'93 90q

[Todd Young]

I really can't sit still for this.
I've got a '93 90S with the V6 and I haven't had ANY problems, except 
for a slight leak from the valley pan gasket. My engine has 140K+ miles 
and it's still going strong.

Don't judge all '93 and '94 models by a few bad examples.

In late '95, they made revisions to the lubrication system and lightened the valve train. I have a late '95 90q and I have had no trouble with it so far. Ti is right on with his characterization of the driving character. Not a race car, does not like to be hustled like a 5-cyl., but great as a smooth, torquey, commuter and road trip car. Looks great with h1/h4 or RS2 euro lights. Make sure the timing belt and water pump are up to date if you buy one.
