Used 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Consumer Reviews
End of an Era
I had looked into purchasing a Trans Am in the fall of 2002. However, at the inflated prices they were asking, I couldn't fit this purchase into my budget. In February 2003, a local Pontiac dealer still had a WS6 convertible 6-speed left on the lot that they were practically giving away. Needless to say, it soon found a home in my garage. No regrets whatsoever on this purchase. Incredible car in all aspects. This car brings back fond memories of the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 383 4-speed I owned in my youth. Except it is faster, more comfortable, handles 100 times better, and gets 20-22 mpg. What more needs to be said?
Don't miss out
As they have been discontinued and may be hard to find, don't miss out on the last of GM's pony cars. As nice as the next gen. GTO seems, it still lacks the Trans Am's styling big time.

2002 Collectors Edition Trans Am
Great car.Fun to drive.Only 500 made for collectors.Great gas milage for all the power.
2002 WS6 6M
I just got my black 2002 ws6 with the 6 speed manual transmission and its been nothing but pure fun. The car handles very well and for the power it makes its pretty light on gas. The stereo system is very nice, not only does it have 500 watts of power, but the sound is very clear and with no static. Turn off the traction control, slam on the gas, now your havin fun!
Most fun in years
I don't know what car your editor was driving to give it a 5.5 rating, but it must not be the same car I have. I have a Firebird Trans Am with the WS6 option and it is by far the best performance car I have ever driven for this price range. I have had no problems with the car so far, and being that I'm a 60 year old performance enthusiast, it will probably be the last car I will ever buy. I say that because GM saw fit to discontinue a car, that if properly marketed could have been a big seller. I can't afford a 'Vette and I see no performance cars the calibur of the F- Bodies coming along in GM's future.
