The 91 and newer non-turbo's use a 2.1L that is prone to head gasket problems (from what I read here)
The Turbos don't seem to have the head gasket problem as they're the classic 2.0L design. Plus they're very fun to drive.
Don't stay away from turbos, either. If you find one that has been well maintained, you'll be in good shape. Just get 88+ (or is it 89?) so the turbocharger is watercooled.
89 is prone to ECU failure. Well, some have that problem. I guess you could get a spare on eBay for $50 or so. They're easy to replace, too.
