My alternator stopped working at 90,000 miles as well as the starter. Changed both in about an hour.
Seats became torn at about 110,000 miles.
Paint starting to fade from being stored too long and age.
A great car with a great feel to it.
Handles the northeast roads with no problem until the snow flies.
The cabin is quite comfortable for the quick trip to the store a jaunt across the state.
The car sat for four years before I purchased it. Ran it for 2 years before storing it once again. Now 8 years later it is once again out of storage and ready to hit the highways once again.
Never needed more than general maintenance and a few other inexpensive parts. A true testament to Pontiac engineering.
Back into production?
It will never happen.
The upcoming Pontiac Solstice will fill the void left by the Fiero.
As well as being much better looking.
I recently purchased my fiero and I don't know how I got along with out it.
This car gets the holeshot without even trying to race, did I mention 31 mpg with 133,000 miles if you don't own one whats wrong with you?
I had an 87 SE. It was an awful car. Yes it was beautiful and very comfortable, but it was not at all reliable. I had a minor engine fire, which fortunately I was able to put out because I always travel with a fire extinguisher. The brakes were not what I would call good and I found the suspension to be very stiff. All in all I would say it was GM's one big mistake.
The sleek Fiero GT was one of the best looking cars ever built. To compare it to the dorky Solstice is like comparing a Ferrari to a Miata.
I've owned 2 Fiero'a and loved them both despite their flaws. As for the Solstice wait till the 260 HP GXP comes out in '07 I dare you to call it dorky.
