Both the 3.0L v6 and 2.0/3 I-4 have their own problems. The v6 overall is a very stout engine when left untuned. No sludge problems, no common headgasket problems, not near the oil leaks as the B2X5 engines. Basically keep up with a full timing belt w component and WP replacement at 60k intervals, install the GM stainless steel oil cooler, and replace the turbo when needed. Both use the same T-7 system basically so share the same AMM, IDMs, electronic TBs, IAT, etc. The v6 just has a higher need for routine/expensive maintenance.
If your looking at a 9-5 here in the USA, and want a 2.3L I-4 your limited to a B235E or B235R (Aero). The B234 was used in the Saab 9000 series)
