I concur, regarding the 2.3L 10v fivers.  They're rugged and quite possibly
in the top five for VAG's all-time most durable engines.   Not to say that
they're perfect, but they certainly deserve respect.  And best, is that
they're a non-interference design, so catastrophic failure is less likely
than their V6 replacements.  I dig em.
