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.

WS6 Trans Am - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By Vulturez - September 4 - 10:06 pmExtremely powerful, fun to drive, last of the true muscle cars! Interior could be styled with less plastic, however has true cockpit feel. Turns heads at every stoplight due to aerodynamic exterior. Sorry to see this classic go out of production.

2002 Pontiac Firebird Collectors Ed. - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By Quentin Thomas - July 21 - 1:43 amThe drive of this vehicle was great, but the performance and reliability were not that great at all. It was a automatic and it had transmission trouble, it had brake problems numerous times. The electrical system was messed up. and the t-tops leaked. In the short time that I did own this car, it was in the shop a good fourth of that.

The Muscle Car Lives! But not after 2002 - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By Marcman - February 25 - 10:00 amAn affordable Big Boys Toy for those that want to be a Rebel in an era of four bangers and dull styling.

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

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

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

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 love my WS6 vert! - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
By WYO_VR4 - December 27 - 12:10 amI 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!
