the 2.6 is slower than the 2.5
my mate had a 98 GSI and tbh i loved it, great all around car, but try to get one that has had the cambelt done, and head gaskets are quite often a problem, and its always on the back 3 cylenders that goes too 
theres a few omega V6's in the scrappy near me with just the head gasket gone, because all of the garages are too retarded and say they cant fix them

This is also true. Had one here with head gasket. Also had one with a snapped con-rod
Infact i still have a box of bits from that one

I liked my old V6 SuperTouring. Juice wasn't too bad until you hoofed it, then you could get it in to single figures on the MPG calc.
Oil coolers are a weak spot, as is rust around rear arches, sills and the dear door catchs.
Awesome cars though, I'd have another tomorrow
