1995 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 5.7 350cid from North America
Summary:
This Trans Am offers the most bang for the buck
Faults:
Nothing major yet, but one fog lamp is out due to a rock or pebble.
General Comments:
This LT1 engine has a lot of torque. It pulls very hard to red-line. The 6 speed T-56 doesn't hurt either! The handling is great even with the smallish 16 inch rims. There is no interior noise at any speeds. This car will easily do 150 MPH. I currently have no complaints on this vehicle.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I've been weeping over trading in my 1995 Firebird (that I absolutely love!) to get a new 4wd truck because I'm pregnant, until I read your review. My bird has the same trouble; ds window motor going/ps window starting to go, constant brake problems, directionals go on when they feel like it, and my brake light is constantly on. The oil isn't leaking (thank god). I was going to have these things fixed because I didn't think they would be that costly. I decided to trade it in because it's not at all a family wagon and I couldn't afford a new truck payment without the money I got for the trade. I feel better about not fixing them and trading it in after reading your review. To anyone thinking about buying this car used, go for it if you don't mind fixing these things. I've had mine for 7 yrs and still am not tired of it (even with it's faults). It's a great ride with an awesome sound. Still has get up and go - nothing better on a hot day, tops down, stereo going... this car will be VERY missed!
