I have a 1995 9000 CS 2,3i (without turbo!) and was told to avoid 1994 or older 2,3-liter engines! They may have problems, that may cost a lot to fix after 150 000 km or so! I also had the DI-cassette changed when I bought my car two years ago and after that I have had absolutely no problems with the ignition system! But the best engine for the 9000 CS is the 2,0t (LPT), it is the best combination of economy and performance available. And it has no major problems! A CS is a great spacious family car and at the moment You can buy one cheaper than some yers ago (also in Finland, where all cars always cos too much...!). The fact that it is an "old" model, does not make it any worse! So buy a CS and get a great car! Regards, Tuomas Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
