I bought my firebird from a friend from high school, and it was a daily driver for one summer. The car is very quick, and the clutch is easy to operate. I've had it up to 107mph before the front end started shaking, so it needs a little suspension and alignment work. However, it's very fun, especially since you can remove the t-tops in the warmer weather. It's in storage now, but when it's on the road it turns heads.

Love it. 350 small block, 5.7L of pure power TBI original 1989 show room floor model. Haven't had any problems but with only one other owner and 66,000 original miles...one can't complain. American Muscle at its finest!!! Is one of the fastest cars over driven. Smokes out Mustangs and a few Cameros. Maintenance is easy and there's plenty of room in the engine for just about any modifications you want to add.

I love the car, it's been pretty reliable. Probably the most reliable car I've bought. There's tons of parts out there for them to make them plenty powerful. I've always enjoyed driving it, especially since I changed up the suspension. My only problems I would say with it is exhaust routing and bigger brakes would be good.

Bought this car three years ago from my cousin and have loved her ever since. The 305 V8 is an excellent motor for this vehicle. Even with 160,000 miles, I still got 23 miles to the gallon on the highway and have pushed it to 115 mph before. The steering and suspension is excellent as long as everything is connected. It had been in an accident before I purchased it, and even with a 2 foot hole in the side, it still drove excellent. Had to replace the rear end due to some donut fun (chipped the spider gears), but still drove, only had one time when it failed me and that is when the cat got plugged up. I think that the unibody choice for this car provides more difficult and more expensive cosmetic repairs due to cutting, bending, and welding the metal, but what ya gonna do. All in all, I love this car and would never give her up.

I am writing this review for my 2.8 Liter automatic 1989 Firebird. Driving this vehicle has given me some very mixed feelings. First off the performance of the 2.8 Liter is a joke, the car is horrible underpowered with its tiny 6 cylinder engine. The transmission and the engine work well together but the car is starved for power especially when compared to its v8 counterpart. The ride is rough since the car is so low to the ground, it almost has a truck like feel to it. The truck like feel does not apply to handling though, since this car has such a low and wide stance it takes corners with no hesitation which can be a blast on the right roads. The comfort as far as the interior goes is ok if your in front and hellish if you are ever unfortunate enough to have to sit in the rear of one of these cars. Exterior-wise this car is a classic I mean how can you see a Firebird and not have 80's flashbacks? All in all I would recommend the V8 bird and live with the gas prices, it would be a much funner car and more worth my time.
