Actually, I find, for it's day, the Fiero's chassis is probably one of the stiffest available. Probably one of the safest too.

However, the suspension for the first 4 years was unbalanced. The car handles great on flat and smooth tracks but throw in a few potholes and the unbalanced way the car absorbs bumps is unsettling. It's still a fun car to drive though.

A number of people have converted their Fiero's to t-tops or convertibles with varying degrees of success. I think GM had actually made a few T-top Fieros in 1988 and then shelved the program.

I wouldn't say they rushed it to market (probably rushed for GM's bureaucracy) but you can see where the bureaucracy (read cutting corners) ruined the basic good spirit of the car.
