I love it. I now have 74,000 miles on it. A word about the 2.1 litre engine used in the 91 - 94 non-turbos: the head gasket fails at between 70k and 100k miles. However, if you pay for this repair, 700 - 1500 bucks, you will not have any other engine related problems, assuming good maintenance. In other words, if you are willing to make the investment in a head gasket repair, you can drive the car for 200k miles, give or take.
However, the Auto trans used in these cars is a real piece. They go out at around 100k, and cost 1600 - 2300 to replace or rebuild. Avoid the autos.
Also, 7800 is way to much. A more realistic price is 5500 - 6500, depending on condition.
Good luck
