Used 1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Consumer Reviews
95 t/a
This car is great I bought from A guy in Florida, who recently moved here (pa.). Body is in excellent shape to date. People ask me all the time is that a new car? No, I tell them it's a 95 (8 years old) and they say "NO WAY". Overall I like the car but it does have it's quirks, I owned 3 GM F-Bodies (85 camaro 2.8, 84 z28 - 5.0 h.o., 95 t/a 5.7L)and have the same complaints. Rattles and creaks everwhere, power windows are slow and always need adjusting, rides poorly on a bumpy road (shakes and rattles). No good in snow even with the posi, front air dam is to low, it bottoms out on almost anything.
HOLY CRAP!
This is the best car I have ever owned. This is the best car I have ever driven. This is the best car I have ever ridden in. Need I say more? I will! This car has amazing bone snapping torque, face-lifting horsepower, and head turning looks. I have quite a few mods, custom rims and cowl hood. I dont get looks, I get stares. When I pull into the Jiffy lube to get oil changed, the mechanics line up to gawk at the Trans Am. SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!

Can You Say Bye Bye?
I bought this almost 10yrs ago, and I'm still in love. The power, the performance and handling, you can not ask for better. It will blow the doors off on just about the road today. This car ain't a child's toy. Seats are great, but don't have a bad back. Hard to get out of.
Keeps on Ticking...
Well this is an update to a prior review of mine. I've owned this car for almost 3 years now. So far my list of repairs that are not routine are: Headlight Motor, Wheel Speed Sensor, Pinion Seal and a water pump. All in all not bad at all for having owned it for 3 years and put 35,000 miles on the car. It has been far more reliable than my mazda 626. Nearing 100,000 miles now and there is more windnoise and rattles than there used to be. I'm not looking forward to having to sell it in spring of 07. If you're looking for an F body buy one that has been well maintained. If taken care of they're very reliable, but if you get a bad one your life will be a livin hell as many can attest to.
The affordable car with a big honking V8
Overall it's the best buy of any of America's cheap horsepower. The 4- speed automatic is top-notch, but I would recommend the 6-speed manual over the auto. It's LT1 V8 engine has enough power for anyone except John Force. You couldn't ask for a better factory suspension, it has extremely good 4-disc ABS brake system that stops on a dime and gives you 3 cents back. The car has some weak points though. The quality of some of the build parts are questionable. The optispark ignition system is junk, but it works better than any OEM ignition put in a car in 50 years. The power window motors are prone to just craping out.
