the '95 we've mostly just done ordinary maintenance and repair on cars 12 and 13 years old.
Brakes, exhausts, plugs, filters, radiators, belts and pulleys, tires, light bulbs, hoses, t-stats, wiper blades, couple of hood/hatch struts. All stuff you'll replace sooner or later on any car. Did an A/C compressor on the '96. Just put a used climate control in the '95. A switch here and there.
The only "quirky" items have been a heater core on the '96 and a couple of upper motor mounts. The '95 needed a tranny mount and a couple of door lock actuators. The '96, like many full pressure turbo cars, seems to have an appetite for BPC solenoids, but other than that these are pretty solid cars, especially at around 150K miles.
