Manuals are pretty good. My 93 3.0 Auto is crap.
The engines tough, but a little tired at 150k. Needs a tune up.
The auto transmission however, is on it's way out. I'm just slowly waiting for it to go. I hear that the manuals last almost as long as the engines. Damn near forever. As always, watch the clutch. A poor driver for a previous owner could have messed it up.
