The Pontiac Fiero was designed by renowned car engineer Hulki Aldikacti as a mid-engine sports car for General Motor’s Pontiac. The line only appeared for five years, from 1984 to 1988. Since the coupes were manufactured from 1926 to 1938, this was the second time Pontiac ventured into manufacturing two-seaters. Also, the Fiero was the only mid-engine sports car by an American car manufacturer during that time. The energy crisis of the 1970s made General Motors consider manufacturing a car that is efficient in fuel even after giving up its Corvette line. Thus, the Fiero had a 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine running it. Automatic, four-speed, and five-speed manual transmissions were available with the Fiero.
Estimated Price Range for Used Pontiac Fiero: $2,500-$4,500
Estimated MPG for Pontiac Fiero: 22 City/32 Hwy
Available Trims: Base, SE, Sport, GT

The line had its share of problems that added to the Fiero’s notoriety. Several owners complained of engine fires, while others raised issues with the car’s cooling system. The manufacturing of the Fiero ended when official internal GM forecasts predicted insufficient profits of the line in the future because of a decrease in the demand for two-seater cars. Despite that, until its last year, the Fiero still made profit for GM, with units sold actually numbering twice the predicted number.
