6. 1984 Pontiac Fiero
We’ve all seen a Fiero at one point or another. The iconic little 1980s sports car sold quite well and had some decent driving characteristics. The mid-engined design provided exotic car performance on a budget and buyers ate it up. The Fiero had a two-seat design and a sporty look to it that was unlike anything else on the market. The closest competitor to the Fiero was the MR2, and even that was a stretch. The Fiero would have been a great sports car if it were not for one issue.

The Fiero was notorious for having engine fires. The problem was attributed to faulty connecting rods inside of the motor which would cause the oil to spill onto the exhaust manifold. GM rectified this problem later on by recalling every Fiero on the road. But the year was 1990, and this was too little, too late, as the car had already earned a bad reputation. Still, aside from that, the Fiero is a pretty cool piece of automotive history. This is a car that will stand out no matter what parking lot you are in because people still want to know what exactly it is.
