Nice Mr Sport Car — This car is pretty unique nowadays. It`s realy nice mid-engined sport car with 2.8 liter V6 engine and 5 speed transaxle.Original suspension system is so called VS6, but im going to retrofit coil-over suspension anyway car is good handling.In my case there is only little need repairs.Apperance interior simple, little sporting look gauge panel, exterior you like it or not. I think it`s sporting look and I like it a lot. |

My 1988 Fiero Gt — I have wanted a Fiero since they first came out in 1984. Finally in the summer of 2008 I got my dream car. I always wanted a sportscar and for a man on a budget the Fiero is a good choice. The 1988 GT model is a true sports car. Mid-engine V6, sexy sounding exhaust system, classic sports car looks like it is going fast sitting still. I drive the car to work everyday. Interior is simple and sporty with all the right gauges. People complain about the power but I think my Fiero has great pickup and accelleration. I have no complaints about the engine. I get about 16 miles per gallon in town and 20 plus highway. I think the car looks great and is a blast to drive, especially on hilly curves. I even get waves from Corvette owners. |

I Love This Car, I Love Driving It, I Love Looking At It, I Love Pretty Much Everything About It. — Performance: It is a light car with a V6 so it feels quick and corners like no other because it has a low center of gravity and 50/50 weight distribution with its mid-engine design. Compared to cars of the 80s it is up there but compared to modern cars, it is still a strong cornering car, but lacks in horse power. Build quality is that of an 80s GM. It has aggressive styling and head turning good looks. Gets pretty decent gas mileage for a sports car, 27 hwy if you are easy on it. I probably average around 22. It is definetely the funnest car I have owned. I have driven more powerful cars, but the handling is second to none, which makes it feel faster. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Still One Of The Sexyests Cars On The Road Even After Almost 30 Years — These are fun to drive. As with any car there are issues but nothing that can't be improved or corrected. This particular cars only real flaw is the t-top roof, I am just not a big fan of the t-tops. There is no rust at 142K miles it must have spent most winters in storage. It is a 4 cyl. 5 spd. so the mileage is great. And even with only 95hp. it is still quick enough to get me all the speeding tickets I would ever want. Primary Use: Family transportation |

1988 Fiero Formula — I honestly love it. The body design, the sound of it, and the handling. There's really nothing else like it on the road today. The only thing it needs is more power in the engine department. The 2.8V6 is too wimpy for the look of the car, but an engine swap will take care of that nicely. The brakes are great, huge improvement over previous years of Fiero. My car is definitely a lower-mileage survivor, with only 88,000 miles on the clock. It still manages to get about 20 - 23 MPG highway while being 20 years old. Parts are easy to find and cheap to fix it, and it isn't as hard to work on as people make it out to be. Personally, I love the car and plan on buying a few more to toy with! |

Nothing At This Time — The car looks really great for an 88. I've always thought they were sporty. I had to fix a lot of electrical problems when I first got it. Still have a few fuel issues to deal with. But, all in all I do like the car so I don't really mind. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

1988 Pontiac Fiero GT Review
ProsThe car handles better than anything I have ever driven. It takes turns 20 miles an hour faster than any of my other cars, it daintily sipped gas, and looked great. ConsIt over heated all the time, like every 20 minutes, going slower than 20 means the lack of power steering had an effect so it sucked. It was ridiculous to get into since you sit 3 inches off the ground, felt cool though, and the 145HP V6 was pathetic.. It could handle well but accelerated like a bus.

My Reasonable Little Wannabe Super Car. "ambitious But Rubbish"- Top Gear — I loved how easily this car tamed the back roads of West Virginia and Ohio, it made me feel one with the car, and really let met push it with no fighting back. I could have pushed the car beyond it's limits and it would have forgiven me. The car was amazing to own. However, after a bit, the intake gasket melted and I couldn't afford to fix it. That's what I got for being a lazy High school student with no job. Oh well. This car is the epitome of a supercar, without the price of one. It breaks down all the time, nothing works on it, but when you drive it, you really drive it... For ten minutes, then it overheats. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Innovative American Car — Back in the day, the 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT was the only Fiero worth owning and Road & Track magazine said it would become a car classic and become worth $100,000 in a few years. When so lady smashed me and it was declared "totaled" the insurance company had a different opinion on it's value. ; ( Primary Use: Commuting to work |
