Actually I have had a Fiero for quite some time and it is very reliable. Was using it as my daily driver until child number two arrived, needed more space, and ened up with my 9000 Turbo :). It has a 2.8L V6 in the back, pretty quick car. I've been in Taxis with 600,000+ kms on the same 2.8L, mine has 220,000 kms and going strong. Like most any vehicle I've had ....if you take care of it, it will last. As for the fires, the first model ( 4cyl in 1984 ) had a tendancy to blow oil through a gasket onto a wiring harness close to the exhaust....then break out the sticks and marshmallows. That was corrected pretty quickly, but stories like that tend to haunt a vehicle. Well, there you go, just what everyone on a Saab forum wants info on a Fiero!....Sorry ;).
