1997 Pontiac Firebird BaseReview

Hot, Sporty Little Ride...if It Will Start!!! — It is a hot & sporty little car that has some get up & go. interior controls are very driver friendly, however there is no cargo room and this is definitely not a family car. Low profile, so if you don't like the feeling you are sitting in the road , it is not the car for you. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Very stylish looking, interior controls are driver friendly. I love the way it handles when driving around corners ... I hugs better than Grandma!!!!
Cons:
No cargo space, definitely not a family car & especially if you have a car seat .. The only way to put a car seat in it correctly is to remove the seat cushion(which has been made to remove easily). |

Then we'll be haulin the mail. XD Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Love the style and handling. Cons: Mileage is average. Should have gotten a V8 manual. |

Things Only Last If You Take Care Of Them. — This car was falling apart when i got it. Teh bad thing was that I got it from someone who i thought was a friend. When I changed the oil after buying it It looked like tar oozing out of the bottom of the car.I found out later that the guy drove it to Vegas from Chicago 5 (five) months before i bought it and had yet to change the oil. when i got rid of it a year later I found out the the midshaft bearing ws gone, floor pans were almost rusted through, the driver door sagged, and the aftermarket exhaustwasnt installed properly. I amn sure that if this car were in better shape I would have enjoyed it more. Thanks for letting me waste my time and money Mike. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Performance Cons: everything else |

One Of The Last Of A Dying Breed — This car is awesome to drive. Handling is great, except on snow! I only have a few things to fix, and it will look brand new!! Mileage isn't too bad. I will write more specifics after I've had it awhile. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: It is a looker!! Cons: Traction in the snow! |
