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.

  Most fun in years - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By BADBLKBRD - May 30 - 2:00 am

  I dont know what car your editor was driving to give it a 5.5 rating, but it must not be the same car I have. I have a Firebird Trans Am with the WS6 option and it is by far the best performance car I have ever driven for this price range. I have had no problems with the car so far, and being that Im a 60 year old performance enthusiast, it will probably be the last car I will ever buy. I say that because GM saw fit to discontinue a car, that if properly marketed could have been a big seller. I cant afford a Vette and I see no performance cars the calibur of the F- Bodies coming along in GMs future.

  I had a GTA years ago and had to get back to a sports car. So I chose what I had before. My WS6 is by far the most powerful car Ive ever owned. Just with a little modifcation and can make it as fast a vette. My kids love it and so do I.

  Fun in the Sun - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Ragtopman - June 17 - 2:00 am

  I got a 99 Firebird convertable for college and this car is every young guys dream come true! This car, although not a V-8, still is a blast to drive. The top comes down fast and smoothly for cruising in the sun. Very recommended for people who want a fun car to drive.

  Firebirds Forever - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Tyler - May 25 - 2:00 am

  I own a 2002 Standard Firebird with the Sport Appearance Package, It is a GREAT car for summer cruising with the T-tops out. My car is Pewter Metallic and 4 speed automatic transmission. This car is perfect for a teenager who wants to be seen. I would recomend this car everyone and make sure to get one before there all gone!!

  Power, Performance, Fun and Romance - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By T/A lover since 74 - May 22 - 2:00 am

  The Pontiac Firebird is fun to drive, with a muscular V-6, 16 inch wheels, and four disc anti-lock brakes. This car is meant for serious drivers only. The handling is superb, responsiveness is excellent, and the cornering is great. The car is sexy and I get compliments all the time. I opted for the optional six year/sixty-thousand mile warranty, I plan on keeping this car till death. If youre thinking about it, go for it. This car is well worth the money and insurance.

  Its going to be a fun summer - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By gmanpopo - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy driving the T/A and it is alot more fun driving it with the ram air package, that added horse power is great.The only down fall is that all of the plastic on the interior, It could have been designed with alot less. I already have scratches on the interior door panels near the feet.

  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.
