1993 Pontiac Firebird Transam review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent, enough said!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS in-op light came on, faulty connector in dash.
Immobiliser fault, new module fitted.
General comments?
Seriously quick car ("no substitute for cubic inches") and it handles as well as any other Grand Tourer, despite what people may say.
Nicely laid out dash, comfortable cruiser (with space for luggage) but a bit bumpy over old back roads.
The sound of the engine cannot be beaten.
Simple to maintain and work on.
