1986 Pontiac Fiero Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The original plastic car, America's attempt at a ferarri copy gone horribly wrong

I love my Fiero. It is the best Mid engine car under 5k. It is quick and handles really well. Overall it is a blast to drive. Because there are not many Fiero's left they are unique and turn heads. However do not get one if you are not willing to do alot of work on it yourself or have. Like any 20 year old sports car it neds constant work.

Fun car to drive easy to work on. loads of aftermarket parts. only complaint is lack of power from standard motor.

for what i got it for (1600$) it has been worth every penny. very good mileage, and fun to drive. acceleration is moderate cause its only a 4cyl, but mileage is amazing even for how old it is and the clutch and shifter (although very tall compared to other manuals) work very smoothly. braking is also good as well as it handling, maybe some proper suspension to make it better but for what is has it suffices. and you can park almost anywhere, very small and manuverable Ive only had to work slightly on the car, mainly flushing the coolant system, replacing the valve cover gasket, and starter, and changing the oil, but those have been easy fixes and i enjoyed working on those. the only frustrating problem like i said are the head lights as mentioned above. and even though the radio works...... the cassette player doesnt. i am so disappointed that i cant listen to my old van halen cassettes. In the future though, i am thinking of fitting a chevy 350 in the back with a supercharger (if not that then at least the GT model V6 with a supercharger) and replacing the suspension with that of a corvette's and replacing the interior. Im hoping to keep her running as long as i can. hopefully i can pass it down to my kids one day (after i pass of course haha)

I like that you can go at least two weeks without burning too much gas. I like the size which makes it easy to clean which is not time consuming. It has a very good take off from a complete stop so if you need to make a lane change that get up and go thing is nice.

Its unique. It handles ok and the engine on it runs decent. with added turbo and a better suspension (I recommend eibach) it is a beast on the track. For anyone looking for a head-turner, get a fiero. and also the interior tends to tear up esily.

I loved this car. 2M4 with a 5 speed tranny. So much fun for 90 HP / 134 LBs of Torque. Great gas mileage. I will own one again someday. Some of my best car stories are due to my Fiero. I dated my wife with my Fiero. I drove the highest sustained speed in my Fiero ( Charlestown WV to Morgantown WV in 1 hr 5 Min to cover 115 Miles {according to the sign}).

great sports car, lots of power, great handleing, although the brakes a little scary, i give the car 4/5.

Owned the car for several years. Only issue that I had the the car was the radiator and the clutch. Other than that. It had nice proformance for the price.

I love this model but feel it is very over priced. This car is In League of it own

This was a fun little two seater, although my girlfriend (now my wife) hated this car because it did not have power steering. There also wasn't much trunk space. The six-banger with dual exhaust had lots of power to move this little car, and with the centre of gravity almost at ground level it handled like it was on rails. I loved driving it, but unfortunately it wasn't at all practical, so it had to be traded in. The only problems I ever had with it had to do with the flip up headlights - one of them got stuck open and the actuator had to be replaced.

Great car, Gonna race it at SCCA Auto Cross Events. Paint Sucks but the cars runs great. Gonna fix it up a bit and make it look nice. Its a Fun car, Quick off the line with the 4 Speed. I love it so far.

I love everything about it, but have never driven it. I wanted one in 1990 and never got one, I was just in the air force and test drove one, got hooked. Now I want to make a good gas mileage car with a little performance.

It runs pretty darn well even after two wrecks! Hey the gas mileage has never been better!

Not a bad ride it's kinda like a go cart with windows. I had to put an engine in it and actually wasent that big of a deal. I like the MPGs too at an average of 25 curently. Oh yeah the best of all it the tons of option for installing anything from a v8 to a turbo i4.

OK....I'll admit it. I owned a Fiero. I bought it from a friends son, who had decided he had outgrown it. That in itself should have been a warning..... Actually, I bought it for my daughter because we had two cars already and the insurance company was going to list my son as the operator, so the car went in Vicki's name. SHE loved it. She didn't have to fix the blasted thing. Wildest memory - the heater core exploding in a cloud of green coolant and vapor that covered the windows (and me) with hot green fog, all while I was doing about 65 kph in the middle of the afternoon on Van Horne Avenue in Dryden. OR - the transmission coolant line breaking in two and dumping all of the trans fluid on the ground at 2 am when my son and his date were 40 k from town. Each and every month, we could count on the little red plastic-fantastic to cost about 150 in bits, pieces, fluids or labor. But....it was fun to drive. Sold it to a guy who was going to put a Ferrari kit body on it. Then he discovered the engine's appetite for oil. Last heard of rotting in a field, alongside two others.

Sporty, quick, best car for the money I spent

lots of fun to drive, fairly small though, no truck space, two seater but it's not that bad, they run great and are fast, i didn't own, i only drove but i was thinking about buying one. high top speed, quick acceleration, fun in a manual, i want to drive again

fun,fast,full of zip and a head turner.
