Probably the thermostat. I got mine replaced last summer and it fixed the same problem last summer.

Mine was timed with a cambelt/water pump change so I only had to pay for the coolant once but it's fairly cheap if you're not due a change.

I just had my thermostat replaced due to eratic temp behaviour on the guage.  Now, after a couple of miles driving it gets to 90 and stays there.  This is how it should behave and anyone telling you otherwise is telling porkies. There is a coolant temp sensor that also does go faulty, but usually the thermostat is the culprit in these cases.
