1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 review from North America
"One tough looking and performing car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear intake gasket leaked a little oil. I got it fixed under warranty.
General comments?
This has got to be one of the best looking cars around for a reasonable price.
It always turns heads and gets positive comments.
It has awesome acceleration and handling.
I've never had any problems at all, except for the minor oil leak.
It has cup holders!
It has a lot of rattles.
Tires didn't last too long.
I wish it had the LS1 V8 which is even faster.
