Used 1999 Pontiac Firebird Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Nice, but be careful
I love this car, I really do... but if you think you are getting a maintance free car, think again. I've had to replace the cadilidic converter, transmition, and window motors all in a matter of 8 months. It's a fun car to drive, but again with any sports car, be prepared to put up with some headaches. Also, upgrading some of the performance peices can be a snap, but others can be a pain in the rear. For example, the engine is mounted sideways, so replacing spark plugs can be a chore. NOTE, I only gave the performance a six becuase the relaibility is so poor.... mine is increased to a good 230 HP and it handles great, but becuase of shop problems I'm often left wondering.
SO MANY PROBLEMS!!!!!!
I'm so upset with my '99 base V6 firebird 5spd. It's had so many problems with it that I cannot stand it anymore! I've had over $5,000 worth of repairs in a little over a year. This is not a sports car at all! People say "they should expect failures because it's a sports car" I laugh at them in dispair! A Ferrari is a sports car....do you see multiple things on them breaking every month?!? NO!!!!! I rest my case and am selling my car!
