The 2.3 is not even close to the performance of the v6. I don't think there is much of a performace difference between the v6 and the 2.0 turbo.
The v6 might need a belt and tensioner every 60k, but on the other hand it doesn't need special oil or frequent oil changes. There is also no sludge issues, headgasket issues or balance shaft issues with the v6.
I think milage is similar on all three engines. I'd imagine the turbo does the best. Our v6 car gets consistantly 28mpg in mixed driving with the automatic.
My wife's 95 900SE v6 has 212,000 miles on it. Other than the A/C, its been very reliable.
