86 of course! the year of the firsts
the first year of the softest springs
first year of the better digital dash
first year of stand alone TPI with no maf burnoff module
first year of the thick steering wheel
first year of the OD button on the shifter
first year the OD had no kickdown cable
first year of ABS
First year of electronic temp control
first year of precats
first year of aluminum heads
first year of right hand dipstick
first year of one piece rear main seal
first year of th CIS alternator
first year of centerbolt rocker covers

I didn't say they were all the best firsts..........

I like the later C4's. 1995 or 1996, they have all the upgrades and improvements.

I don't understand the point of this question. All C4 owners agree that 95 is the best year
