Been driving 240s since '95. So far, strictly non-turbo 4-cyl. 2.3L.
Am considering a 900 for my next car - though hopefully not for a year and a half.

What are the good engines?

I heard nasty things about the 16-valve 2.3L 4-cyl. and also about the 6-cyl.
Are there "safe" examples of the 16-valve, such as later ones?
Which engine is "interference" and needs a new timing belt about every 20K mi. or so?

I drive about 45,000 miles yearly, mostly for commuting!
