1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am LT1 5.7

Summary:

Great fun to drive and very reliable

Faults:

Nothing major, all minor things like battery, clutch (worn out), window motor, headlight motors, window/lock switches, steering wheel radio controls, and horn contact inside steering wheel.

General Comments:

My Trans Am has never left me stranded anywhere. It is quick for a car built in 1993 and very comfortable on long trips. It also get incredible mileage (27+) for 275 hp rating.

My only complaint is that the plastic buttons (pw/pdl/steering wheel controls) inside the car do not hold up to extreme heat like the south has.

For a inaugural year of the 4th generation f-body, my hat is off to GM for doing a very good job on this car.

1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 350, V8

Summary:

A very exciting car to own

Faults:

Well, I bought my car used, so I had the preliminary problems.

Alternator had to be replace at 60000 miles.

Brake pads had to be replaced.

A/C went dead, cost me 160 dollars.

Had to put new fog lights in, they were dead when I got my car.

New catalytic converter.

General Comments:

I really love my car, the performance is amazing for an 18 year old. I can hang with a lot of cars. And beat even more! I love it when you nail the gas, it really goes, throws you in the back of your seat. I love it that when I shift from first to second that I can spin my tires a little, that is definently enough power. My car also helps me to pick up some girls! Everyone loves my car.

I had the preliminary problems when I first got my car, but now everything is working well.

Gas really puts a hurting on my wallet, I only get 17 miles per gallon in the city.

I plan on getting Flow masters on my car, just to give me a little more power and better sound. I can't wait!
