Sorry, forgot something. I've seen several that had a problem with the door hinges cracking loose where they are welded to the body, typically on the driver's door. Out of the 6 that I'm familiar with (mine, my dad's and my mom's), 3 had this issue. Also had some trouble with the exhaust manifold cracking, but that design flaw may have been corrected by the time the '97s came out.

You did say you handle the maintenance yourself? I believe at the '96 model they made the change to OBD2, which has to be scanned with a computer. Previous models, you could cycle the key from "unlock" to "run" 3 times within a 5 second timespan, and the "check engine" light would flash the codes. Up to you, of course, but sometimes having an idea what the problem is before sending it to a shop can save a lot of hassle.
