When I was just thinking about trading in my 92 Firebird V-6 3.8, I took a test drive in this car. I still liked my 92, but it had over 200,000 miles on it! I found the performance to be outstanding, and the car is very comfortable. The extra features such as the Traction Control system and the 6 speed transmission only add to the performance. The gas mileage is excellent for a V8, it is close to that of my former V6. I highly recommend this model.

Fun car to drive. Always get a lot of compliments on style and color. I have not a problem with this car and it gets great gas milage. Averages 22mpg in everyday use and 27 mpg on trips. Very little wind in the cabin with the top down and can drive in 80 degrees plus with the air on and down to 50 with heat. Best car I have ever owned

Overall performance when I first purchased car was excellent. No repairs needed. Maintenance was kept up from previous owner. Great condition inside/out. Bought at 65k. Take curves like a whip. Engine was eager to drive like a bat out of hell. Now at 121k still runs good but maintenance is needed.

I looked at many cars during my search and ran across my black WS6 T/A while looking at an Acura. I was getting frustrated by the lack of imagination in most of the current crop of Jelly- bean shaped cars, but this one is different. Gorgeous. Fast. Sounds as aggressive as it goes. Forget about the relentless pursuit of blandness GM and build something like this with character!

Punch the gas at 30mph and listen to the tires rip loose! I've taken this car stock to 13.20@106 at State Capital Dragway. To say that that isn't impressive is ignorant. The car handles great, gets decent enough gas mileage, and as long as you don't have to sit in the back seat, you're comfortable!
