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.

Still the best bang for the buck - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By X-Caliber - March 13 - 2:00 amAmazing acceleration from the 345hp/350lb-ft LS1 engine lets the V8 equipped Firebirds (and Camaros) solidly take top honors for factory performance for the money. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds in the slowest form for mid $20k is unbelievable. Interior and exterior design is amazing, with the only commonly voiced complaint being that the doors are to long and heavy. Build quality is typical domestic fare, with plenty of plastic bits and cheap looks - But everything fits tight and is easy to reach/operate from the drivers seat.

Dream Car - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By DSworo9 - January 29 - 2:00 amGot this car back in March and wish I had got it sooner. I absolutely love this car! SOM, LS1 power of 300+ HP, 6speed, the works. It has just about everything youd want for a muscle car w/ room for improvement.

ram air fun - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By Linda Dalton - January 25 - 2:00 amI really love this car! It is the most fun to drive automobile I have ever had the pleasure. I am the daughter of a car salesman and have had many cars but this is by far the best! Only problem Ive had is the front headlight has had to be adjusted twice.

GMs Huge Mistake - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By GoBlue18 - January 11 - 2:00 amThis car is the performance bargain of a lifetime. A car that out performs cars costing twice as much, along with its menacing head-turning looks, how can you go wrong? Anyone who has the means and the opportunity to own this car would be doing themselves a huge favor to check it out. Once you drive it youll understand. Why anyone would choose the uglier, boxy, slower Mustang is beyond me. GMs decision to end the Firebird/Camaro is a true shame. Pontiac is left with nothing but boring cars with body cladding.

I got a lemon!!! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By jmd - October 6 - 1:23 amI purchased my car new and have had problems since the third month of ownership. Battery was leaking acid after a few months of ownership. Continuous electrical issues; I had the engine compartment fuel box replaced, Im always replacing fuses. Calalytic converter has been replaced after few months of ownership...is broken again. Was getting 19/29m/p/g now gets 8 m/p/g. Engine noises, nocking noises, fuel intake issues; the interior door panel split. Poor support from Pontiac/GM. I have a stack of services/repair invoices over an inch thick. Its sad because it was my dream car.

Collectors Edition TransAm - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By TransAm1 - September 6 - 2:00 amI bought my Pontiac Collectors Edition TransAm in April 2002. This car is a real head-turner. The performance, and comfort is good. The aerodynamic styling, yellow exterior, and black stripes is what makes it attractive. The engine sounds clean, and the car handles very good. It is reliable and always fun to drive. I have never had a problem with it.

Last of a Breed - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By Jim43 - June 15 - 10:00 amI ordered my 2002 TransAm in April, the last month orders were accepted. It replaced a 2000 TransAm. T-top, WS6 handeling and performance package ... this car cant be beat for performance vs price. Im really sorry Pontiac discontinued the Firebird/TransAm.
