Firebird Q

My Daughter really wants a firebird for her first car. Being a motor head I'm figuring it would be an acceptable option. EXCEPT It has to be a six banger. I need some help here, what years should I consider, what kind of reliability or noteworthy issues should I be aware of. I don't want to drop

10K in this car, in fact I was thinking less than half of that. Maintenance and dependability is also an issue since I have my own problems. (see sig) Thank you for your inputs. Danno

no relation between the Buick designed V-6 and the Chevy classic "small block" V-8. GW

They put the 3.8L in the Firebird until the end. I have a friend who has two 3.8L Firebirds - a '98 and a '00. She has turbos and some other stuff on the '98 and drag races it sometimes at the local strip. I keep trying to talk her into a V8, but she loves her 6's.
