Yup. I wouldn't bother with the 2.0L I4. Get either the LS with 2.5L V6 164hp & 160 ft/lb or a 1st generation GT turbo like mine with 2.2L 145hp & 190ft/lb.
I still have my 93 MX-6 LS V-6. I really like it. I have had it the longest of any car I have owned. It still runs well, and still gets in the mid-20's for gas mileage. I actually had someone ask me if it was a new model from Mazda.
