Was Beaten Down After 244,000kms To Much Rust On The Undercarriage — Too much rust repair required to safety it, so I parted it out for my current fiero. Great looking car, Great Power, Bad Brakes. If You can find one that hasn't been driven for 22 winters than It'll impress you. The fact that the only cars I've ever owned are fieros shows how great they are. Pros: Looks, Power, Sound, Handling, Cool factor, Parts Avail. Cons: Brakes, Rust(Hidden), Abused By previous owner. |

Why Dont They Still Make These? — my first car (2M6) has got to be my favorite even though it is 3 years older than me. this car has and emaculant exterior for a car of twenty one years and has only one little nick on the hood interior is pretty clean. I keep it in show car conditon through the summer everything is stock except the motor i bought the car with a worn out 2.8 V6 we replaced the motor with a brand new jasper engine with 175 horses on the hood or trunk i might say. i plan to keep this car as long as i live and will probably put a chevy small block in it or possible an LS1 in it someday. Pros: fast, very sporty looking, good potential sleeper, has lots of power potential Cons: little stuff goes wrong with it but thats expected with any car. |

The Pinacle In Automotive Engineering — The car had been sitting in a lemon lot for 2 years and I needed cheap transportation to a new job so I picked it up for 600 bones. The concept of the car is pretty sweet; 5 speed trans matched up with a 4 cylinder economy motor that boasted 130 hp factory output at 25 mpg. However the car was of course a lemon and after a month of driving it, the clutch went out, putting me in a 2000 dollar prediciment. So I sold it to the first person wh would take it for 750, so I didnt make out too bad. Pros: Rear wheel drive, good pickup, fun to drive, great for donuts, all plastic body panels! removable sun roof, sporty. Cons: Junk off the assembly line, a complete writeoff by Pontiac, its only rare because a good percentage of the cars cought fire while parked after a long drive. Mechanics nightmare, the exhaust system is stacked under the rear wheel axles, and those are under the oil pan and clutch, wich makes changing the oil, clutch, or rear axles near impossible without spending over 1500. |

Fun Car To Drive — Bought this car brand new, drove it from Ottawa to Vancouver in 1989 when I moved out here. First car that I let my son drive when he was 11, mind you it was in a deserted parking lot at the shopping mall. Pros: Very quick and agile, excellent braking. Cons: Got tired of climbing in and out, as with any low slung car. |

Pontiac's Feeble Attempt At A Mid-engine Car = Fail — Lightweight, plastic body, mid-engine design. roomy interior for a 2 seater. Handled well and nimble. Typical Pontiac problems: Rebuilt Engine, Rebuilt Tranny, Engine bay too tight to allow the 2.8L V6 to breathe = overheating. Trunk space almost non-existant, no airbags, no ABS. So-so power = 135 HP from the V6, Forced to get an auto trans, since Pontiac sucks at making Manual Transmissions. Poor resale value. Unfortunately, my Fiero GT didn't have the rear spoiler, which it needed to make the car look more sporty. Not a reliable car, I should have listened to Dad and bought a Grand Am...Hell, even a Firebird would have been better!! VERYglad that Pontiac is NOW out of business! Good Riddance! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Lightweight, plastic body, mid-engine design. roomy interior for a 2 seater. Handled well and nimble. Cons: Typical Pontiac problems: Rebuilt Engine, Rebuilt Tranny, Engine bay too tight to allow the 2.8L V6 to breathe = overheating. Trunk space almost non-existant, no airbags, no ABS.

The Best Choice For A First Car Anyone Can Make. — I love my car. The performance is impressive and the styling is awesome. The body is made out of super-light fiberglass, which helps handling considerably. I love the comfortable bucket seats and the controls on the interior. The gas mileage is okay thanks to the light body. It's six cylinder engine has an automatic transmission which makes it easy to drive. Overall I love my car and will keep it for many years. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: It's fun, comfortable, and cheap. Cons: none |

Small, Fast, Agile Car Built For Fun, Yet Less Expensive Than Foreign Sports Cars! By Richard
I don't think I've mentioned how safe the Fiero is, but with its wide stance and agile cornering it's not very apt to turn over due to its low center of gravity even at higher speeds. Even though the ... Read More
Not Practical Or Economical, But She Has The Look And The History For A Gearhead To Restore. By Joshua
I found this car, and picked it up for the low price of 900 bucks a year ago. It's an old car, so I shall judge it accordingly. Power-wise, it is pretty low for a vintage sportscar, but the rear... Read More

Great Looks On Gt But Sorry Performance From Gm And Poor Reliability Simply Killed It. By USA2seaters

Fieros Are Getting Old, And You Need To Know How To Work On Them, Because Things Constantly Wear Out By Charles
Fieros are fun to drive because of the handling. They are great on twisty roads. I get 22 mpg, which isn't great, but not bad either. Many owners swap the engine to something more powerful, but min... Read More
