I have a base model 1992 9000 5-speed car with no turbo, and I love it for many reasons.....more room in the engine compartment, less stuff to go wrong, and its a GREAT winter car because, to be frank, it has NO power, and really won't spin in snow like a spooled up turbo tends to.
That being said, I'd lean away from the 2.0 auto and look at the 93 5-speed. As David said, I think it really depends on the price and your gut feel of the car. If it looks like a neglected dump, eh....keep looking. If it looks good then heck, give it a rip.
I will agree strongly that my 1992 doesn't shift up, or down as smoothly as my 1997 does. Syncros? Age? who knows. Also, I'm of the school where if a car has made it 250k miles, odds are fair that the dang thing is going to make it another 50k unless something tragic happens.
