We saw the Fiero at a Seattle dealership - to summarize it in ten words
or less: classy in looks and performance, shy on creature comforts.

It handles well, has good quoted mileage, and the dealers can't seem to
get 'em fast enough to sell.  I found the leg positions uncomfortable
(one leg must be bent at the knee with the foot propped up on the wheel
well), and it lacks a glove box for maps, pens, contact solution, etc.
Worst of all, there's nowhere to park my cassettes and that necessity
of life, my coffee cup.  The truck would hold one standard suitcase
plus maybe a small sack.  They claim it will hold 5 pices of luggage,
but when you read the fine print, you find out it's their
duffle-bag-style luggage, cut specifically to fit the odd-shaped
trunk.
