1985 Pontiac Fiero Coupe review from North America
"A sleeper of a sports car right now that a select group are aware of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter and then the alternator needed to be replaced as did a few other small things, but again it is almost 20 years old now.
As we own 19 running Fieros of all years and models to date, so that just shows you how nice a car it is to own and maintain for us to end up with that many.
General comments?
The Fiero is a very reliable car.
This '85 is just one great example of how much potential these cars have to be able to almost anything you want to them.
We have some that are strictly stock and some that are customized quite a bit.
We swapped the stock seats for racing seats, added a Pilot steering wheel, roof scoop, side ground effects, changed the front and rear bumpers to a GT set and added a chin spoiler, full interior and exterior under car neon lighting, rear deck lid scoop, hood vents, larger 17" rims by Konig wrapped with Nankang low profile tires, dual LCD/DVD screens, center console sub woofer and a LOT more.

along with the rest of our Fiero fleet.
