1986 Pontiac Fiero SE review from North America
"Use to cruise not to bruise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch was replaced at 160,000 miles.
Brake calipers rebuilt at 180,000 miles.
A/C compressor replaced at 200,000 miles.
General comments?
The Fiero handles very well and has earned its' respect.
This little 4-cylinder has worked for 18 years and continues to provide me with dependable transportation.
With the right sound system installed, this sporty car makes for the perfect highway cruising car.
After I had restored this vehicle to almost new condition with no major repairs needed, to include that it sat in a lot for two years, the Fiero continues to satisfy the kid in me.
