Hi Ed,
GLT is also know as the "soft turbo".
850 T5 has a great motor but the tranny is less than bullet proof.
T5R is a very good car, (I'm not sure how much more hp it has over the T5) but I do believe it has the same tranny.
Avoid anything year 1993 (First year production, know for problems and parts are rare/expensive).
I've heard of the T5 going 200,000 mi or better without problems.
Be sure the car you buy has had the serpentine belt replaced recently, if not make it the first thing you do.
Armie
