1984 Pontiac Fiero Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1984 Pontiac Fiero have a love-hate relationship with this car. Many appreciate its unique styling, handling, and good fuel economy, considering it a fun car to drive. However, they often express frustration with its underwhelming performance, especially with the 2.5L engine, as well as reliability issues and the need for frequent repairs. The Fiero stands out for its distinctive look and enjoyable driving experience but falls short in power and build quality for some drivers."
The Pontiac Fiero was GM's answer to rising concerns of fuel and emission standards. The 84 Fiero lacked performance, only available with a 2.5L inline 4 cyl, but could average around 35 mpg on the highway. What the 84 Fiero did do was prove to GM that America was ready for a new kind of car.
May 25, 2008This car is well made and is a blast to drive!
March 18, 2008Fiero was a great little car, although it was a disappointment when it came to performance. It was underpowered (to my expectations) and didn't handle all that well. All that being said, I wonder if anyone has been able to "juice" theirs up and perhaps even improve the handling with more up to date products?

May 30, 2010performance: no power at all the 2.5 inline four was pathetic. Build quality: cheap plastic interior so it cracked. Appearance: looked cool and unique Cost of ownership: Needed lots of work at only 70,000 miles not reliable. Fun Factor: Never got to drive it much it was always broken.
December 7, 2010Received my Indy Fiero in Oct '07 and finally got it running last spring. It's fun to drive but still needs to be driven a bit so the tranny loosens up more. Now that it runs, it's time to fix the electrical issues -- radio, trunk release, washer fluid pump, and trunk and front compartment lights don't work. Also need to replace the red decal stripe. But overall it's probably a 5 or 6.
February 21, 2009This car delivers a great driving experience, its fun, practical for its class, and its easy to make it better.
May 5, 2008Fieros 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 mine has the stock 92-hp 4-cylinder engine.
September 25, 2010handles great unless in weather great accell for 90HP and 120TQ. love it to death and always turns heads. it has a lot of get upn and go. gets pretty good mileage and all. good cheap car for anyone. Ben
July 24, 2009No matter how much crap I got for trying to restore this, I still love the Fiero. Although mine kinda sucked these cars are still really cool to me. I love the styling on both the base and gt's. The four cylinder with the 3 speed isn't anything to brag about I think this had a 0-60 of 10.9 seconds or something like that. It's small and handles well of course, but if you want one deffinatly go with the V6 with the 5 speed. I did have alot of electrical and headlight motor problems too.
February 6, 2008The 1984 Pontiac Fiero was a trend setter that threatened the Chevy Corvette's niche and was shut down by Pontiac. Loved by almost everyone that owns one, the Fiero was a mid-engine 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder car that was originally slated to be a daily commuter car. But those who bought one found it was much more.
