The 80 and the 90 were the same car, the 90 just had a higher
trim level. After a few years, the 80 model was dropped altogether.

I have a 90 and a 100 (the 5K replacement), and think you need
to investigate the size thoroughly. I find the 90 VERY small,
and could never own it as a daily driver. I've been spoiled by
the big car space of the 100.
