I went from a 1978 Honda Accord, to an 88 prelude, to a 98 prelude. The 88 had over 350 000 kms when I gifted it to my sister. Great car, but of course the body was disintegrating on it at that point.
As for semi realistic “dream” 90s cars, it’s funny looking back at some of them. Like why did I think a Pontiac Grand Prix was awesome for a while? Also went through an Eagle Talon phase.
Honestly, my uncle's 97 Grand Prix GTP two door was awesome. Head up display, which was insane at the time. Actually comfortable even in the back seat. Heated seats (another 90s rarity). They were cool and pretty zippy. That thing took down my brother's Prelude and he was maaaad.
Eagle Talons were also cool. AWD and pretty fast...full-on 90s machines.

Way more too name but I am still trying to process the prices online at Autotrader and Kijiji and I am still kicking myself for never buying the Acura NSX when I had the chance!!!
Not sure this counts as a 90s car (it looks like it was an 84-89 run) but always loved these myself. I walk by one daily as there's one street parked a block away from me...in somewhat ratty shape, but still has good street presence.
Still such a puzzling naming decision by Ford. Not only is it a name that most North Americans were never really sure how to pronounce, but why give it a name that sounds like a brand you already have? They should’ve just made this thing a Mercury in the first place, since that was always trying to be a slightly more sporty brand anyway.

Gah, my mistake. I thought they squeaked into the early 90s. These were just such a wonderful oddity.
DSM's. By far my fondest car memories. I did so many mods myself to my 1G Talon and 2G Eclipse and it got to the point I could to a complete turbocharger swap in a matter of a few hours in my garage.
