1987 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"A rare speedster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heats up quickly.. so have enough coolant if you live in California!
General comments?
A first time to drive a mid-engined sports car (where's the Porsche and Ferrari?) and it just felt solid on turns, 10/10 auto transmission, near zero body roll, and you get to the speed limited 120 MPH with no sweat.
The suspension, judging from these bad Massachusetts roads, is awesome and a bit firm. The car growls with a usual American feel and this baby can smoke most 2.8 liter imports.
Truly reliable, truly fast and executes lots of torque at only 2500 RPM. Just one question...
What was Pontiac thinking when they discontinued the Fiero? A true challenger to the other popular mid-engine, the Porsche... remember one thing.. buckle up and expect speeding tickets!
