i just purchesed this car and i love it. this car is 10 years old with 119,000 miles on it and it runs very good. the interior is very comfortable with the bucket seats. the engine has plenty of power especialy for a V6. the car had a few minor problems. most of which are fixed already. i already have plans for a few performance upgrades which should make this car a real beast.

Problems with oil leaking coming from the back of the engine and on the mufler "Y" pipe cause fumes to enter the interior of the car. Noise from the rear (probably the differential or similar part) notable when running idle specially down hill. Meanwhile, I already smoked at least 3 V8, including 2 mustangs on the HWY. Finally, performance is great but if whe get it back from GM, I will love those problems (found on newer models too) fixed and ofcourse, more power on the V6 3800 platform.

Well i bought this car as a replacement for my 92 lebaron convertible, yeah it was a lebaron BUT i had owned it long enough to finally get ALL the jitters out of it. Now the Firebird a V6 Manual is the best daily driver i've ever had with reguarly over 21 MPG in the city! Only problem is, it's a used car and with that comes the growing pains of getting used to it. I've fixed almost all the initial jitters (most of which could have been avoided had the dealership Pete Moore of Pensacola been at ALL honest with me) Now all i gotta do is get a new fuel pump and it'll be all good.
awesome all around car

this is my second car i've owned, my first was a 91 grand prix and it was an awsome little car, but i decided to sell it to get something that was a little quicker. which is my firebird. Its a good looking car with the power to back it up, even with the 3.8L in it. The car had a few minor problems when i bought it, but all were very cheap and easy fixes, and haven't had a problem with it since. And just add a few performance parts to these things and they REALLY move, i have just a few minor bolt on parts and im able to beat V8 mustangs with it! And i use mine as a race car and it has close to 130000 miles on it.
great car to keep

I have the `96 bird and an `01 grand am gt1 anniversary edition. The grand am will be out of my inventory long before the bird. I can't believe how well it has held up mechanically and stylishly. I am going to be pleased to give it a pimpin in the springtime. It is going to be a classic some day!
