FWD cars are inherrantly more difficult to work on then RWD, just because of the space in the engine bay. The engine is in sideways, the Tbelt replacement requires removal of the right front wheel to get access, the flame trap/oil separator box is under the intake manifold, and the front suspension does all of the work.

The only extra tool needed are Torx drivers. Most screws have Torx heads.

Avoid the AWD cars, like the XC. You don't have a need for the extra complexity and weight.

By all means, find a really nice 945 or 965T that has been well maintained and you are familiar with.
