1986 Pontiac Fiero SE review from North America
"This car is a great bargain if you are looking for performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drivers seat started to wear badly. I put a low temperature fan switch and thermostat in it.
General comments?
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.
