I know there are those that prefer the square nose (and point out that the headlight wipers fail on the slanted headlights)... but personally, I think 1989 was a great year. We have a 1989 NA sedan + it is solid + has been very reliable.
1993 cars are nice, but the 2.1L was not great wrt the headgasket issue (I hadn't heard anything wrong with the block - just the headgasket itself from the factory, causing coolant leakage, causing pitting...) 2.0L with a turbo would have been a better choice for that year!
In terms of reliability, our 1989 has been 100x more reliable than the 1993 in just about every way... one of the guys at our indy claims he's noticed the 1989 + earlier cars rust slower... who knows? at this point, it matters more who owned them than just about anything else!
