I have owned my 2002 trans am convertible for 10 years.It is by far the best car I have ever had. Yellow collector edition,6 speed manual WS6 It runs like hell,and I have goose bumps every time I drive it. It is a fabulous muscle car that I will keep for life. I can't go anywhere without someone asking about the car."Do you want to sell it" NOOOOOOOOO!!!! I could not get more fun on the road and hope to stay out of trouble. This car is my dream car,what else can I say...
These cars are fun

This car is super fast, look great, and turn heads of all ages everywhere I go. It's now 9 years old and is still one of the best looking cars on the road. I've owned mine a few years now with zero problems and I will say that the car is as much fun now as the day I bought it. Highly recommended!

This is the best possible car you could ever own. The leahter interior is breathtaking and the new body kit is just the most amazing thing you could ever possibly see. The reliability is just awsome and the build quality is a guaranteed perfect 10. Oh and the performance can almost beat anything out there.

Man, I hate to see these cars go. 30mpg on the hwy and 312.5rwhp and 338rtq under your right foot. Those are bone stock rear wheel numbers. No wonder these cars propel you through the quarter in mid to low 13's with ease all the while let you park yourself in a nice power leather seat with the a/c on, cd's jammin' ttops off etc etc etc. Hell, the car is even great in the twisties. BTW, I'mn ot a small guy by any means, 6'2'', 285 and fit in her fine. People may not apreciate these cars now ,but they will in the future. I could not ask for more in an automibile. It's a 25k slap in the face to cars priced 3 times as much

I am a car guy who has owned over 30 different cars over the last 20 years. All I can say is WOW! This WS6 TA rules the road. I can't believe Pontiac screwed up the marketing so bad. This is an awesome ride. It is blistering fast and can hold four people. It is the closest thing to flying a jet fighter and can still get 26 MPG. I can't praise its handling enough. Mine ran a 13.10 and it is totally stock and I had never raced before. Pontaic under rated the horse power for sure!

Got this car back in March and wish I had got it sooner. I absolutely love this car! SOM, LS1 power of 300+ HP, 6speed, the works. It has just about everything you'd want for a muscle car w/ room for improvement.
I love my WS6 vert!

I was very happy got a great deal on my car. It's a true performance bargain and so much fun to drive. Turns heads wherever I go and gets over 30mpg in 6th gear on the highway - a nice feature these days! Cruising around with the top down this summer was awesome. It's the best car I've ever bought. I much prefer the instant torque of the LS1 to any turbocharged import. The car is easy to work on and upgrade, if desired. I'm happy with mine as it is but I did upgrade the stereo. The one in the vert is rather puny compared to the coupe's. Then again, who needs a stereo when the car sounds this good. American muscle at its finest. Highly recommended but don't forget that radar detector!

I'm an avid GM/Chevy girl. I've had an '86 Firebird for 5 yrs now but when it needed too many repairs all at once, my hubby convinced me we needed a new car. I didn't want a new one, I loved the '86. I'm so glad I gave in.I bought my Fire Engine Red Firebird WS6 pkg used w/39k miles on it and in mint condition. I couldn't believe how perfect this car was. I am a true muscle car lover and this car is awesome. Sadly I was rearended and the frame was bent so the insurance co. totaled it out. It is a very safe car but body repairs are expensive. I never got to take it to the track but next time I will! My hubby promised me another one so I am on the look out for another one, red w/ blk lthr #2.

I have owned several sports cars and this by far is my favorite. From the quick and nimble handling to the snap your neck torque off the line, this car is a winner. The Hurst 6 speed and ram air are great additions and the sound system is incredible. Pop the T-tops and cruise.

This car is a blast to drive. More power than the sane mind would expect. Everyone from 5 to 85 comments on the car. This car gets 25 mpg at 80 mph in 6th gear. Last weekend I folded down the rear seat and hauled home several 4X8 sheets of plywood and 2X4s from Home Depot ... I kept it under 80 for the trip home :)

I love my WS6, it is the best car I have ever owned. I have done some under the hood work and with not a lot of money or wrench time. It's now over 450 horsepower and kills just about everything off the line. The interior is a little cheap and needs some work but the engine totally makes up for it. I have never had a serious problem with the car, and she loves the cold weather and the heat and air work better in this then in my friends BMW. Bottom line the WS6 is an amazing machine and not to mention she looks like a beast in someone's rear view mirror!

