1987 Pontiac Fiero Base Coupe review from North America
"Great car, I would buy another if I had the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake calipers (when it sits in storage for 4 years something is going to stick).
Poor sound system (upgrading currently).
Replaced plugs and plug wires (had a slight miss due to bad wires and lots of corrosion on the plugs).
New tires needed.
General comments?
I have had my car for about 6 months and nothing has gone wrong with it that wasn't due to sitting in storage for 4 years and just driving.
I turn heads everywhere I go and people think I have an expensive car, and I have only spent about $3,000 with everything I have done to it and purchasing it.
The big sun-roof is a big plus, it's like having a convertible almost.
Even with bald tires and leaky struts the car corners great at high speeds and has almost no body roll.
Great car for customizing.
