1986 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"Very enjoyable experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace a Water Pump at 75k
Replaced Brakes When I bought it.
Seats need to be redone
Paint needs to be redone (fading)
Brakes are not the best in the world, need to really watch your distance between vehicles.
General comments?
This car has been my daily commuter. It has been Extremely reliable for me.
Would have been nice to have a 3.4 in it, but that might be the next conversion I do. Compared to today's cars this car is very under powered.
