I owned an 86 SE 4 cylinder automatic 4 cyl. (daughters first car), tons of people asking WTF I would buy her an unsafe car like a Fiero. Maybe because the Fiero was actually quite a safe car with the passenger compartment surrounded by a full cage structure, if they bothered to look at the design of the car, instead of listening to idiots that don't have a clue. My own 88 was a 4 cyl. 5 speed. Put tons of miles on both of them. The timing gears went out of my 88 at about 130,000, fixed it and kept driving it until I sold it at around 155,000.

They were good little cars. Especially considering that GM corporate practically tied Pontiac Divisions' hands behind their back when designing it. There is a lot of misinformation out there over the years such as what you have mentioned regarding a lot of different things. Reminds me of the Corvair nonsense.
