1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am review from North America
"Awesome fun!... and fast!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wipers are broken.
A small painted aluminium piece of the convertible top is corroded and looks kind of nasty right now. Must be removed treated and painted.
Also, the car failed the emissions test when I first got it. Turned out it was a bad catalytic converter - $850.00. But it was under warranty still! Yes, even though the car is almost 8 years old.. New warranties must cover emissions related parts for 8 years or 130000km.
General comments?
I love the car. It is super fast and very slick looking. Nicest style of all modern sports cars. They hold their value very well. must get the six speed transmission though. The convertible top is so well designed its like a hardtop when up. You would not regret buying a car this cool and fun! go for it.. you only live once.
