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.

  2002 Trans Am, Ram Air, Hatchback - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Black_Bird - June 1 - 10:00 am

  I knew I wanted a sports car for my next vechile. I drove a GT Mustang and then the Trans Am (with Ram Air). The Mustang just didnt compare to the Trans Am. The Trans Am is just a pleasure to drive. I use the car as my everyday car and I look forward to getting behind the wheel and driving to work (or sitting in Washington DC traffic more apporiately).

  Still the best bang for the buck - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By X-Caliber - March 13 - 2:00 am

  Amazing acceleration from the 345hp/350lb-ft LS1 engine lets the V8 equipped Firebirds (and Camaros) solidly take top honors for factory performance for the money. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds in the slowest form for mid $20k is unbelievable. Interior and exterior design is amazing, with the only commonly voiced complaint being that the doors are to long and heavy. Build quality is typical domestic fare, with plenty of plastic bits and cheap looks - But everything fits tight and is easy to reach/operate from the drivers seat.

  Dream Car - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By DSworo9 - January 29 - 2:00 am

  Got this car back in March and wish I had got it sooner. I absolutely love this car! SOM, LS1 power of 300+ HP, 6speed, the works. It has just about everything youd want for a muscle car w/ room for improvement.

  By Linda Dalton - January 25 - 2:00 am

  I really love this car! It is the most fun to drive automobile I have ever had the pleasure. I am the daughter of a car salesman and have had many cars but this is by far the best! Only problem Ive had is the front headlight has had to be adjusted twice.

  Collectors Edition TransAm - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By TransAm1 - September 6 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Pontiac Collectors Edition TransAm in April 2002. This car is a real head-turner. The performance, and comfort is good. The aerodynamic styling, yellow exterior, and black stripes is what makes it attractive. The engine sounds clean, and the car handles very good. It is reliable and always fun to drive. I have never had a problem with it.

  Last of a Breed - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Jim43 - June 15 - 10:00 am

  I ordered my 2002 TransAm in April, the last month orders were accepted. It replaced a 2000 TransAm. T-top, WS6 handeling and performance package ... this car cant be beat for performance vs price. Im really sorry Pontiac discontinued the Firebird/TransAm.

  Nice car. I hope to drive this till it drops. I have a peppy 6cyl convertible. Very tight. speedy and responsive. It is beyond me why this car didnt sell better.

  02 NHRA Trans Am - 2002 Pontiac Firebird
  By Buzz - April 25 - 2:00 am

  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
