In the case of the 1996 Sunfire, the answer is yes. Introduced in 1995, it replaced the aged Sunbird. The Sunfire line has significant new features for the 1996 model year that improve its performance and value. Outside, the 1996 Sunfire is little changed from the 1995 model. The big improvements are where they should be for performance - under the hood.
All cars so equipped have an enhanced traction control system.
The 1996 Sunfire is sold in sedan, coupe, and convertible form. The SE trim level is standard. In addition, the a performance- oriented GT coupe is available. I recently spent a busy week with an SE sedan with the Twin Cam engine and 4-speed automatic. It was an enjoyable, economical car that combined practicality with fun and flair.
