Pros: good performance, comfortable
Cons: read this epinion
In the beginning of 2/2000, I bought a new Firebird 2000. I chose the base model with the V6/200hp engine, T-top etc. I have this car now for 8 weeks and yesterday I put mile #3000 on it.. here are my impressions.
One warning upfront. I am not a...

Pros: Looks FAST!
Cons: But is NOT!
The Bottom Line: Don't buy one of these cars, unless you just WANT to be all show and no go...
Okay, let's get started. I recently came into posession of a 3.8 liter V6 year 2000 Firebird with automatic transmission. The car is maroon red, it is in clean condition, and it had 40000 miles when I bought it. I paid 12000 dollars for this car, ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sleek styling, excellent performance and handling, some thoughtful innovations
Cons: Minor trim repairs needed, inefficient gas consumption, poor customer service
The Bottom Line: If you like Pontiac Firebirds, you'll like the top of the line model; the Trans Am - Ram Air convertible. Produced in limited numbers, a good investment.
It’s a girl magnet, it’s a guy magnet, no doubt a thief magnet, and definitely my 23-year-old daughter’s pride and joy. It’s the top of the line Pontiac Firebird, the Trans Am Ram Air Convertible.
After totaling two second generation Trans...

Pros: speed; looks; cost
Cons: interior; suspension
The GM f-bodies. Namely: Camaro Z28 and SS as well as Firebird Formula and Trans Am. Brothers by birth. Great cars by far. Despite the plummeting sales, and the possibility of GM taking them off of production, these will be some of my favorite sports...

Pros: LS1 engine, body styling
Cons: High operating expense (gas and insurance), somewhat cheap interior
The Bottom Line: If you don't really care about going fast, there are better cars out there. If you love to go fast, this is one of the best values you'll ever find.
I have a 2000 Formula Firebird with the 5.7 liter LS1 V8 and 6-speed manual transmission. I bought it used in fall 2003, with 25,000 miles on the odometer. It's my third f-body (f-body is the GM platform designation for the Camaro/Firebird). My first ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: 320HP, superb handling, agressive look.
Cons: Bad interior design, the body is chunky at slow speeds.
The tastes of the current sports car buyer makes no sense to me. Sure, your Honda or Toyota is more fuel efficient, and it possibly uses an engine that is more dependent on electronics, but who in gods name can go up to their friends and boast about...

Pros: Great engine and acceleration
Cons: Blind spots, no back seat
With all of the muscle cars on the market today I prefer the Pontiac Trans Am. The look and style of the F-body sports car is one that appeals to me in all sorts of ways. Although I don't own a Pontiac Trans Am, I have driven several by way of...

Pros: Very Nice Ride
Cons: none
Firebird base prices range from $18,165 for the base V-6 model to $30,245 for my test Trans Am convertible, which has a power top with a glass window that quickly goes up and down. The rear-wheel drive Firebird has a tight interior for such a big, heavy...

Pros: Flat-out *THE* muscle car to behold. Period.
Cons: Pricey, questionable reliability history
The Firebird has been around since the late 1960s. Through the early 70's it was Pontiac's main if not only musclecar.
Back in 1969, there was only one color option for the debut of the Trans Am, which was the white with dual blue stripe which has...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: 2000 Trans Am - big, bad muscle car
Cons: Skip shift
The Bottom Line: Best fit for me (and I've owned Mustang and 'Vette) - why drive anything else?
Okay, we're biased. Between my wife and I, we are on our seventh Firebird (we both have 2000 Chameleon blue-green Trans Ams).
Down side to these cars? The back seat is sized for munchkins, but that's a small price to pay for near-Corvette...

Pros: Incredibly fun car, great buy for the price
Cons: allegedly soon to be discontinued, possibly too much fun
I have found my inner child, and he's a thirteen-year-old boy. This is a tremendous discovery for someone's mother to make, if you ask me, but I think it's true.
The whole thing started because my old Mazda RX-7 needed work. A lot of work. I...

Pros: fast strong sexy
Cons: bad mileage, not much room
Out of all the cars I've ever driven, I give this one a top rank. It was one of the best things in the world watching people stare at me in these wheels. I don't own this car, but if I had the cash I'd definitely buy it.
My driving...

Pros: styling, stereo, cockpit design and seats
Cons: TIRES, gauge cluster, rear deck configuration
I bought my 2000 'Bird in August at the behest of my wife and two young daughters. (No, really, my wife brought it up and talked me into it.) I had an '86 Firebird SE and absolutely loved it but I figured I'd had my fun and besides, the family needed a...

Pros: High speed performance
Cons: Low speed performance and a few little things
I bought my WS6 Trans Am about a month ago, and before doing so I consulted epinions, so I thought it was time to give something back. There might not be anything here that you can't find in others, but hopefully I'll compile most things you should know...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Ruthlessly sexy look, brutally neckbreaking speed, plenty of options
Cons: Poor driver visibility, no trunk space, no backseat space
The Bottom Line: Excellent affordable sports car. A perfect gift for a son or daughter, or a perfect guilty pleasure to buy at an affordable price.
Today marks the third day that I officially have owned the work of art called the 2000 Pontiac Firebird. I must say, this is one hell of a combination Christmas and 18th Birthday Present. My dad is THE MAN and the Firebird is THE CAR. Please note, the...
