1984 Pontiac Tempest GT review from North America
"Definitely worth every penny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats and headliner are shredded (in process of replacing).
Air conditioning system died last year.
Headlight motors died about 4 years ago.
General comments?
In the 18 years that I've had my Fiero, it has never once let me down. The car has been cross-country on three occasions and has always performed exceptionally.
With almost 200,000 miles on the odometer, I guess it's just to be expected that she's looking a little rough around the edges.
