'88 as well as the 9000 breaks like Simon said. Avoid '89 because of fuel inj problems. Unfortunatly '88 and '89 have the auto seat belts but these can be changed over. I have my auto seat belts locked down and I like using them. The reg belts can get closed in the door and the auto belt s are different. Also with the auto seat belts you can upgrade to the 9000 seats because the auto belts take up less room on the sides. '90-93,'94conv had air bags and ABS breaking which could cost a lot more in maint and is more weight to car. '88 was 160 stock hp and I belive '90-'93,'94conv gradually increased up to 185 hp. The '90 turbo and later is a smaller turbo which performs better since it spools up faster. I have an '88 Turbo Hatch and I'm dropping in a low miles '91 turbo engine complete with performance APC box which should get it up to 200hp. The '88s have a weak pinion bearing so I'm putting the pinion upgrade kit from Swedish Dynamics with rebuilt tranny. This pinion is stronger than the '89-'93,'94conv pinions.
Good luck in your search!
