Several things can be said about the Pontiac Firebird series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The six-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.
Under the Hood
Pontiac Firebird Engine Specs: The Firebird Base comes outfitted with a Buick 3.8 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is mated to a four-speed transmission by General Motors. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Pontiac.
The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Firebird uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The Firebird is 193.30 inches long, 74.40 inches wide, and 51.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 101.10 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $20,050 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $18,346. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2002 Firebird is a SFI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 16.80 gallons.
The 2002 Firebird gets 30 - 31 miles/gallon on the highway and only 19 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.
What We Think of the Pontiac Firebird
There are several reasons why the Pontiac Firebird Base sold well in 2002. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Pontiac, specifically a Firebird.
