I own a 92 V6 TX5 and it's a great car! Mines done 254,000k's and still going like a champion. They are pretty expensive parts wise, but mine has been excellent and goes like the clappers too. I'll get a 0-100km/h clip if anyone wants to host it to have a look. I flog the absolute crap out of it cos it's just my daily run about and the only thing I've had to replace is the clutch, but it was a bit sad when I bought it and only cost about $350 to replace.
I love my Falcons to death, but Jap cars are in a completely different league, hence the reason they tend to hold their value pretty well. I recommend them highly if you get a well looked after example, mines done a lot of k's but it's got a full service history and judging by where the car came from, they are mainly hwy k's.
It does use it's fair share of fuel when given a hard time, I don't think it's any worse than your average Falcon, a tank costs about $50 to fill and I get 350 hard k's out of it, when babied it gets about 450k's.
4WS was an option, mine is a manual TX5 Ghia and only has 2WS.
