2002 Pontiac Firebird WS6 TA review from North America
"My First and Last Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I wish the skip-shift wouldn't function.
General comments?
Very fast, very cool.
Great 6-way power seats, 6-speed V8 is a blast.
Awesome handling, easy to smoke those expensive tires if not careful.
Automatic V8 is fine too, just as long as you got one with a V8, if you got the V6--I pity you when a mustangGT pulls up by you at a stop light.
If I'd change anything--I'd lose that damned skip-shift.
This car is too much fun; It's the first car I've ever owned, I used to drive trucks, my V6 dodge dakota doesn't quite turn heads like my black WS6--I cannot ever bring myself to sell it.
Lets face it, not everyone that wants a firebird is going to get one, that's a hard fact of life, especially the 1999+ models. They are going fast.
Get your bird before it's too late.