This is one of the most fun cars to drive. 345 hp at your foot's control and did I mention, 24 mpg. Drives and rides great for a high performance sports car. Makes you feel 17 again.

WS-6, Trans am 2 door coupe artic white, 6 speed manual tranny. Great car, fun to drive, very powerful, lightning fast, great sound system, great gas mileage (28 MPG on a 600 mile round trip). Too bad GM stopped building these. This car will blow just about anything off the road. The car turns heads ( young and old )with it's great looks everywhere I go. It's one of the sharpest cars on the road and the SLP exhaust system sounds great. The car sounds so good that I really don't listen to the radio much. I enjoy the sound of the engine. She purrs like a kitten when idleing or driving at road speed but she roars like a lion when you wind her up. I love this car with no plans to trade or sell.

Always wanted a T/A but never had the chance until now. The performance has to be felt to be believed. That 5.7L WS6 engine just sings when you give it the gas. People dont even bother to try and cut you off when they see it on the road

I had a GTA years ago and had to get back to a sports car. So I chose what I had before. My WS6 is by far the most powerful car I've ever owned. Just with a little modifcation and can make it as fast a vette. My kids love it and so do I.

This car puts a smile on my face everytime i step into my garage how all the body lines go together from front to back. Performance far better then the mustang. How the car handles it self when going through corners and when you go straight and mash down on it picking up speed in no time.

I absolutely love this car! I have a 2002 T/A WS6, 6-speed Hurst of course! I owned a 2001 F-150 Lariat Ext. Cab Off-Road 4X4(which I dearly loved) and one night I drove by the Pontiac dealership to see the Trans Ams and fell in love. The next day I went in and drove what was soon to be my new Pewter Trans AM. Then on 7-25-01 I bought her! No regrets!!!
Wish it could stay

As everyone else said I love this car. I had to buy one before they were all sold out. I was fortunate enough to get my paws on one in a different state and had it shipped to the motor city. I went with black on black on black. This car is out of hand. Every where I go people tell me how much they like it. You don't see many of these babies on the road. To all you TA owners hold on to them.

This, simply put, is the best performance car in the 30-50k range. The only thing that could possibly be better than this is a 'Vette Z06. It's completely reliable, unless you think you don't have to change the oil or air up the tires. The only problem with this car is that stupid press people (i.e. Edmunds.com, Motortrend) seem to have forgotten that a car should have the goods, and not the hype. If you're ready for the real deal, a sports car that can blow the doors of any Japanese import or Ford product, then step right up. Posers may take Mustangs and Celicas.

Bought my 2002 Trans Am WS6 automatic in 2016 with about 50k miles on it, required some deferred maintenance issues (tires, brakes, other small items) with a clean car fax for $13000.oo CDN. It was a two long-term owner car, original paint, very clean all around both inside and out. Since then I have driven it sparingly but with vigor. For performance, it does not disappoint and still turns heads when I am out and about. Small kids sometimes freak out and can't believe how amazing it looks; many do not even know what it is, I find that quite amusing! Ok, it does have a certain "Hot-Wheels" look to it but that is a part of the appeal too, it is unlike most other cars on the road and you seldom see these anywhere. I also drive a 2005 Mustang GT (bought new) and a 2010 Challenger RT but neither of these cars attract the curious attention like my Trans Am does. In a way, it is unfortunate that these are the "last of the breed" but I like that too, they didn't make very many Trans Am WS6's the last year of production so when I do go for a spin, I know that some will appreciate that these are now somewhat rare; I seldom see any where I live (Newfoundland, Canada). I have also been watching the prices on these for some time and I am certain that these will only increase in value over time, I plan to hold mine forever. It has the unique looks, the LS1 power (easily modified if that is your thing), the awesome rumble of the exhaust, parts are still easy to come by when required and I believe you still get more smiles per mile than many other cars costing substantially more. These will be making the crossing to antique status in just a few short years, so if you really want one, the price is at the bottom of the used car cycle right now. It is getting a little harder to find clean ones for a decent price, I would avoid anything with high mileage, keep looking, they are out there. I would rate this car 8 out of ten. Yes, some of the plastics may not hold up over time (mine are fine), yes, they do exhibit rattles on bumpy roads but you really are getting good value for your money with these Pontiacs. There are many cars being made today that offer more horsepower, touch screens, extra bells and whistles but they are expensive....very expensive.....and remember, no manufacturer today offers T-tops in their lineups. Even today, you really can't go wrong with one of these financially, just ensure before you purchase that you get it checked out by a good garage/mechanic, then hit the open road. Who knows, if you take care of it, treat it with the respect it deserves, the value might actually increase over time, how can that be a bad thing eh?

