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.

  How dumb can GM get! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Cancerman - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my black 3.8l 5M Camaro some months ago and still love it. Bargain performance. Great fun to shift. 205 horsepower blows away the pitiful little more expensive imports.Love the look--sleek and sexy. Seating is adequate, although sometimes difficult to see the gauges unless the wheel is positioned correctly. Its a shame that GM cant see the value in this excellent product.

  My WS6 Rocks! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By crzyracrgrl - May 6 - 12:00 pm

  I love my WS6, it is the best car I have ever owned. I have done some under the hood work and with not a lot of money or wrench time. Its now over 450 horsepower and kills just about everything off the line. The interior is a little cheap and needs some work but the engine totally makes up for it. I have never had a serious problem with the car, and she loves the cold weather and the heat and air work better in this then in my friends BMW. Bottom line the WS6 is an amazing machine and not to mention she looks like a beast in someones rear view mirror!

  last of the great one - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Keith Feemster - April 30 - 11:36 am

  This car puts a smile on my face everytime i step into my garage how all the body lines go together from front to back. Performance far better then the mustang. How the car handles it self when going through corners and when you go straight and mash down on it picking up speed in no time.

  Could be great with some improvements - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By ajax - March 30 - 10:00 am

  The pontiac 2002 Firebird TransAM coupe has the looks that make you just want to stare at it when you see one. I suspect the Ram Air would put most sports car lovers over the top with envy. There are some negatives that come with the acolades. Three issues in particular are the way the car idles when standing still with the car in drive and foot on the break.( shaky ). The second problem is the Rotors warp frequently. Suspect bad manufactured pads cause extream heat friction that cause the warpage. The third item is the Head lights make alot of noise when closing them. ( Bang! ) Otherwise a great car looking car with excellent speed when you need it most.

  2002 Trans Am/Sunset Orange Metallic - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Joes2002TA - February 21 - 10:00 am

  This Is Pontiacs most exciting vehicle of all time.It has so much performance that it is a big disapointment that it will be discontinued this year.The only area that this vehicle does not excell in would be the fuel economy department.I guess that if you can afford one of these dream cars, you really dony worry about how far it will travel on a tankfull of gas.

  What A Disappointment - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Caligirl - December 22 - 6:36 pm

  I bought this car in 2002 straight off the lot. I loved this sport, affordable car. It was fine for the first 6 year with only 60k miles on it. Then, things changed. Both window motors burned-out costing $350 a piece. Then the fuel pump, $1000. Finally, it was the use of mid-level oil filters rather than a AC Delco oil filter, that caused berrings and crank-shift damage. Never again!

  nice car - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By cama97 - November 22 - 10:00 am

  It is the best car to drive. fuel economy is great when you consider the power it puts out. it is very comfortable for 2 passengers and the t- tops are great, you essentially get a convertable without convertable problems. The price was great when you think of what you can get in that size for that price. A vw bettle?

  enjoy ride, sporty looks, and having the T-tops for cool evening after dinner drives. The monsoon equalized hi-fi and CD system works great and I use it with XM radio.

  RAM AIR - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Drum Dawg - January 6 - 8:33 pm

  I am a car guy who has owned over 30 different cars over the last 20 years. All I can say is WOW! This WS6 TA rules the road. I cant believe Pontiac screwed up the marketing so bad. This is an awesome ride. It is blistering fast and can hold four people. It is the closest thing to flying a jet fighter and can still get 26 MPG. I cant praise its handling enough. Mine ran a 13.10 and it is totally stock and I had never raced before. Pontaic under rated the horse power for sure!
