With new car launches on ice during 2020 and some of 2021, we decided to look back at some of the greatest cars in the history of What Car?, making the case for 10 outstanding models, before asking readers to vote for the best of the lot.
There's obviously no right or wrong answer to a question like this. However, a clear winner emerged in our online polls, with the Peugeot 205 edging out the Mercedes-Benz W123 and Renault Espace for the title of best car launched in the early years of What Car?, before attracting almost half of all support in the vote for the overall champion.
In that final poll, the 205 had to beat our other age group winners, with the E39 BMW 5 Series taking the runner-up spot, the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 in third and the Audi A3 Mk3 fourth. Explaining their votes, some readers pointed to the fact that “there was a model in the 205 range for everyone”; others said “it still looks fresh today”; and some chose it because “every version drove brilliantly”.
