Hi all!
This is a bit of a fact finding mission... I am looking at couple of
1995 model 900S hatches here in Australia. One's a 2.3 litre 4 and the
other is a 2.5 litre V6. Both have manual transmission, similar feature
level and about the same odometer reading (the V6 has leather & alloy
wheels).
The homework I've done so far has been productive, but one significant
question remains:
Which is the better engine, power & torque notwithstanding?
I read horror stories about failed timing belts on the V6 and rattly
timing chains on the 4. I hear about removal of manifolds on the V6 for
spark plug changes... and so it goes.
At this stage I'm leaning toward the 2.3 litre... simplicity & all.
I am happy to hear opinions, personal preferences and hard learned
lessons.
Many thanks,
Norm
