1985 Pontiac Fiero SE review from North America
"Tons of fun!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hydraulic clutch line failed at 60,000 miles.
New clutch at 61,000 miles.
New rear axle at 62000 miles.
General comments?
This little car is just a toy. It's not my primary vehicle. Used only in the summer and stored in the winter.
Handles very well with decent acceleration for 4 Cly.
Also very easy to work on. Parts are cheap and easy to find as it shares many components with other GM cars of it's day.
Still turns heads.
