1999 Pontiac Firebird review from North America
"Great car if you don't mind sacrificing a little power to save money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Following all at 106000km.
Rear transmission Seal.
Engine coil.
Ignition module.
General comments?
This car is sweet. For a V6 it flies. I have had a few problems, but nothing too major.
This car handles like a dream, and has enough get up and go to get yourself in or out of trouble.
Also in Alberta, since it's a V6, it classifies as a hatchback, and my insurance is no more than any other small car. Plus I get on average 32mpg.
