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. |

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! |

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 |

Prosmid engine, slow center of gravity handles like its on rails, always a good time Constakes some work to make a good everyday reliable driver, overheats due to radiator in front and engine in back

Recommend To Anyone Who Wants One — Its fun to drive, looks cool, sounds great and doesnt break teh bank to keep running. Great on gas mileage and comfortable to drive for a long distance trip even as a manual transmission. I would recommend for a daily driver in nice weather, snow is not much fun in this car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
