Having had a couple :-) of both varieties, IMO the first Gen versions are simply Much more fun to drive Quicker and more agile as well. They did have a few more mech issues that dissapeared as the 9000 evolved.. but there ain't no free lunch .. ever :-)
I personally have noticed NO fuel mileage improvements with the 2.3 engine, Or max speed differences, despite it's "tall" gearings.
I find my 2.3 uses More fuel..period. Tales of Fabulous fuel mileages are beyond my experiences and as result comprehension.
Biggest issue with the older version is their current age and consequent condition.
IF I could find a single owner low miles (less than 100K) pristine one I'd be driving it.
G'luck .
