Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle-car performance at a bargain price.

• Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, V8 nets sky-high insurance rates.

  2002ta - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By dickmone - April 16 - 10:00 am

  Always wanted a T/A but never had the chance until now. The performance has to be felt to be believed. That 5.7L WS6 engine just sings when you give it the gas. People dont even bother to try and cut you off when they see it on the road

  Gotta Love It - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Play With Fire - April 2 - 10:00 am

  This is a fun vehicle to drive. 200 horses is plenty to get around town...and occasionally out run some other cars. The steering is great and makes corners a blast. T Tops are a must for this car.

  The best muscle out there ... - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By John G. - December 12 - 9:10 am

  My car is actually a 2002 Trans Am Firehawk. Im in my 20s and wanted a T/A all my life; lives up to all the years of dreaming. The car corners on a dime. Acceleration is smooth and quick. Great exhaust note. The interior doesnt live up to the exterior, however. Not horrible, but youd expect more from a car that was top of the fleet for Pontiac when it was out. When Pontiac makes this car again (and they will, only a matter of time) they should improve this, along with reducing cabin noise. Trough wander is annoying at times, but thats inherent on most cars with wider wheels and tires, and only happens when driving on older, worn roads.

  Lots of Power, Less $$$ - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By TireSmoke - October 27 - 10:00 am

  There simply is no way you can touch this level of performance for this price. The F-body twins blow the Mustang out of the water when it comes to power and handling. Its a shame that GM saw fit to kill them off.

  Rest in Peace? - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By 2005/427 - August 31 - 10:00 am

  Hopefully it will be brought back as a leaner more refined machine. GM needs to look at the sales success of the Mustang and give the consumer what they want. They want fun value packaged performance cars with styling elements from the original 1967, 1968 and 1969 cars. Think of it, a Mustang shaped car with a more upright seating position with a 5.7 V-8 engine. These cars should be about balanced fun and performance. This is something Ford has figured out. Rest in peace? I hope not.

  Can you say "loose tolerances" - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By WS6er - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Fully loaded 6spd Ram Air WS6 Dissipointed. Suspension is set up for drag racing, not road racing (salivion life). Anoying "squat" when on gas or brakes (car is LOOSE). PISTON SLAP problem at cold startup and lifter noise! At startup 5-10 (hollow scrap/knock) This is your pistons cocking sidways in the cylinder bore until the pistons expand enough to narrow the tolerance. Also, the 6spd manual is a P.O.S. It shifts harshly, binds up, and you can directly from 6th to 3rd to pass someone! It also exibits gear rattle at the bottom of 1st and 2nd

  Best car ever - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By maxdeath7 - June 6 - 11:26 pm

  This is the best possible car you could ever own. The leahter interior is breathtaking and the new body kit is just the most amazing thing you could ever possibly see. The reliability is just awsome and the build quality is a guaranteed perfect 10. Oh and the performance can almost beat anything out there.

  2002 Trans Am, Ram Air, Hatchback - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Black_Bird - June 1 - 10:00 am

  I knew I wanted a sports car for my next vechile. I drove a GT Mustang and then the Trans Am (with Ram Air). The Mustang just didnt compare to the Trans Am. The Trans Am is just a pleasure to drive. I use the car as my everyday car and I look forward to getting behind the wheel and driving to work (or sitting in Washington DC traffic more apporiately).

  My awesome WS6 Trans-Am - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By chris lentz - April 25 - 7:33 am

  I had a lot fun with this car, handling is great, takes hills like nothing, great on turns, good sound system, good show car, all around it was a really good car. The t-top was also a lot of fun because it kept me cool when it was really hot out. A really good pick up chick car.
