2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 review from North America
"Screams modern Muscle car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems at all. With 4,000 miles I would hope so.
General comments?
If I had to describe this car in 5 words I would use Fun, Fast, Eyecandy, Rattlebox, and last Cheap (price of the car and build components)
Like any car it has its good and bad qualities. A potential buyer has to ask themselves what they want out of a car.
I wanted a performance car that would go up in value as the months roll on and the mileage stays low. That is what I have.
Things I would change if I where king at G.M.
1. For the love of god after 100 years of making cars can't they build one that doesn't sound like the dash is going to pop out over the bumps? (granted I drive on Michigan roads)
2. After you fix the dash can you make my motor not sound like a diesel when I first start it.
3. Um G.M. 1987 called they want there interior back for a sweet IROC-Z they are re-building.
4. The 6-speed gearbox is great to look at, but when you need to shift its time to concentrate and make zero mistakes or its Find Em Grind Em time. The G.M. engineers should shift a Viper through the gears one time.
5. The radio is almost as bad as Tiny Tim singing in the back seat.
As I read this it sounds like I don't like this car very much?
That is not true I love this car. I just wrote about my dislikes because it would have taken to much space to talk about what I love about this car. Its really quite simple Pontiac is driving excitement period.
