The technology inside our cars is always advancing, to the point where the latest car features in the 1990s are mostly obsolete. In fact, we reckon these are the car features only ’90s kids will remember.

Cassette Players

Unless you really loved the radio in the ’80s or ’90s, there’s a good chance you loaded up your glovebox with cassettes. Now, we create driving playlists using streaming services, but back in the 1990s, people couldn’t live without their cassettes. Road trips were remembered by the cassettes you listened to, especially as you ended up listening to them over and over again.

Broken Or No AC

Air conditioning basically comes as standard in cars these days, but during the 1990s it was a real novelty. Even if you owned a car that had AC, there was no guarantee it would work. Instead of nice chilled atmospheres, many of us spent our time in our cars feeling hot and bothered any time the summer rolled around.

Roll-down Windows

Electric windows were the exception in the decade, most people had to roll their windows up and own manually. Cranking those winders wasn’t exactly hard work, but pressing a button in modern cars is so much easier.

Steering Wheel Locks

Steering wheel locks were everywhere during the ’90s. These theft-preventing devices slipped inside the steering wheel to stop any would-be thief from driving away with your boxy ’90s car.

Lighters And Ashtrays

Before we all truly understood the dangers of smoking, many people used to do it in their cars. That meant our vehicles had to come equipped with lighters and ashtrays, although we no longer see them in modern cars. Instead the lighter is replaced by a battery slot, and the ashtray is just another storage compartment.

Times have certainly changed since the ’90s, and it’s fair to say our cars are now way better than they ever were during this iconic decade.

The global car market sees many different models manufactured all over the world. The United States is considered to be one of the strongest automotive markets on the planet, and these are America’s best homemade cars of 2020.

Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is considered one of the most luxurious electric vehicles on the road. Its final assembly point is in Fremont, California, and the car has been credited with having an impressive driving range combined with fast acceleration. The Model S is the perfect example of what the stylish American-made car market of the future can look like.

Ford Mustang

Ford’s Mustang range is the gift that keeps on giving for the manufacturer. The Mustangs are assembled in Michigan with 2020 models available from $26,670. This affordable 310bhp machine has been a staple of the United States automotive industry for decades, and it’s still going strong.

Honda Civic

As far as compact cars go, the 2020 Honda Civic is right up there with the best of them. Even though Honda is a Japanese car manufacturer, the Civic’s final assembly point is in Greensburg, Indiana. The 2020 Honda Civic represents great value for money with prices starting from $19,850, while drivers also have the option of sedan and coupe models.

Toyota Camry

The 2020 Toyota Camry represents one of the best mid-size cars on the market this year. They are assembled in Georgetown, Kentucky, and offer great safety features combined with excellent fuel efficiency. Drivers can get behind the wheel of a Toyota Camry for prices starting from $24,425 and can expect 203bhp from the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

Although some of these homemade cars might not be classically American, they are still made in the USA. They set themselves apart from the competition thanks to their superior quality, which is what American-made cars are all about anyway, isn’t it?
