I've had an '88 Dodge Aries, '95 Geo Metro & an '02 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I said I'd NEVER drive another car after being in my truck but with gas at $4 & getting 17 mpg while driving a 60 mile daily commute. I had to re-evaluate. I was shown 3 crap cars when I went in for a trade- in (1 was TOTALLY crapped out & wouldn't even crank!) & then shown this '01 Firebird. I drove it. That's all there was to it. I giggled the whole time! Kit had 75K miles on her & hadn't been taken care of very well but she purrs like a dream & the LOOKS she gets is just mesmerizing!! *giggles* Truck? What truck?! :D

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.

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!

This is the second firebird i have owned the first was a 1996 had alot of problems with that one but the design and handling made me come back to the firebird. I have also owned 2 cameros they do not hold a candle no comparison. I love to just drive with the t-tops off. This car is great. And this car is 5 years old but looks brand new. Only 41000 miles. Holds up great. One day maybe they will build a car that will compare for the money. Gm really screwed up by stopping production. What a shame. They are bringing back an old gto. But stop making the best car they had. I question common sense there its a shame. And by the way i drive a bird because that is what i like not because thats all i can

well I think I got such a wonderful deal at 6,000 dollars for a 01 Bird The only thing I have a problem with is when it rains and that's all. I like the 31 hwy mpg cause I'm daily on the Highway anyway. I have been offered way above what it's worth and always have people staring because the car is a head turner. Pontiac Red and T-tops it is by far one of my fav cars the only thing above it is the Dodge Viper.
