1985 Pontiac Fiero GT review from North America
"Bring back the Fiero GT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well let me first say I am a Fiero fan all the way!
Things that went wrong... radio never worked right since I owned the car - took it to the dealer, took it to an independent shop - no luck..
Lots of electrical headaches... same as the radio...
Very small oil leak.
General comments?
If you really want a Fiero, make sure all recall work has been done, go for a 87 or 88..(any model), 1988 GT will be the best to own. Use the Internet to find tons and I mean tons of great info on the Fiero. Stay away from 1984/85 Fieros unless you own another car.
