Close Anyone who enjoyed the recent BBC documentary on the birth of the groundbreaking lads’ mag Loaded may be surprised to hear that the 1990s was also the scene of a bloody battle for the soul of the car magazine. True, it involved less debauchery, but there was plenty of subterfuge, egotism and tantrums – not to mention the incineration of millions of pounds as the three big specialist publishers fought to dominate one of the most lucrative magazine sectors.

Close The infotainment screen is a bit small on early cars, so if tech is a sticking point then a post-2019 facelift car will appeal more. It has a bigger, 10in screen, and while the menu icons are a bit small, you can pair your smartphone with it to use apps such as Waze and Spotify.

Close Everyone loves 1990s cars. Over the past decade their popularity has risen rapidly as the differences between them and contemporary models have become ever more distinct. What’s the reason? After all, 1990s cars are now 25 to 35 years out of date. And there isn’t the same love out there for the cars of the 1980s or 2000s. It’s tempting to blame simple nostalgia: teenage kids of the mid-1990s are approaching 50 today.