I enjoy driving the T/A and it is alot more fun driving it with the ram air package, that added horse power is great.The only down fall is that all of the plastic on the interior, It could have been designed with alot less. I already have scratches on the interior door panels near the feet.

I knew I wanted a sports car for my next vechile. I drove a GT Mustang and then the Trans Am (with Ram Air). The Mustang just didn't compare to the Trans Am. The Trans Am is just a pleasure to drive. I use the car as my everyday car and I look forward to getting behind the wheel and driving to work (or sitting in Washington DC traffic more apporiately).

This Is Pontiac's most exciting vehicle of all time.It has so much performance that it is a big disapointment that it will be discontinued this year.The only area that this vehicle does not excell in would be the fuel economy department.I guess that if you can afford one of these dream cars, you really dony worry about how far it will travel on a tankfull of gas.

I ordered my 2002 TransAm in April, the last month orders were accepted. It replaced a 2000 TransAm. T-top, WS6 handeling and performance package ... this car can't be beat for performance vs price. I'm really sorry Pontiac discontinued the Firebird/TransAm.

Bought my TA in 9/01. Mine has the famed WS6 package, definately worth the extra cost. Great looks, decent interior (still has GM's plastic-itis), and most importantly,unsurpassed performance. I drove several mustangs, from the V6 putt-putt-mobile to the GT's to the Bullit, all claiming 'headsnapping acceleration and power'. Although impressive, 'headsnapping' is a joke; and the TA's 0-60 time proves it. I have yet to find a high volume production mustang that can catch the TA, more or less keep up with it. It's a shame GM marketing has let this car reach this point. Truly the end of the affordable sportscar/muscle car era. Glad I got mine before they're gone.

The 2002 model year is the last year for the f-bodies, therefore, I bought a 2002 Trans Am WS.6 before they become scarce. I loved the looks of Trans Ams and especially WS.6 models. This is my 4th f-body, previously owned 1988 Camaro 5SPD.[305v8], 1994 Z28-6SPD., 1995 Trans Am-6SPD., 1996 Z28-6SPD. and will say this is by far the best in looks, pure speed, handling-(275-40ZR17 wheels and tires sure help) and getting a thumbs up from other motorists. I was looking for a 6speed but got a great deal on an auto[4L60E] in arctic white that I couldn't pass up. Interior has fighter jet cockpit sensation, 500 watt monsoon audio. Got 25mpg-Greenville NC. to Erie PA. No problems as of 30k miles.

If you are looking for a true high performance vehicle, you have to check out the WS6 Trans AM! My car has the 6-speed tranny and the evil 5.7L LS1 V8. GM rates the horsepower at 325 and torque at 350lbs. I have seen dynos that show 310-320+ horsepower to the rear wheels. This means the car is actually producing 360-375 HP at the flywheel. The car has very comfortable seating with lots of front leg room but not so much in the rear. My car also gets on average 20 mpg in the city. Not bad for a hot rod. One thing that I really like about my car is that it's a very rare car.

There is no car around that delivers anywhere near the performance per dollar as the Trans Am. Doesn't have quite the "status" symbol appeal of some other cars, but if your goal is pure performance, this car can't be beat. It's nice to pull up to a stop light next to sports cars that cost twice as much, only to see them disappearing in your rear view mirror after the light turns green.

With all the kids in college it was time to get rid of the minivan. We always wanted a vet but could never see spending all that cash. Never was a Ford man, so the Mustang wasn't an option. Then saw the Ram Air hood and that sold us. Looks were the biggest thing, the fact that it was fast, had the same engine as the vet and was about $20k less, sealed the deal. The last of a dying breed, but we love it. If we have to take somebody with us, they can squeeze in the back, too.

This is a Ram Air, its a navy blue head turner. I've had this car for 14 months and it is always a thrill to fire it up and hit the roads. Too bad they discontinued the line but it is a car I don't think most women would enjoy owning. It is just too brutal once youve eaten the standard BMWs. Out the door for less than $30,000.00 so you cant beat that.

I had a lot fun with this car, handling is great, takes hills like nothing, great on turns, good sound system, good show car, all around it was a really good car. The t-top was also a lot of fun because it kept me cool when it was really hot out. A really good pick up chick car.

