Advantages: Power, style, and so very FUN to drive! Disadvantages: Rear wheel drive makes snow and ice hazardous.
The Pontiac Firebird Convertible was a blast to drive and own! It's powerful accellerations, along with the top down, felt like a real luxury. This car is perfect for people who love the wind in their hair, and the open road.

Best for a lone driver, or driver and one passenger. But again, if you already own a reliable all weather, larger vehicle, and are looking for a second, fun, sporty car, the Firebird Convertible is PERFECT!

The Pontiac Firebird Convertible was a blast to drive and own! It's powerful accellerations, along with the top down, felt like a real luxury. This car is perfect for people who love the wind in their hair, and the open road. Best for places with warm weather year round, and not made to be a family car, the Firebird is perfect for one or two people in warm climates. It is also ideal as a second vehicle for any person or family. You should own a more reliable means of transport first, though, for bad weather and for transporting more than 4 people. The back seat is small, so 4 in the car is not really comfortable. Best for a lone driver, or driver and one passenger. But again, if you already own a reliable all weather, larger vehicle, and are looking for a second, fun, sporty car, the Firebird Convertible is PERFECT!
The Firebird's maintenance costs or lower than other sports convertibles. Examples: Camaro headlights cost me 25.00 each, Firebird headlights were 10.00. Camaro serpentine belt was 70.00, Firebird belt was 50.00. Camaro high performance tires were 150.00 each, Firebird high performance tires were 100.00 each. The Firebird allows the driver fun and freedom. It's sharp design and build looks great with the top down or up. It is like owning two seperate cars in one! I will buy another soon, as my second car. We will always have one convertible now. Once you have experienced the top down on a mild warm day, you long for summer all year round!
Advantages: comfort, handling, power, gorgeous looks and finish Disadvantages: None. Not a darn thing wrong with it!
PontiacFirebird Ram Air 400 (6.6L) which cannot be beat for that purpose. The BMW is out of the question for me.
Yamaha R1: This is a fast bike, with little wind protection, and rigidly painful after only 20 miles of driving. Unless you're looking to race at the expense for comfort, this bike really makes little sense. For cruising around the Berkeley / Oakland hills it is fun, but after that I found it exhausting.
VFR 800: Everyone loves this bike, so I tried it new. I didn't like it at all. It was too fat, and had what seemed to be much less power than the beefy 118 hp of the Triumph Sprint ST. The VFR seemed heavier and felt a bit closer to the BMW tourers than I prefer. I did not want an official touring bike, which is how I would describe the VFR. It's a great bike in general, but just not as comfortable or as fast ...
Advantages: Great look, good HP, Great interior Disadvantages: None at this time
roof with a removable, locking sunshade. Plus you can pull the top down on the convertable models.
Misc:
There are many types of firebirds. These inlcude the Firebird Coupe, FirebirdConvertible, Formula Coupe, Trans Am Coupe, and Trans Am Convertible. The PontiacFirebird's is a great car for driving around and showing off your looks.
Plus its a nice hit with the ladies. Anyways, the legacy of the firebird goes back extremly far. There are four generations of the firebird, all which are beautiful cars if they are taken car of. I have an uncle who owns one of each generation of the firebirds and not once have they let him down. All the cars from each generation has its own personl look and feel. These cars are popular at car shows and such. So if your looking for a nice car to buy that is reliable and great looking this is right ...
