1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula review from North America
"A fuel efficient super car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only small things that will go wrong with any 15 year old car. I eventually replaced the motor for the performance benefit.
General comments?
With the 3.5 Liter V6 it makes it one of the fastest accelerating, best handling cars on the road. It eats new Mustang GTs for dinner and handles with an NSX.
