think mainstream cars changed massively in the 90s. They became much better built, faster and more refined. I remember getting a lift in a new E39 and being amazed at how quiet and composed it was at 90. Similarly the first time I got a lift in an impreza it seemed mind boggling fast for a saloon.
I don't know, or not sure and it could be an age thing, or my bias ;) But remember my dads 7 volvo, at 90-100mph and being able to have a conversation at normal volume and not feeling that fast. What I will always remember of Subaru, that initially sold to farmers or via farming supplies places rather than a dealer network. The cars were work horses and had a hard life but built subaru reputation for build quality.

Yes to the volvo seats.. The GTI estate was pretty rare. Non MG.
