Fiero Gt — What sits lower than a corvette and has an ecofriendly engine that will scare the pants off you? A fiero gt of course. I drove one of these and man they are quick. If you want a car that has performance style like a porsche with less than half the price this is the car for you. Don't misunderstand me porsches outperform these easy but they mimic the style of a porsche. Super fast and great on gas. It will go if you can shift fast enough. Just dont get in an accident or this will be your plastic grave.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

A Rarity Worth Finding — One of the more rare sports cars in existence. My dad owns one and it is a great drive. The interior is really great and gives a ride that rivals a Ferrari of the same year.

Fieros Aren't That Bad To Drive — When I got the car in the mid 90's it was kinda rare. I remember people constantly asking me "you're still alive" when I told them what I drove. The thing is the problems the car is known for are people being idiots and not taking care of the car. I really did love the car and was sorry to lose it.

Handling. The car can take some pretty tight turns at high speeds.

Engine. The base four cylinder engine has only 100 horsepower.

Has Issues, But What 20 Year Old Car Doesn't? — This is my first car and, though it breaks quite often, I feel that is because the previous owners abused it. I view myself as the "redeemer" of this car. I am slowly restoring it to original condition.

Pros

I like the design-very creative. It has a v6, it's in great condition, it has a butt-load of interior upgrades, and etc.

Cons

The engine idles-bad. The cooling fan doesn't run unless I have the A/C on, the E-brake doesn't work, both of the sails need to be replaced, some of the gauges aren't properly working, and one of the fenders needs to be replaced.

Nice Design, Very Nice Interior, And I Good "teen" Car. — I needed a secondary car besides my Corvette-one that runs lol. Knowing myself, I will not settle for a car that is not sporty and doesn't have decent performance. However, I needed something affordable and this seemed to fit the bill. I got this car knowing that it has some minor problems that I listed in the cons. Overall, I don't think that it's the best, but it definitely ain't bad. I'm happy with it. =]

Amazing Handling. Very low to the ground so not much chance of rolling.

Cons

The stock V6 with 135 horsepower is nice and all but I'm ready for something faster.

Little Fiero From L.a. — This car is a real head turner. Its got a custom made front bumper designed as compensation for no spoiler. Its painted Millennium Corvette Yellow. The interior is all original with an all professional audio upgrade with a 10" sub where the center console was. It has LED show lights on the inside also.

I like the style, the smoothe ride, the great balance, and awesome handling.

Cons

Finding a good mechanic thats willing to help or even knows how is a big challenge in my area.

Very Fun. Very Responsive. — I realy like this fiero. The GT fastback style is a very sporty look. I also like that i very rarely see another one on the road or even sitting in someone yard. They are a rare car and a challenge. And for a sports car what more do you need for a reason to own one.

Lots Of Fun And Only Good As A Recreational Driver — Bought as a summer driver to help save fuel. 160 hp doesnt seem like much but when your car only weighs 2700 lbs, its actually pretty quick. has the 282 5-speed muncie getrag transmission in it. not a bad trans but sometime the gears seem too close together and can easily be missed.

So Much Fun!!!!!!!!! — Great handling. Needs a better engine and trans. Planning on fixing that when I get the chance. Had to fix a few things, but was going to anyway and it keeps me busy and out of trouble. Car looks great. Excellent condition considering the price. Not sure about cost of MPG's and such. Havn't driven it much between fixes. So much fun to drive though.

For The Most Part It's An Amazing Part, But When Things Go Wrong I Hope You Can Find Parts — It's a manual, nuff said about acceleration. braking and handling is a dream. it has needed a few repairs but thats mostly just from old age. the car looks and feels great. the only down side is that when they did the paint. they didn't do it properly so my paint is chipping badly. whether it's just mine or not i'm not sure. it's pretty good on gas and you can usually find a fiero for around three grand. over all the car is fun to drive and worth the work for the parts
