What new car from 1990 would you run as a DD?

[irish boy]

This is my daily driver summer months. (panda 4x4 winter months)

It's a few months off 1990 but driver superbly, has never given ANY trouble in the last 12 months/12k, gives relatively good mpg and gives me 10x the enjoyment of some econobox.

Ok it's a '92 - but I use it almost daily and I love it!

bx 16v

Awesome - to me, that does not look 22 years old. And also love that 900T16S - great memories of hooning around in my friend's dad's 1988 T16S.

But my choices would include the E34 M5, 944 S2, Sapphire Cosworth, Delta Integrale and possibly Audi Quattro 20V. Would gladly drive any of those as a daily, in any conditions.

I often wonder if someone somewhere has preserved a brand new, undriven, showroom condition Regular Joe car from 20/30 years ago?

I see a Sierra Azure (or something) parked at the end of my road every now and then, old boy comes to the fields round the corner to fly his model plane. The thing looks brand new except for the exhaust pipe, which looks like a 90s Ford exhaust after about 3 weeks on the road

There are a lot of good choices, right through the price range too, but with infinity monies for me it would be NSX hands down because best car ever.
Other top choices would be Lotus Carlton, 300ZX (imported turbo SWB slicktop manual), Alfa 155 GTAZ.

300, is that you?
Mine would have to be this....

I thought that too
Also, another excellent '90 car.

If this could be stretched a year to 1991..

This is my current daily drive, a 1991 Sierra Laser. Ideally I'd like one with a higher spec, but this car is just so dam reliable I cannot fault it at all! This picture was taken today after I gave it a bit of love with a polish.

Thats cool! D.I frost's crime fighting machine http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/worst-screen-car-c...

Lotus carlton for me.

For the family, a 500E



For myself a 20v Quattro



For the weekend

[ManFromDelmonte]

Or perhaps the E34 M5, Saab 900 Carlsson, Range Rover or Golf Rallye

[Soupie69uk]

Audi S2
Golf big bumper GTI
If I had more spondoos I would have a 944 Turbo or a 911.

today it would be a Nissan 300zx, as i saw one over the weekend and had forgotten just what a great looking machine they were.

Funny, I've been looking at one as a replacement for my car some time in the future, still incredibly cheap for quite a lot of power.

If it were me, I'd either have a 944 S2, or a 3.0 Supra

+1 Though I'd struggle to say no to one of these:

[Leins]

Right, I've changed my mind and come around to the Saab way of thinking. I ran an '85 900i sedan for a couple of years in the 90s, so for me it would have to be the (already mentioned) 900 T16S Combi

Quick, safe, sounds great, practical, good looking, comfortable and, best of all, full of character. Yes please!

[Fastchas]

This. Must be a V-Tec (as pictured).

Corrado G60. Was going to say VR6 but I think they only arrived in 1992.

In violet pearl black, please.

I run a G60 as a daily and love it!

Think i'd take a MK2 16v in Tornado red though

Superb choices - I'd find it hard not to go with those!

[Bungleaio]

1990 saw the return of the Mini cooper so it would have to be one of them for me

[Kawasicki]

About 210k miles...still going strong, 70 miles a day, Monday to Friday.

My FIL has one, I've known him about 7 years and it's not been driven once in that time.

Does he live in Gloucestershire? One up the road from me hasn't turned a wheel in the ten years I've been here. Still looks good but never seen it on the road
