Mine is a 1994 850 NA that I bought brand new. Its has 200K miles right now and has always been used mostly in large city (congested) traffic. In my country, gasoline has a 25% ethanol content. Maintenance issues were normal ones over this period.
Everything still works perfectly on the car.

My '94 NA with a manual transmission has around 227,000 miles on the (corrected) odometer. It uses about 1 quart of oil every 5,000 miles and runs perfectly.

Fuel mileage with the stick is in the mid 20 MPG range in the city and a tad over 30 MPG on the highway.
