1986 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"A great bargain for the $800 price paid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few cracks in the dashboard from heat.
Nothing serious yet.
Just regular maintenance like plugs, filter, and oil.
Brake light stays on along with a some type of warning beep for what I don't know.
Has a bit of a weird idle when started cold like when its first started it acts like it almost dies then gets the RPM back up and then just has an off idle.
General comments?
Steering gets shaky sometimes at higher speeds, not sure what the problem is. I will take in for balancing and alignment to see if that fixes it.
It is a very quick and reliable car so far which is what counts.
May be uncomfortable for people over or around six feet tall.
A/C works great.
Doesn't have any cooling problems.
