I have a 2002 Pontiac firebird formula T/A with the Ram Air performance pkg. V8 6 speed manual shift. It is 20 years old now but looks like new and still runs like new. Love it!

The Best Car Every made by "GM"

I loved this car ever since it came out. For an 8 cylinder it gets very good gas mileage as long as you don't "floor" it. It has never broken down or left me stranded. For an American muscle car, it sounds and performs very well (0-60 in 5.2 sec). The only negative thing is that on long trips the leather seats can get hot and sweaty. Other than that, the car is the most fun i've ever had driving. Make sure when you buy this car you get a stick, that's half the fun right there....you have six gears to play with.

The drive of this vehicle was great, but the performance and reliability were not that great at all. It was a automatic and it had transmission trouble, it had brake problems numerous times. The electrical system was messed up. and the t-tops leaked. In the short time that I did own this car, it was in the shop a good fourth of that.

Great engine in this car and ride and handling is just right for me, but the build quality from GM continues to be poor.
