Check for oil and coolant leaks, tightness of front suspension especially strut mounts and control arm bushings, transmission side motor mount, check records to see if head gasket or DI cartridge has been replaced, and if head bolts were retorqued. Make sure AC works and check the SID for missing pixels. The 1998 model was probably the best of the bunch and the automatic transmission has proven quite durable and troublefree. If car was well cared for and you continue to do the same, it should go to 200k.
Oil should have been changed every 5k and synthetic is recommended. If all checks out, you should be happy with it and have a lot more utility with the hatchback compared to your other cars.
