Err, while I do not want to debate the styling of the Fiero, I recently found
out from someone in the know that the engine failure rate for the four-cylinder
is exceptionally high. In fact, it is supposed to be somewhere around 16%,
meaning that 16 % of all four bangers screw up in less than 12,000 miles.
Apparently, the main problem seems to be overheating and associated warpage,
etc.
