Cars We Loved in the 1990s

The 1990s car era was more sober, stylish, and sophisticated than the 1980s, with safety and durability improving but insurance hikes, speed cameras, and the introduction of the separate theory test making driving more challenging. Britpop bands battled in the charts, and CD players became the ultimate in-car accessory. Giles Chapman investigates the nostalgic motoring decade of the 1990s, looking back at iconic cars such as the Peugeot 106, Fiat Punto, Jaguar XJ, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Impreza Turbo, Audi TT, TVR Chimaera, and Ford Focus MkI.
