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.

    Man, I hate to see these cars go. 30mpg on the hwy and 312.5rwhp and 338rtq under your right foot. Those are bone stock rear wheel numbers. No wonder these cars propel you through the quarter in mid to low 13s with ease all the while let you park yourself in a nice power leather seat with the a/c on, cds jammin ttops off etc etc etc. Hell, the car is even great in the twisties. BTW, Imn ot a small guy by any means, 62, 285 and fit in her fine. People may not apreciate these cars now ,but they will in the future. I could not ask for more in an automibile. Its a 25k slap in the face to cars priced 3 times as much

    This car is absolutely amazing, having test driven a comaro z28, and a mustang cobra, this car absolutely demolished the competition. This beautiful car is a must for any performance lover.

  • I love my WS6 vert! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I was very happy got a great deal on my car. Its a true performance bargain and so much fun to drive. Turns heads wherever I go and gets over 30mpg in 6th gear on the highway - a nice feature these days! Cruising around with the top down this summer was awesome. Its the best car Ive ever bought. I much prefer the instant torque of the LS1 to any turbocharged import. The car is easy to work on and upgrade, if desired. Im happy with mine as it is but I did upgrade the stereo. The one in the vert is rather puny compared to the coupes. Then again, who needs a stereo when the car sounds this good. American muscle at its finest. Highly recommended but dont forget that radar detector!

    Very fun car to drive. I bought a black 2002 WS6 Trans Am with the Hurst 6 spd shifter. I thoroughly enjoy driving this car.

  • Talk about a Muscle Car - 2002 Pontiac Firebird

    With all the kids in college it was time to get rid of the minivan. We always wanted a vet but could never see spending all that cash. Never was a Ford man, so the Mustang wasnt an option. Then saw the Ram Air hood and that sold us. Looks were the biggest thing, the fact that it was fast, had the same engine as the vet and was about $20k less, sealed the deal. The last of a dying breed, but we love it. If we have to take somebody with us, they can squeeze in the back, too.

    Always wanted it, finally got it. 2002 Conv, only V6, but still love her. Cant find a better looking car under 100000 if you ask me. Fun to drive, and with spring coming, looking forward to the top down and driving for days.

  • Trans Am goes out with a blast - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    We love our Trans Am. It is a blast to drive. The control and power are fabulous. It is comfortable for short or long trips with the seats giving good support. For a car with this much power the economy is very good.
