1986 Pontiac Fiero Reviews - Page 9 of 9

Normal maintenance... brake pads, tires, shocks, struts, O2 sensor.

Water pump was replaced several years ago.

I replaced the clutch myself this summer. It was a relatively difficult job, but there is an abundance of support available, and parts are VERY inexpensive and highly available.

An extremely fun car to drive & own.

Very inexpensive to maintain. Many parts still available from dealers, and there is strong after-market support.

Very good handling, good gas mileage, and adequate performance.

The benefits of plastic body panels go without saying.

The newest Fiero available is now 13 years old, yet many still look like new.

The headlight motors age poorly and need to be rebuilt.

The motor mounts in this thing tend to wear out quickly given the little stress placed on them by the four banger.

The back of driver's seat wears out quickly.

The engine had to be rebuilt at only 85,000 miles, due to a bad rod bearing.

The windshield wipers behave strangely. They are tricky to get into the off position without having an intermittent sweep.

The interior is kind of melted looking.

I have a love/hate relationship with this car.

I love it except during its frequent bad behavior spells.

This car is not very fast, but it handles like it's on rails.

Gotta love that gas mileage (30+ in town and 35+ on the highway).

A real good looking car.

The styling is much more modern. People sometimes think it was made in the mid 90s.

The drivers seat started to wear badly. I put a low temperature fan switch and thermostat in it.

This car is seriously quick and handles like a dream. Some people say that fieros run low 16's in the quarter mile, but that's a lie. I've seen stock 2.8 V6 fieros run in the high 14's. However there is not much room to upgrade the stereo system.

Normal maintenance items.

Ferrari like looks, yet GM parts prices.

Both rear calipers replaced to fix the ebrake.

Only cars out there I would even consider getting to replace this one are all over $60k. You know, Porsche, Ferrari, stuff like that. My car looks completely stock and is still a head turner. I love it, and I'm not giving it up until I drive it into the ground.

This car is impossible not to have fun with. You get this urge to fly around every corner you find. 3 of my friends have cars less then 2 years old and they still want to ride in my 15 year old car on a regular basis.

I paid $2400US for it, paid $300 for state inspection, and now have my dream car in the garage. I haven't put a penny into it since I bought it (minus gas and oil of course).

Anyone who dreams of getting a Porsche after they get filthy stinking rich, try this little car out first.
