The Fieros weren't very fast in a straight line, but the handling was pretty good. And that made the car feel sporty. Also, the 4-cyl with a manual gearbox could get 40+ mpg.
IMO, the Fiero was a good "starter car". It was good on gas (especially the 4-cyl). It wasn't very expensive. And it was fairly easy to maintain. Plus the handling made it fun to drive. So you didn't feel like you were driving an econobox.

Makes me wish they wouldn't have used a god awful subaru engine in the Toyota86/scion etc... If they would've used like anything else at all i could've seen it getting 40+ as well. Oh well.
