I'm happy with the V6. It has a much better low end than the turbo. Comparing apples to apples, the 1995 2.0 turbo was 185 HP, the V6 was rated at 170. My "seat of the pants" judgement is that 170 is conservative.
The only really weak points are the timing belt and leaks at the valve covers. If you maintain the engine properly you shouldn't have any problems.
The timing belt should be changed at 35K intervals. Check the service records on the car, If the belt was not changed at 35K make an appointment to get it changed. It's free for the first 3 changes although at 56K they might call it the second change since it is so far past 35K.
