Thats the early 2.5's. The late 2.5s and the 2.2s are okay.
Good to know. One was a 98 2.5 and the other was an 04. The old subies ran forever

my 3 cents.
mk3 with working cruise controls can be tough to find somtimes. the modules are usually the problem.
if its a 5 spd, test drive the tranny. any weird noises in 1st 2nd and reverse could end up painful. 5th sometimes can go bad too. (mine has a wobble)
94-95 are the years to find. they are just built out of better parts all around. although i did notice that the later 2.0 motors seem quieter.
MIke, feel free to PM me with any ?'s, if you get one.
cheers
