Christian, any engine with 4 cylinders is preferred to the v6. From reports, the 9^3 is an improved vehicle over the NG900. The turbo engines have more performance and do not seem to have any reliability issues/problems that the other engines do not have. Hopefully, others will chime in as I am more in tune with the C900. My only experience was 1 year with a 900SE 5 dr 5sp turbo (185PS).
