She liked her Sunfire cuz it was:
1) affordable
2) sporty
3) good on gas
4) had a ballsy 2.2litre
5) good for haulin' the kids around town
Everyone has different personal reasons for buying whatever vehicle. People have different priorities. Family-oriented folks have different practicalities than single folks.
Putting someone down for their choice of cars they drive is superficial, shallow and based on ignorance of that person's requirements.
edit - and I forgot to add she got a sweet employee discount on both the Sunfire and Pursuits through the company she works for.

More power to you, If you're comfortable with your purchase then that's great.
I wasn't putting anyone down per ser, but when it comes down to it, price, safety, reliability, warranty, there are a lot better options for the money.
A Honda Civic for example is a great little car, affordable, reliable, safe, efficient and it hold a great resale value.
You can't really make a comparison between the sunfire and a civic. Classwise yes, but the Civic seems to do everything better.
Again, this may just be my opinion, but it's also part of the sad reason why GM is in such bad shape.
