Fiero Reliability from Consumer Reports
« on: April 15, 2016, 09:52:38 pm »
Found Consumer Reports on-line from 1991 & 1993.  They actually gave the Fiero good reliability scores for an American car.  Even recommended '88s as good used cars.  $3500-$4000 for a 4, $6000-$7000 for a V6, both automatics  :-\   Prices haven't changed much since then...

Do you have the legend for what the symbols mean?

Solid Red is good. 
Part red is better than average.
Open circle is average.
Part black is below average.
Solid black is bad.
* is not enough info to determine a result.

Well, mine is an '88 GT automatic, so that makes it completely average.

I;d say an '88 is/was a bit better than average.
