Features

This car is an unusual combination of base model plus bigger engine and wheels. Typically if you wanted that you would buy the GT version, but I couldn't afford it at the time. I knew I didn't want the 2.2L engine, though, so I put in my order and waited a month for my car.
