1986 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"A little known sports car bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a bad connection at the oxygen sensor.
General comments?
This car handles like many exotic sports cars I've driven.
Due to the mid-engine design, it launches from a dead stop like few other cars. Almost all weight is transfered to the rear wheels and prevents undue spinning.
The seats are very comfortable and support you well in sharp cornering.
