  • So did this episode change your mind at all on the Fiero? Is it under-rated? Over-rated? Still a fire hazard? Let me know! If you've owned one, I want to hear about it! If you want one now...I wanna hear about it!

    • Donut Media proud 1988 GT owner here. I have owned one or another of these from the 84 four cylinder to my current (nearly) topped out 88GT. I would say for the most part Fiero were under rated. They were priced on average around a well equipped CRX or Corolla/Tercel but punched WELL ABOVE their weight. Consider the 0-60 times of then sports cars like 300ZX and RX-7’s. ... and all at a more reasonable maintenance price of local American Yankee-Doodle value!

Growing up Pontiac always had some cool cars & I remember growing up in the 80s loving the Fiero as it was very Ferrari like & Magnum P.I. had a Ferrari, but I remember most adults thinking they were a joke. Rear engine, plastic, & so little. Wouldn't mind getting one to play around with.

  • Just stumbled across the channel, been watching a few videos, had to see if you covered the Fiero. My old man passed away this year and I received his Fiero that he drove for 20 years. For some reason he loved this strange, tragic Frankencar. I don't have the cash to restore the thing, but it's one of the few things I have to keep connected to him and I've developed a love for it as well.

It was fun to drive, but had 80,000 mile rated Firestones on it. Slid like a banshee. We had soooo many issues with the engine, in the shop 3 times till we had no money to put into it. My wife's father eventually bought it to fix it up, but ended up selling it later. I would love to get a restored one, but the GT instead of the first gen as it was very fun to drive. The speakers in the headrest were a riot, sounded like crap, but there was nowhere else to put em, LOL. Thanks for the vid!!

The GM team told him that it out-perfomed the Corvette in every way, so GM chose to stick with the standard V6 instead. Still, a very fast little car. Also, I remember a magazine article from the 90's indicating many of the 4 cylinder fires were traced to a cut-rate connecting pin that saved GM a few cents per part.
