Is it worth buying a Pontiac (used) I have heard they are basically death traps.

Don't buy the Fiero unless you are a good mechanic.
Even then I would think hard about it.
The other two are ok cars if you can do some work yourself, I wouldn't buy a 94 anything and not expect to work on it.

Fiero's are decent cars and not very hard to work on. But as with any 20+ year old car it all depends on how well someone maintained it. This can be said about any car. We have a Fiero in our local club that has over 350K miles on the original engine and trans and still going. This particular car was very well maintained. Older cars need to be inspected and maintained more often than a newer vehicle.
Fiero's are not "deathtraps" They had a 5-star crash rating and were number 2 on the safest cars list. The only car rated safer was a Volvo back then.
As long as the frame isn't rusted, the crash worthyness is fine.
