1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am review from North America
"A Corvette with room for four"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery was dead due to sitting up for over two months.
Brakes are currently "squeaking."
General comments?
This car looks great with and without the t-tops being taken off.
Handles exceptionally well, although the rear is a little light.
Interior was wonderfully designed and is very comfortable for a single or even married without children person.
