1987 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"The Fiero is an addictive car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car leaks a small amount of oil.
THe exhaust manifold leaks.
The headlight motor died (left side).
General comments?
This is the most fun I've had with any car I have ever owned. The performance is awesome, but the car could use more power. The Fiero needed to have a 200+ horsepower engine option, but it didn't, so that is where engine kits and engine swaps come in. The Fiero was meant to be fast and have power to compliment it's "Ferrariesque" design. However, this car still has power when you need it, and it can definitely hold it's own.
If Pontiac ever comes out with a new mid engine two seater, I would definitely purchase one. There is a reason the Pontiac Fiero has one of the largest followings of any American made sports car. Anybody that has driven a GT or a Formula knows what I'm talking about. This car is a blast to drive.
