1986 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"The most unique reasonably priced car on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal maintenance... brake pads, tires, shocks, struts, O2 sensor.
Water pump was replaced several years ago.
I replaced the clutch myself this summer. It was a relatively difficult job, but there is an abundance of support available, and parts are VERY inexpensive and highly available.
General comments?
An extremely fun car to drive & own.
Very inexpensive to maintain. Many parts still available from dealers, and there is strong after-market support.
Very good handling, good gas mileage, and adequate performance.
The benefits of plastic body panels go without saying.
The newest Fiero available is now 13 years old, yet many still look like new.
