Just bought my second 2.3 after totalling my '94 w/123K. It was running great and I expected to get at least to 200K with it. The "new" '95 has had some issues. With only 76K, the check engine light went on three times between visits to my dealer. It turned out the thermostat was sticking, but they had replaced temp sensor and another modulator before figuring out the real culprit. $500 later, the car seems to be OK. The newly installed serpentine belt is noisy and they say it will just get worse. I'm going to try a new independent shop next. I think if you rack on miles, the non-turbo is the way to go...simplicity is the key. I have a '02 Porsche Carrera if I need to go fast! We also have a 2000 9-3 SE and after 30k, the car is perfect with NO problems at all.
