1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula review from North America
"A great dependable 80's 2 seater that weighs next to nothing and is fast as hell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed hydraulic work on the clutch within the first month after I bought it.
Recently backed out of my garage worrying about the rear panels too much that I forgot about the mirror, so I hit the drivers side mirror and broke the bolts off (luckily no damage to the mirror)
General comments?
I was driving around with my girlfriend in the middle of summer recently after my Conquest blew up, and I was driving out towards my grandfathers house. On the right side of the street I was on, were houses going along the side, one of them I saw a beautiful little silver car, I pulled the emergency break and pulled in. My girlfriend was screaming "Tyler what the heck are you doing!" Without responding, I got out of the car and went to look at it, before my very eyes was a Pontiac Fiero, a beautiful 80's 2-seater car that was in immaculate condition. After driving by it over 5 times, I finally went up to the door, and asked how much they were wanting for it, and after them saying only $2500.00 I could not refuse. I bought the car, still own it as of now. It has some power, and is all I need for now, especially with the nice v6 in the back of the car.
From what I've heard, its the fastest and most rarest stock Fiero found even today.
