It's an interesting video and retrospective on the Fiero....But- My Fiero has no rattles or squeaks.....The ones that caught fire were mainly 4 cylinders with improperly marked dipsticks plus a dipstick-owner that did not keep the oil up, and the performance of the Fiero V6 was not far off the Mustang and Camaro of the same time frame....Also, that interior has a wood-grain kit installed so not stock.....
Still better than "All Fieros caught fire" or "Fieros are the worst car ever made" etc.......

Who is the Japanese engineer he is referring to who supposedly designed the Fiero?

Exactly. He's like the little internet troll and his opinion is as valid as Doug Demuro's.

Yes Barely watchable many times. Self important that had radio show years ago. Now he's maybe 50% correct on YT videos... Like another fool think LED in Halogen HL are good.
He's just moved there too... I wonder if he check local law/codes because isn't zoned to run business at home in most places.
Even w/o business signs many places ban business at home having people come there and working on cars in driveway etc.
Often can't even park a work vehicle w/ signage in a driveway at home. Must park on street and even that has limits in many areas.------------------

Doug is by far the worst car YouTuber. He does absolutely no research on anything he does. It blows my mind that so many people watch him.

Scotty Kilmer is what I call a sensationalist. His presentations are part fact, part comedy and part BS. I believe that Scotty develops all of his stories to create interest at the expense of accuracy. He can be hard to listen to with his aggressive "in your face" style but he does have a big following and gets paid big bucks from his You Tube videos. On the Fiero video at least he didn't knock the car. ------------------

i happen to like Scotty Kilmer and watch many of his videos. i thot that his review was right on about how the 3800 makes the Fiero into a nice car. And he was right that if Pontiac had put the 3800 in the car that the reputation would be very different today. (WE know what the car can do - its just all the others that don't understand). Yeah he got some things wrong - Hulki is not Japanese and the Fiero always made money. But hey, its a good review. And by the way, watch his video on the best V6 - of course he likes the Toyota, but he had a LOT of good things to say about the 3800.

Biology says there are coded genetic signals in every cell, but we KNOW that no intelligence created life.
I'm the original owner of a white ' 84 2M4 purchased Dec 10, 1983 from Pontiac. Always garaged, no rust, 4-wheel drifts are fun!
