1985 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"Cheap, fast, fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After one year of track drag racing and auto crossing the clutch master cyc. blew a seal, the egr tube broke, and the second gear sycro has given out. I have not had any problems with it in its second year and part of the third year.
General comments?
The car handles great for the low price paid.
The car can handle many newer cars up to 60 mph.
The car has nearly unlimited upgrades if you know where to look.
The parts are still easy to find.
