1992 Pontiac Firebird Base Model review from North America

Idler puller seized up, causing the serpentine belt to break. Overall a cheap task. 20 minutes and $40 to complete.

Clear coat is starting to peel, but honestly, this happens to everyone. Especially us owners of red 3rd gens.

Minor rust on the door.

Exhaust hangers broke, currently fixing.

Passenger window motor doesn't go down all the way.

Drivers side interior door handle doesn't work haha. Must open the car from the outside. Bought a handle from a junkyard, just need to put it in.

I love this car. It's fairly quick (in normal Drive), great gas mileage (in Overdrive), great handling, easy to work on, and replacement parts are all over the place. Cheap too.

Mine is red with T-Tops. Such a fun car to drive around in on nice days. I've put the black alloys from an '88 GTA on mine, looks amazing and the car rides and handles great.

The interior is really quite comfortable. Noise really isn't that bad because in '92 the frame was strengthened to reduce pops and rattles like the previous years. They were testing out the design for the 4th gen models.

Speaking of the 4th gen, the seats bolt right in to a 3rd gen F body and are a great improvement. Actually, a lot of the 4th gen interior pieces will fit in with only medium effort.

I've only driven the car for about 10k miles, but really its been great.

Not really a muscle car with a V6, but ya know what? That is a good engine and it gets the job done. I simply love this body style. Well worth the $1,950 I paid for it.
