See the interior and exterior of the 1994 Chevrolet Lumina, Dodge Intrepid, Honda Accord LX, Hyundai Sonata GLS, Subaru Legacy L, and Toyota Camry DX.
In 1994, we gathered six midsize family sedans for a comparison test. All were priced under $20,000, that being the average new-car price at the time. (Yes, really.)
The Chevrolet Lumina was fresh off a redesign.
The Lumina was the only car in the group with a three-passenger front bench seat.
Chevy's cupholder game was second to none.
The Chevy was powered by a 160-hp V-6.
The Subaru Legacy was the smallest of the group.
The Legacy won fans for its excellent visibility.
Subaru's flat-4 engine made 135 horsepower.
The Toyota Camry was a base DX model.
The Camry was the only one of the group with crank windows.
The Toyota's four-cylinder engine made 130 horsepower.
The Hyundai Sonata was the only car assembled outside of North America.
The Sonata GLS was praised for its "chair-high" seats.
Hyundai's 142-hp V-6 delivered the best 0-60 time.
The Dodge Intrepid was the biggest car in the test.
Testers griped about the Intrepid's front seat comfort.
The Dodge's longitudinally mounted V-6 made 161 horsepower.
The fifth-generation Accord debuted for 1994.
Somehow, our writer looked at the Accord door panels and saw a Three Musketeers bar.
The Accord was powered by a 130-hp inline-4.
So, which car do you think won?
