OG900s are pretty bullet proof except for as Speeder says, the gearboxes are kinda made of glass. there's ways to beef them up, but it gets expensive quickly, usually when modding a turbo for power. Parts are starting to get a bit hard to find, but its not THAT bad. I'd be looking for an 900 SPG Turbo. Kinda like the 993 of the 99/900 series.
The NG900/9-3 is a very good car, with a few things that need to be addressed. You can buy them dirt cheap, spend a weekend sorting it out, then have a quick, fuel efficient hatchback that can fit an entire 911 engine and transmission. It tows pretty well too.
The 9-3 is basically an updated 900, with all the little problem areas fixed.
Torque-steer on these cars is horrible, but improved with some reinforcement to the steering rack/firewall connection.
I typically buy an NG900 every couple years since they are dirt cheap. Have 8 months of fun for little work.
