The ‘90s was a decade of questionable fashion choices, frosted tips, and, unfortunately, some truly forgettable cars.

Sure, there were some gems (hello, Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline), but for every icon, there were a handful of forgettable disasters. These are the cars that seemed like a good idea at the time, but now they’re a distant memory we wish we could wipe from the collective automotive history.

From sluggish performance to bizarre design choices, these 10 cars from the ’90s are best left in the past.

1. Chevrolet Cavalier (1995-2005)

The Chevrolet Cavalier was the quintessential “meh” car of the ‘90s. With uninspiring design, underwhelming performance, and a general lack of anything exciting, it was the car you drove because you had to—not because you wanted to.

The ride was bouncy, the engine weak, and the interior felt like it was designed by someone who had no concept of comfort. Despite being affordable, it was a car that faded into obscurity as quickly as it appeared, and for good reason.

2. Ford Aspire (1994-1997)

The Ford Aspire was Ford’s attempt at breaking into the subcompact market, but it was far from inspiring. This tiny hatchback was nothing to look at, and it certainly didn’t set any performance records.

With a mere 63 horsepower from its puny engine, the Aspire was slow, uncomfortable, and downright forgettable. It wasn’t even particularly cheap, so there was little reason to opt for it over more reliable and practical options like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.

3. Chrysler Lebaron (1990-1995)

The Chrysler Lebaron was a strange offering from Chrysler that tried to mix sporty styling with a cramped, underwhelming driving experience. Whether you had the convertible or hardtop version, you were dealing with a car that had poor performance, terrible handling, and an interior that looked like it belonged in a 1980s budget rental.

The Lebaron quickly became synonymous with bad design choices, and it’s one car from the ‘90s that most people are happy to forget.

4. Mazda 626 (1991-2002)

The Mazda 626 was one of those cars that seemed like a good idea at the time, but it quickly became a forgettable family sedan that just couldn’t stand out in a competitive market. While the ride was smooth, the car lacked any kind of excitement or personality.

It was sluggish, uninspired, and had an interior that felt like it was stuck in the ’80s. Although it was reliable, it failed to leave a lasting impression, making it easy to forget once it was gone.

5. Geo Metro (1990-2001)

The Geo Metro may have been known for its low price tag and impressive fuel economy, but it’s also a car that many would rather forget. With its tiny, almost comical proportions and a barely-there engine, the Metro was more about basic transportation than driving enjoyment.

The interior was bare-bones at best, and the ride was bumpy, to say the least. While it might’ve been an affordable option for those on a tight budget, the Metro was as uninspiring as they come and definitely not a car anyone remembers fondly.

6. Pontiac Sunfire (1995-2005)

The Pontiac Sunfire was one of those cars that screamed “trying too hard.” It was supposed to be a sporty compact, but it ended up being nothing more than a boxy, forgettable econo-car with little to offer in terms of performance or comfort.

The interior was cramped, the handling was sloppy, and the styling was awkward at best. While it may have appealed to younger drivers who didn’t know any better, the Sunfire didn’t leave much of an impact in the long run, and it’s often remembered for all the wrong reasons.

7. Ford Taurus SHO (1995-1999)

The Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) was supposed to be a performance version of the Taurus sedan, but instead, it ended up as a weird mix of mediocrity and confusion. While it had a decent V8 engine, the SHO was heavy, unrefined, and didn’t deliver the kind of performance expected from a “performance” sedan.

The design was generic, and despite its performance potential, it never quite made a mark on the enthusiast community. It remains one of Ford’s many “what could have been” vehicles of the ‘90s.

8. Saturn SL2 (1991-2002)

The Saturn SL2 was a compact sedan that was billed as a revolutionary alternative to traditional imports. However, it was plagued by lackluster performance, an uninspired driving experience, and an interior that felt like it was made out of plastic and bad decisions.

Sure, it was reliable, but with its mushy suspension and sluggish acceleration, the SL2 didn’t offer anything exciting. It quickly became known as a car for people who wanted to get from point A to point B, but nothing more.

9. Hyundai Sonata (1999-2005)

The Hyundai Sonata of the early ‘00s had good intentions, but it was a car that couldn’t keep up with its competitors. It had the build quality of a cardboard box and the performance of a soggy pancake. While it was affordable, the Sonata had zero excitement to offer.

The interior was bland, the ride was stiff, and the engine didn’t have the oomph you’d expect from a midsize sedan. For many buyers, it was a car that got the job done, but just barely, and it’s hard to remember much about it besides its forgettable nature.

10. Eagle Talon (1990-1998)

The Eagle Talon had all the right ingredients for success—a compact, sporty design with turbocharged engines and AWD—but it just couldn’t deliver the full package. While the Talon had some loyal fans, it was plagued with reliability issues and an interior that felt like it was built by someone who had never seen a car interior before.

Its handling was inconsistent, and the overall build quality was shoddy at best. While it had potential as a performance car, it was often overshadowed by its competitors, and its legacy has been largely forgotten.
