It's not too hard

The turbo is for sure the most desirable engine, but also consider the 2.3. It is quite peppy and takes regular gas (although I use 89 in mine). The preferrable models are the 97.5 through 98, or you could spring for a 9-3 if you have the cash. If you don't, it's not that big a deal. I'd recommend staying away from the 94-95.5s because they have inferior front suspension, but my car is an early 95 and treats me well. You can avoid a lot of 900 problems (specifically the shift linkage and clutch cable) by going with the automatic, which unlike the classic 900's unit, is quite reliable and plenty powerful. If you aren;t sure whether to get the coupe or the 5-door, get the coupe. It looks better and has slightly higher resale value.
