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.

  Couldnt be happier! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Shena02 - January 3 - 2:00 am

  I have a 99 Firebird and am exremely pleased with it. I love the body style and detail of the car, also the interior design. It runs smooth and turns heads everywhere I go! After driving this car I couldnt picture myself in any other type of car. I plan on upgrading to a 2002 soon.

  Trans Am - Best F-Body Ever Made! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By zoomer2k2 - December 30 - 3:46 pm

  I love my 2002 WS.6 Trans Am. I am a previous owner of a 1989 Trans Am GTA and loved that one too. The 2002 is even better though. In a world full of me-too cars like the Mustang and cars that all look like they came from the same mold, the Trans Am stood out as being different, bold, and aggressive, more than even its own sibbling the Camaro. Every magazine always pits Mustang vs. Camaro when it talks about muscle cars but thats just PR work. It was the Trans Am that made muscle cars. think screaming chicken, smokey & the Bandit, or Knight Rider. GM did nothing to help the Fbody compete, they died not from abandonment by consumbers but by neglect from their parent, thanks GM

  FANTASTIC!! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By BPLatta - October 28 - 1:26 pm

  WS-6, Trans am 2 door coupe artic white, 6 speed manual tranny. Great car, fun to drive, very powerful, lightning fast, great sound system, great gas mileage (28 MPG on a 600 mile round trip). Too bad GM stopped building these. This car will blow just about anything off the road. The car turns heads ( young and old )with its great looks everywhere I go. Its one of the sharpest cars on the road and the SLP exhaust system sounds great. The car sounds so good that I really dont listen to the radio much. I enjoy the sound of the engine. She purrs like a kitten when idleing or driving at road speed but she roars like a lion when you wind her up. I love this car with no plans to trade or sell.

  2002 Ram Air, Hurst Manual 6 - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By JWats - October 28 - 10:00 am

  This, simply put, is the best performance car in the 30-50k range. The only thing that could possibly be better than this is a Vette Z06. Its completely reliable, unless you think you dont have to change the oil or air up the tires. The only problem with this car is that stupid press people (i.e. Edmunds.com, Motortrend) seem to have forgotten that a car should have the goods, and not the hype. If youre ready for the real deal, a sports car that can blow the doors of any Japanese import or Ford product, then step right up. Posers may take Mustangs and Celicas.

  Love it!!! My first v8 sports car with rear drive. Every other vehicle was 4 banger turbo of some kind.

  Dont miss out - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By stever - September 10 - 10:00 am

  As they have been discontinued and may be hard to find, dont miss out on the last of GMs pony cars. As nice as the next gen. GTO seems, it still lacks the Trans Ams styling big time.

  2002 TA - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Pasetbo - August 4 - 2:00 am

  There is no car around that delivers anywhere near the performance per dollar as the Trans Am. Doesnt have quite the "status" symbol appeal of some other cars, but if your goal is pure performance, this car cant be beat. Its nice to pull up to a stop light next to sports cars that cost twice as much, only to see them disappearing in your rear view mirror after the light turns green.

  1 word "FANTASTIC" - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By natedavis - July 11 - 9:06 am

  I bought this 02 Base model (4spd automatic) Firebird with 87k miles on it and you would have sworn it was new. Even though its just a V6, this thing still has a lot of power (205HP) stock and handles amazingly on the road at any speed. Hugs the road like no ones business. Sounds great. Super comfortable and very durable interior. Great looking exterior! Only thing Ive had to do to it was replace the fuel pump at 92k, other than that its been great! I paid $4,200 for this car, but after driving it, I would GLADLY pay double that for another one! All I can say is I found the car that no matter what else I own, will always be in my driveway!

  Beautiful performance - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By louisky123 - May 10 - 10:00 am

  Have a 99 V6-5M which has been great and just bought a 02 V6-5M to keep for eternity since GM has lost its mind and decided to stop making them. What a bargain price for this well equipped vehicle. Big, powerful V6, smooth- shifting 5 speed, 4 wheel ABS, great sound system, wide 16" wheels and tires, and same great look as the V8 (better in my opinion than the slighty gaudy Trans Am). Highly recommend the 3800 performance package to get the dual exhaust and Torsen limited slip differential (huge improvement in the traction department).
