My dad had one that almost burnt up, but I caught it just in time when he came home with the engine smoking..  I liked the MR2.. That was a hell of an engine that just happened to have wheels attached..   I did love my old Celica's.. I had a 74 GT and 78 GT.. 
These days I'm driving an old soccer mom Chrysler Town and Country van.

The first year Fiero had a recall to fix a potential leak that could cause an engine fire, yes, but that was year one.  By 1988, they got the Fiero right.  They spent $40 million on the suspension and the 88 could handle incredibly well.  The earlier years were solid, but had some Citation parts and had some problems with snap oversteer.  I know the MR2 had this as well.  

I never liked the first gen MR2 because of it's looks, even though they were a ball to drive.  The second gen MR2 was gorgeous and had a turbo option that absolutely flew.  Lots of them ended up wrapped around trees because the boost would come on in the middle of the turn and overpower the chassis.
