Miles Overview
This is the fourth-generation Firebird, Pontiac's answer to the Mustang and Camaro with a look that still turns heads. The T-tops let the sun in and the exhaust note out, which is half the fun of owning one. The cabin is snug and low-slung, with comfortable seats that fit well but a dashboard that tends to crack over time. Owners mention oil leaks, finicky electrical systems, and T-top seals that can leak as the car ages. The Firebird is the base model, offering the same V8 as the Formula and Trans Am but with simpler trim and fewer standard extras. Its 5.7L V8 makes 285 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive that give it strong straight-line pull and 18 mpg combined. The base Firebird skips the Formula's stiffer suspension and the Trans Am's scoops and spoilers, so the ride is a bit softer and the look is more subdued.
