1985 Pontiac Fiero GT from North America - Comments

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.

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.

I agree that the Fiero is an awesome and unique car. I would like to point out that even the 84's and 85's are an excellent value though. I have many Fieros including the early models, and have nothing but Kudos for all years.

Your luck was/is better than most.

Congrats 2 You!

I too own an 85GT, and they are awesome cars. There is not a thing wrong with my baby, plus it is pretty much new considering there is only 23,000 original km's on it. And on top of that, the chicks LOVE my car. I personally think the 85GT is a better looking car then the 88GT. I don't care for the cheap looking rear window effect they tried doing.

Not a thing has broke on my car. Only thing that I needed to do was replace the whole brake system and stick a new muffler on it.

I love my car! It's fast, slick and sporty.

I also own an 1985 GT and agree with you. I really love my Fiero and would much rather have an 85 than an 87 or 88, but I have had many problems with it. My "winter beater" has almost become my "summer cruiser" because I am always working on the Fiero. But don't get me wrong, I love the car.

Scott.

Well, you guys are the lucky few. That, or because you bought the car late, all the others are in junk yards by now. I had the misfortune of buying an 85 Fiero GT in 1987. During the next five years before I could afford to get something else, I had the oil leak/engine fire recall performed as well as three clutch replacements because the engine leaked so bad it soaked the clutch, four fuel pumps (after the third one, the mechanic said to never let the tank get more than half empty, alas his advice did not help, and that went failed too), the ignition module and this was all before it reached 50k miles. It was really fun to drive, but left me stranded six times. Twice on a major freeway. Then I foolishly bought another 1985 GM product. Suffice to say Cadillac in 1985 was almost as bad.
