1985 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"Very cute and sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speakers fade from one side to the other. (Replacing them.)
Starting to burn oil through the valves.
Gas tank seems to be small, not sure though.
No air conditioning, it's a black car so it gets very hot in the summer.
Sunroof (manual) is difficult to deal with, you have to jiggle it just right to close it properly.
Sunroof lining beginning to deteriorate.
No power steering, so parking is a bit of a hassle at times.
Car is low to the ground so I may be forced to park it over the winter.
I bought it used, so I am not sure if there was something to prop up the trunk lid (back), so in the mean time I have to hold it.
General comments?
The car has good pickup and is quite fast.
Sounds more powerful than it actually is.
Not very practical (two seater), but still awesome to drive.
Handles corners awesome, as there is no power steering. I love it!
Very low to the ground so in general you can drive fast and not flip the thing!
