1986 Pontiac Fiero Sport Coupe review from North America
"Ferrari style, handling, and attention for a fraction of the cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I've had with this car is people constantly asking me if it's a Ferrari, and it gets tiring beating the women away with a stick. lol. Filling it with gas can be a pain, because there's always a few people who want to ask you a million questions.
General comments?
This is an awesome car that unfortunately carries a bad reputation. I have 3 other Fieros at this time and wouldn't get rid of a single one. The handling is on par with a Ferrari from the same era at a fraction of the cost.
I drive this car like it's a race car every time I get into it, and it's never given me a moments trouble. Highly sporty, and highly sexy.
If you just want something to drive from point A to point B, this car isn't for you. If you want to draw attention and have fun driving between points A and B, this is for you.
