They have amazing fuel economy and parts are relatively easy to find The engine 2.5L 4 cyl Iron duke (mirca) are the same engines that they use in every mail truck used by us mail And the rear end is the front end of a AMC Gremlin (Pads Axles Suspension and transmission so on so forth) The front end is the rear end of a Chevrolet Chevette (Pads Axles Suspension so on so forth) so It is a good fuel slipping economy carApr 06, 2023

The interior is ok but the seats need to be recovered. Have new Black and Yellow seat covers. Has a cd player in it. The car has 90,000 original miles on it and starts, turns, and brakes good. Last year a lot of work was done to the car including tune-up, battery, brakes and brake lines. The driver side door panel was redone in black and looks nice. If it were up to me I would change all the interior parts to black. Over $1000 in work. This would make a decent driver. Contact me if you have any questions. Russell 507-276-3303

performance: 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.Dec 07, 2010

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 mine has the stock 92-hp 4-cylinder engine.

Fiero 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, 2010

Honestly i am biased because it is my first car and i basically raised it from the dead, because it is a 26 year old car i am defiantly going to be replacing a lot of the parts but at the moment it's running very smoothly at first it was noisy and the shocks sucked I've been driving it since January 2010 and the shocks are finally loosening up and the exhaust isn't as noisy so i am enjoying it very much since it is lower to the ground and wider than a normal car it can take turns at a faster rate without the G's, it only has a 4 banger in it, i plan on replacing that when i have the play money for it ;P , paint needs replacing (again 26 year old car) but as you can see at a distance it really isn't that bad it looks like crap but hey it's still turning heads down the streetApr 28, 2010

thes were the pace cars for races they are great for driving in the winter as long as the snow isn't too high because they are low to the ground, wide, short, even weight distarbution because of the engine being a centre engine not a front or rear.Feb 25, 2010

Well this little car needs lots of work and TLC, but I'm not there to do it. So right now it looks like crap, descent crap, but still crap. i even got a CD player for it and got rid of the cassette player. Feb 22, 2010

I bought this beauty Last year and got it running for this summer. The 4-banger is sluggish but looking into it. Tranny is smooth and it sticks to the pavement like glue!!
Looking into some rims and still an awsome work in progress.Oct 07, 2009

Received 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.Feb 21, 2009

Sweet car, rare and hard to find. Handles sick, 4cyl is kinda slow..120mph top. The car is easy to work on the the plastic panels are always rust and dent free. Car will pull .89G on stock tires from '85. I would reccomend one to anyone looking for a fun ride and good investment.Oct 24, 2008

My first car. Got it running, and it runs smooth. Fun to drive/ride in, and has a quite bit of kick for a 4 cyl. It's a little rough, including lack of a/c, but it definatley has a lot of sassiness. Gas is good, and it looks pretty sporty, too!Sep 10, 2008

I absolutely love my car, although other people will say it sucks. It gets pretty decent gas mileage for having a really big 4 cylinder in the back. Yes, the engine is in the back. The Fiero is the only American made mid-engine car ever mass produced, so it is kind of unique.Jul 31, 2008

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.

No 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. Feb 06, 2008

The 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.Feb 02, 2008
