1985 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America

The retractable headlights did not work when I first bought the car; however a simple and inexpensive rebuild fixed the problem.

Shortly after the car was purchased the coolant fan switch needed to be replaced. Another simple and inexpensive repair.

The Constant Velocity Shaft on the drivers side had to be replaced, as a result in a fracture in the CV joint housing. This repair wasn't cheap, and very difficult to do by yourself, if you don't have the proper tools. *hint *hint.

The only other repairs were normal maintenance items: tires, wires, distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, lubricating the power locks, lubricating the power windows, upgrading the "less than ideal" sound system.

And it needed a good cleaning!!!

I absolutely love the Fiero. The car handles, and runs with the best of them. It has the feel and ride like it's European relatives, but the feel, price, and reliability of it's American brothers. I would recommend the Fiero to anyone who is suffering Camaro, or Corvette withdrawls!! It has the feel, yet a price tag that nearly everyone can afford.

The only problems with the car are the unsatisfactory stock sound system, and the fact that Pontiac doesn't still make the FIERO!!!
