Miles Overview
The 1981 Firebird is Pontiac's sporty coupe, the one that defined American pony-car attitude in the early '80s. It drives smoothly and stays quiet on the road, yet it's powerful enough that you feel the muscle without it feeling unruly. The cabin is comfortable for its age, with a clean, sporty layout that still feels special to sit in. Owners say the car is generally reliable, with most issues being cosmetic and easy to fix over time. The Formula trades the Trans Am's flashier bodywork and hood scoop for a cleaner look and a lower price, but it still has the same V8 punch. Its 5.0L V8 gives the Formula real muscle off the line, and with rear-wheel drive the rear end steps out eagerly if you ask it to. The Formula's firmer suspension tuning means it corners flatter than a base Firebird, but you'll feel the bumps more on rough pavement.
