The Pontiac Fiero isn’t a classic car so to say. But this classic car actually has a bit of a history lesson behind it. The Fiero was the first mid-engined sports car to come out of GM. The company was so confident in the little sports car at one point that it was supposed to replace the Firebird. Consumers actually enjoyed the Fiero for a good portion of the time until these little sports cars starting catching on fire. Yes, the Fiero was prone to engine fires, and this caused concern among consumers.

Although GM had fixed this problem in later years of the vehicle’s design, it was too late. Sadly, the Fiero is really not a bad car. But because of the shortcomings that happened early on in the car’s lifecycle, the brand was hurt. The mid-engined Fiero is a classic that drivers refuse to buy to this day.
