This Year's Model Updates:

Entering its last year of production, the Firebird gets few changes for 2002. Power mirrors and a power antenna are now standard on all models, and Bright Silver Metallic replaces Blue-Green Chameleon on the color palette.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle-car performance at a bargain price.
Cons:
  • Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, V8 nets sky-high insurance rates.

    Out of the 5 Trans Ams Ive owned this one is the best. Previous years, 1984, 1990,1995,1998 all bought new. I plan to keep forever as it is a 3rd car.

    This is the last year this beast will ever be made. Speed over to a dealership and get one. Dont waste your hard earned money on a Mustang. I am currently leasing a 2001 Convertible. Dont drive it anymore after purchasing the Trans. This is my second and believe me, the V8 makes all the difference.

    I loved this car ever since it came out. For an 8 cylinder it gets very good gas mileage as long as you dont "floor" it. It has never broken down or left me stranded. For an American muscle car, it sounds and performs very well (0-60 in 5.2 sec). The only negative thing is that on long trips the leather seats can get hot and sweaty. Other than that, the car is the most fun ive ever had driving. Make sure when you buy this car you get a stick, thats half the fun right there....you have six gears to play with.

    I just got my black 2002 ws6 with the 6 speed manual transmission and its been nothing but pure fun. The car handles very well and for the power it makes its pretty light on gas. The stereo system is very nice, not only does it have 500 watts of power, but the sound is very clear and with no static. Turn off the traction control, slam on the gas, now your havin fun!

    This car is a blast to drive. More power than the sane mind would expect. Everyone from 5 to 85 comments on the car. This car gets 25 mpg at 80 mph in 6th gear. Last weekend I folded down the rear seat and hauled home several 4X8 sheets of plywood and 2X4s from Home Depot ... I kept it under 80 for the trip home :)

    I have owned my 2002 trans am convertible for 10 years.It is by far the best car I have ever had. Yellow collector edition,6 speed manual WS6 It runs like hell,and I have goose bumps every time I drive it. It is a fabulous muscle car that I will keep for life. I cant go anywhere without someone asking about the car."Do you want to sell it" NOOOOOOOOO!!!! I could not get more fun on the road and hope to stay out of trouble. This car is my dream car,what else can I say...

  • Just plain fun - 2002 Pontiac Firebird

    This is a Ram Air, it’s a navy blue head turner. Ive had this car for 14 months and it is always a thrill to fire it up and hit the roads. Too bad they discontinued the line but it is a car I dont think most women would enjoy owning. It is just too brutal once you’ve eaten the standard BMW’s. Out the door for less than $30,000.00 so you can’t beat that.

    I have always been a huge fan of the Firebird and while I own an older 1991 it did not deter me in any way from acquiring a (sister) for her.Not only is the handling in this little beauty as good as it could be it gets better the body style, engine and comfort FAR outweigh anything I could have imagined. .I test drove a 91 when they first came out and scared the wits out of the poor dealer at the time so now naturally I own one.I get a lot of compliments on my older one and I have to admit I do prefer my older one but for sheer horse power and comfort I have to say you people at Pontiac DONT horse around when it comes to STYLE!! Keep up the great work!!
