1989 Pontiac Firebird User Reviews

My First Car And I Don't Ever Want To Sell It. — Acceleration is pretty impressive now that I've tweaked my transmission. The brakes need some work. I think one of the lines gets pinched every once in a while. The only thing that broke in my 5 years of ownership was the starter. It is extremely aerodynamic and for being an 89 the styling makes it look like an older muscle car in my opinion. It only cost me 1,600 bucks when I bought it and it gets like 21mpg. It's one of the funnest cars I've ever driven.

Need To Buy Another One Of These Someday — excellent potential w/ the Formula package. Needs sub-frame connectors, a better posi-track, bigger sway bars, and lower it about 2'' Excellent design by GM, the usual squeaks and rattles you expect. However all things aside this car is very nice to drive

Third Generation Pontiac Firebrid — Love this car. Great performance from the 305 V8 engine with 225lbs of torque, TBI electronic fuel injection, fast-burn combustion chambers and high-energy ignition. Solid build, few problems. I like the aerodynamic looks of this car. The third generation Firebird was ahead of its time with a 0.299 (Cd) Coefficient of drag. This is a fun to drive car: t-top and after 20 years it still turns heads. It has a 4 speed automatic transmission. Power windows, power mirrors and locks, cruise control Acceleration: 0-60: 6.9 seconds Modifications and upgrades: 3" Borla Cat-back stainless steel exhaust system, custom made seat covers, new headliner, new water pump, hypertech performance chip, K&N filtercharger Air Filter, New transmission mount, new rear shocks, new front and rear sway bar links, new rear brake drums, new radiator hoses.

My Firebird — uhm...i'm just gonna say, it needs work. but i love my car otherwise. :) wierd how the sunroof is powered but the door windows aren't. there are alot of squeaks and rattles, my CAT converter just went, uhmmmmmm when my belt broke it bent my pulley system, its sometimes difficult to turn the steering wheel. but thats what you get when you have used parts from the junk yard ;)
