Conservative in body design compared to the high-boot design of the Benz, the BMW eclipsed it resoundingly when the bigger and much-better handling E36 arrived in early '91. The 83kW 1.8 engine is no powerhouse though, but the BMW in either guise is a better driver's car. AUDI 80 4D SEDAN (1992-1995) THE lesser-recognised German, although its quality and performance belie this. The Audi 80 is front-wheel drive with a 2.0 four-cylinder engine coupled to a four-speed auto or five-speed manual. Performance, road manners and build quality were very good for the day, but the A4 from 1995 proved to be a better driver's car. PEUGEOT 405 4D SEDAN (1993-1996) IF your taste is Gallic rather than Teutonic, the 405 may suit you. Powered by a 2.0 four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels and available as a five-speed manual or four-speed auto. Well made, well equipped and inspiring to drive, the 405 makes a surprisingly fun family car alternative. Diesel wagons are also available. SAAB 900 4D SEDAN (1991-1993) IF Germany or France do not appeal, there is always Sweden. Delightful to drive, the Saab is a car of unique character. A four-cylinder, 2119cc, twin cam, fuel-injected engine gives excellent performance with the front wheels driven through a three-speed auto or five-speed manual. ABS, air-conditioning, cruise control and central locking are among the many standard features.
