I have the same model year. Non turbo, no traction control, auto, 180Kkm. Still running great. Only current problem is the idle drop under load (engaged AC compressor or shift from ‘P’ to ‘D’) . Waiting for the summer to finally attack it.
Within the last three years I had to replace:
1. Serpentine belt and tensioner.
2. Water pump.
3. DI Cassette
4. Fuel pump.
Beside of the above no major problems. Of course many little things like hoses, ACC Controller fix (burned contacts restoration), etc. But it's nothing and only a few bucks of cost, if you DIY'er. I even changed a fuel pump myself. For me it's a big achievement. 
Double check if yours has Traction Control. This board has quite a few problems reported due to TCS glitches, difficult to diagnose for 92-94. But Townsend's site has instruction how to permanently convert TCS car to non-TCS.
Good luck,
Vlad
