1986 Pontiac Fiero SE review from North America
"Gorgeous car and proud of it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both rear calipers replaced to fix the ebrake.
General comments?
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.
