1985 Pontiac Fiero SE review from North America
"Handling, Looks, and American Torque!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced all 4 discs and pads.
Rebuilt the calipers.
Changed ignition module.
General comments?
I bought this Fiero to sell, but once I drove it I was hooked. It has awesome torque, and handles like a serious sports car. I've heard all kinds of things about Fieros some good, some bad, but soon enough they will probably be worth money. I wouldn't trade it for any other car. I plan to add a turbo system. Nothing like American Turbo V6 Torque!!! Very cockpit like interior, and very supportive seats. Got to love those plastic non-corroding body panels! it's also great in the winter, despite the rear wheel drive.
