Pros: Fast, Pretty
Cons: Small backseat
Summary: On November 6, 1996 I purchased a 1997 Pontiac Firebird. I loved this car. I traded in a 1991 Firebird on this car. I had liked my older firebird so I thought I would like the newer model. I was right.
My bird as I call it was red. It had ... read more

Pros: Looks and handling.
Cons: It's been a lemon. JUNK.
Summary: I purchased my '98 Firebird new and I loved it. For about 8 months. That's when the trouble first started. While driving in a parking lot, the ignition switch and coils blew out. These were not covered under the warranty. Since then, I've had some ... read more

Pros: Fast, looks, nice interior, fun to drive!
Cons: Tiny back seat, little trunk space, bottom scrapes the road on inclines, very high maintenance.
Summary: I bought my bright red Firebird on March 31,2003, it had 75,000 miles on it. I've been obsessed with them since I was 2 years old, so I was thrilled to trade in my Saturn. Although I wanted a V8, the V6 is pretty fast, could outrun my friend's V6's. A ... read more

Pros: Fast, handles great,very Sharp and turns heads.
Cons: Expensive to repair.It doesn't hold up very well in wrecks, crumbles pretty easy.
Summary: I have had 2 Pontiac Formulas. My black one was hit by some young girl and the car slid off the frame and was a mess. I also have a motor that went out in my head light! I know you have seen many Formulas with one head light up, well this is why. These ... read more

Pros: Fast, very nice looking, frequently mistaken for a Corvette :)
Cons: Not a family roadtrip car, small backseat
Summary: My girlfriend recently bought a bright yellow 97 Firebird, let me tell you a few things about it... I have a 95 V6 Camaro and its both a joy and a pain in my side when she smokes me at the track. Both of our cars are stock, but her car just has ... read more

Pros: Awesome power, low price, tight
Cons: Loud, rough ride(con?) engine ages well but nothing else does
Summary: I bought a fully loaded 6-speed manual 1997 Firebird Trans Am with the 5.7 V8 in 1999 for about $19k with 55k miles, at 77k now. It's superfast. The engines age well. 60-100 is more fun than 0-60. This car is for ultra power hungry people who don't ... read more

Pros: powerful V6, fun to drive
Cons: road noise, backseat is a joke, little trunk space
Summary: First a little background- my 97 V6 Firebird has just over 71,000 miles on it, all of which I've put on myself. From the time I drove it off the lot, I've driven it HARD (proof- I'm on my 3rd set of tires and 3rd set of brakes). I always figured it ... read more

Pros: Nice styling, passes the "stare test". Very reliable, Excellent traction in bad weather.
Cons: Body flex, awful rear window
Summary: We purchased a 1997 Pontiac Firebird convertible after noticing that it was calling my wife from the lot.
Absolutely adorable car, white with a beige interior. Like all ragtops, it had a lot of road noise with the top up, and being passed by a ... read more

Pros: gas milage, driver control, 0-60 times
Cons: not for those over 6'1, they call that a backseat??
Summary: My wife bought a 1997 Pontiac Firebird before the two of us met, and I tell you what...just the car alone was enough to fall in love. T-tops, nice alloy WHEELS, not hubcaps like the pre-1997, and SPEED.
I was crushed when I found out that ... read more

Pros: Plenty of horsepower, great handling, very comfortable, super sound system
Cons: Traction Loss on Snowy or Wet surfaces, Blind Spot in Rear
Summary: If you are looking for a fun car to drive, then this one is it. I always wanted a sports car, but never wanted to pay $50,000 to have one. The choices in the less expensive category are minimal. So, I researched and decided on the Firebird based upon ... read more

Pros: Looks, engine, good factory stereo, FAST , interior, value
Cons: Small, nearly useless sideview mirrors, insurance rating is 'worse than average', not a gas sipper
Summary: If any of you have read any of my other reviews, you might have gotten the idea that I like musclecars, and Camaros in particular. I've always liked the styling of the Firebird as well, but until recently had never really had any experience with one. ... read more

Pros: great handling - lots of standard options
Cons: insurance rates on young drivers
Summary: My wife wanted a new car and we started looking at the saturns. Once we got all the options she wanted, the price was well over $20,000. That is when I said - for this price you might as well by a sports car (big mistake on my part). Next thing I know ... read more

Pros: Nice Looking
Cons: Engine Problems
Summary: I purchased a beautiful 97 green/blue (changes color) back in May. Thinking this was the car of my dreams. I recently had my service engine soon light come on. If any of you have experienced this "LIGHT" before it means the start of trouble. I ... read more

Pros: Strong Engine, Great body style
Cons: Awful Electrical system.
Summary: Not to state the obvious, but the car is a nice looking piece of machinery. I will grant you that. But before you put out the cash for this muscular road menace, be aware of one owner's story. I'm a young and successful entrepreneur in my early 20's ... read more