This car is the performance bargain of a lifetime. A car that out performs cars costing twice as much, along with it's menacing head-turning looks, how can you go wrong? Anyone who has the means and the opportunity to own this car would be doing themselves a huge favor to check it out. Once you drive it you'll understand. Why anyone would choose the uglier, boxy, slower Mustang is beyond me. GM's decision to end the Firebird/Camaro is a true shame. Pontiac is left with nothing but boring cars with body cladding.
Still the best bang for the buck

Amazing acceleration from the 345hp/350lb-ft LS1 engine let's the V8 equipped Firebird's (and Camaro's) solidly take top honors for factory performance for the money. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds in the slowest form for mid $20k is unbelievable. Interior and exterior design is amazing, with the only commonly voiced complaint being that the doors are to long and heavy. Build quality is typical domestic fare, with plenty of plastic bits and cheap looks - But everything fits tight and is easy to reach/operate from the driver's seat.

I love my 2002 WS.6 Trans Am. I am a previous owner of a 1989 Trans Am GTA and loved that one too. The 2002 is even better though. In a world full of me-too cars like the Mustang and cars that all look like they came from the same mold, the Trans Am stood out as being different, bold, and aggressive, more than even it's own sibbling the Camaro. Every magazine always pits Mustang vs. Camaro when it talks about muscle cars but that's just PR work. It was the Trans Am that made muscle cars. think screaming chicken, smokey & the Bandit, or Knight Rider. GM did nothing to help the Fbody compete, they died not from abandonment by consumbers but by neglect from their parent, thanks GM

I purchased my car new and have had problems since the third month of ownership. Battery was leaking acid after a few months of ownership. Continuous electrical issues; I had the engine compartment fuel box replaced, I'm always replacing fuses. Calalytic converter has been replaced after few months of ownership...is broken again. Was getting 19/29m/p/g now gets 8 m/p/g. Engine noises, nocking noises, fuel intake issues; the interior door panel split. Poor support from Pontiac/GM. I have a stack of services/repair invoices over an inch thick. It's sad because it was my dream car.

Fully loaded 6spd Ram Air WS6 Dissipointed. Suspension is set up for drag racing, not road racing (salivion life). Anoying "squat" when on gas or brakes (car is LOOSE). PISTON SLAP problem at cold startup and lifter noise! At startup 5-10 (hollow scrap/knock) This is your pistons cocking sidways in the cylinder bore until the pistons expand enough to narrow the tolerance. Also, the 6spd manual is a P.O.S. It shifts harshly, binds up, and you can directly from 6th to 3rd to pass someone! It also exibits gear rattle at the bottom of 1st and 2nd

Hopefully it will be brought back as a leaner more refined machine. GM needs to look at the sales success of the Mustang and give the consumer what they want. They want fun value packaged performance cars with styling elements from the original 1967, 1968 and 1969 cars. Think of it, a Mustang shaped car with a more upright seating position with a 5.7 V-8 engine. These cars should be about balanced fun and performance. This is something Ford has figured out. Rest in peace? I hope not.

Extremely powerful, fun to drive, last of the true muscle cars! Interior could be styled with less plastic, however has true cockpit feel. Turns heads at every stoplight due to aerodynamic exterior. Sorry to see this classic go out of production.

There simply is no way you can touch this level of performance for this price. The F-body twins blow the Mustang out of the water when it comes to power and handling. It's a shame that GM saw fit to kill them off.
happy new driver

Love it!!! My first v8 sports car with rear drive. Every other vehicle was 4 banger turbo of some kind.

My car is actually a 2002 Trans Am Firehawk. I'm in my 20s and wanted a T/A all my life; lives up to all the years of dreaming. The car corners on a dime. Acceleration is smooth and quick. Great exhaust note. The interior doesn't live up to the exterior, however. Not horrible, but you'd expect more from a car that was top of the fleet for Pontiac when it was out. When Pontiac makes this car again (and they will, only a matter of time) they should improve this, along with reducing cabin noise. Trough wander is annoying at times, but that's inherent on most cars with wider wheels and tires, and only happens when driving on older, worn roads.

Out of the 5 Trans Ams I've owned this one is the best. Previous years, 1984, 1990,1995,1998 all bought new. I plan to keep forever as it is a 3rd car.

I have had many delightfull times with my convertable,it is part of a long line of Pontiac convertables i have owned. To me its a shame they have discontinued this line of cars. This current car has performed up to all of my expectations it is truly an american sports car.
