1986 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"Import car gas mileage, but Ferrari performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rack and pinion needed replacing at 100,000 miles.
The engine spun a bearing at 125,000 miles.
The power window motors are slow.
General comments?
This is an extremely fast car and has remarkable maneuverability.
In my opinion it needs a bigger factory engine.
Make sure you are financially sound before purchasing a Fiero.
