Mine is a '93 90SQ (canadian), with 150k kilo (94k miles). One head
gasket replaced. The other one seems to be coming soon (1 very stiff
spark plug, not removed...). Power steering hose, one cat. replaced,
lots of gaskets/seals replaced.
About 22 mpg.
Castrol Syntech 5/50 all year, every 6k miles. 1 quart at 3k.
K&N filter improved response  alot (previous was very dirty...)
Rear calipers stuck (no parking brakes): maintenance.
Need to be revved above 2750 rpm to get some response.
Excellent car on snow.
