2002 Pontiac Firebird WS6 Trans Am with Ram Air review from North America
"A living legend... A modern day classic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sway bar end link somehow popped off on one side on two different occasions.
Windshield rattles in cold weather.
Headlights burned out on right front about 5 times in 1 year.
Paint on drivers side quarter panel behind the T-Top started spider webbing.
I have replaced the stereo in the car 3 times.
My trunk popper button fell out.
My hatch is real stiff to lift up, especially when it's cold.
I had my 'low oil' light come on 2 different times when I first bought the car.
And last, but not least... my head gasket was seeping engine oil and I just had my top half of my engine rebuilt... valves and all. Fortunately all of these things were covered under my warranty.
General comments?
Despite all of these problems that I have had with the car... This car is a joy to drive.
I feel happy just cruising around in this car.
This car is not only beautiful to look at, but handles excellently.
It has great pick up and the engine sounds beefy.
The 10 speaker Monsoon sound system sounds great.
This car is really only comfortable for the driver, as the back seat has no leg room and passengers must sit with their legs straight in front of them.
I only wish that G.M. would start making Trans Am's again.
