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.
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.
Wow! We had one of these for 12 years, took several vacations in it (despite the small trunk) and had loads of fun driving it! And yes, it was an attention getter, we have had to explain to people at gas stations what it was too. We were even rear-ended (the car was actually airborne) and it came through with barely a scratch. We also had someone try to steal it in Las Vegas in 1991!!! We have lots of great memories of this car. My husband bought a 2002 Firebird last year, so he sold the Fiero to make room in the garage. I think he misses it more than he will admit. Not that the Firebird isn't fun, it just doesn't have the same feel as the Fiero!! Pontiac should bring this one back!!!
