Picture of 1991 Pontiac Firebird Though not the big TV and movie star that its 1960s, '70s, and '80s predecessors were, the 1991 Pontiac Firebird was still sharp, aggressive, and mean. It was a fun street racer that was also generally affordable and respectable at the gas pump for a sports car. The biggest change in 1991 is the reappearance of a factory-produced convertible. Since 1969, a convertible option was only available as a dealer-installed T-top. Now it was a model in its own right, with the 3.1, 140-hp V6 engine. The 1991 Firebird saw a few cosmetic exterior changes to some of its trims. All got a redesigned front and rear fascia and smaller headlights. The Formula and Trans Am trims received a new spoiler, and the Trans Am and GTA got new taillights. The rear-wheel drive 1991 Firebird also got some engine boosts. The base model still sported a 3.1 V6 rated at 140-hp, but the V8s each got a 5-hp increase. That meant the L03 5.0 V8 was now 175-hp, the LB9 was 205, and the 5.7 V8 hit 240-hp. The Trans Am got new ground effects and bigger 16-inch wheels, while the base model featured a Sport Appearance Package that decked it out in GTA costume, including its ground effects. Firebirds are all about racing-inspired performance, and there are few other reasons why drivers buy them. Most 1991 Firebird drivers are happy with its speed, cornering, sporty handling, and engine power, though they wouldn't mind a bit more boost behind the wheel. They find the interior to be well-laid out, and the style has plenty of attitude without a hefty pricetag. Drawbacks include a tiny backseat that's hard to get out of, low ground clearance, uncomfortable seating for long rides, and noticeable rattlings. Drivers say the 1991 Firebird does not feel safe on wet or snowy roads, and the paint quality is substandard.

GMs greatest creation will forever be the 3rd Generation F-Body, specifically Pontiac Firebirds way more so over Chevy. Axing Pontiac over a crap brand like Buick will forever also be GMs worst mistake

I bought my car new in May 1990 and remain its sole owner/driver. It was my primary car until 1997/1998, where I bought a truck and removed it from the road (difficult - no impossible - to navigate the western PA winter roads). The car has been sitting under a cover in my garage for the past 12-13 years - only about 75,000 mi. I pulled it out about 3 years ago and it fired up almost immediately. I let it idle to get some temp in the engine, shut it down, washed it, and pulled her back into storage. It is my intention to fix the small items (left headlight won't retract, pass door outside handle, hood cylinders need replaced (hood won't remain up unassisted), hood release mechanism needs fixed, want to replace all hoses, plugs, check brakes/fluid, and flush coolant and tranny fluid). Now that I have approached middle age (lol), I intend to only use her for casual driving on nice days. Can't wait fort that first drive !!

It's my first car I built and tuned. I plan on keeping it a daily driver until I'm out of school. I've spent a lot of hours driving and tuning and have learned a lot from it. This car has served its purpose and plan on doing some more tuning later.

This car is a very good car. i have had no major problems with it. it has good acceleration and good handling, it is a solid car, but it rides like a jeep and there is some rattle when you hit big bumps... for a V8 305 the MPG is not that bad around 20 MPG on high/city.if you like the old looking cars than the Apperance is great. sharp, and sleek looking on the inside and out. on the repair side from when i owned this car (going on 2 years) i have had to do some repairs. fuel injectors, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and O2 Sensor. i would recommend this car to a freind.

While back in the day, the firebird's performance was top, today it struggles to keep up with moms grocery getter. Doesn't get good gas mileage. It does get a lot of looks but doesn't have balls to back it up. Styling +1000. However you can pick one up for only $1k-3k. Take 5k and put an LS2 in it and you've got yourself a winner.
