Re: Good Car To Start With?

they are great little cars and a friend actualy drove his 85 all winter up here in maine and said it was great in the snow, unless we had more than 5" of snow on the road. you only have about 5" of ground clearance.
and the car did get a 5 star frontal crash rateing, back then thats all they did. i have seen them after being in accidents and mrpbody is right they are practicly indistructable, i even saw one that ran under an 18 wheeler and the driver walked away.
mrpbody is right changing a clutch on them is a bitch tho, but in there defence anyone that can change a clutch in a front wheel drive can do one on a fiero.
mileage is comparable with cars built today, my 86 se v6 gets 22 around town and almost 30 on the highway as long as you dont push it.
