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.
