First time 940 owner

[Oneeyeblind]

Hey everyone. I'll cut Straight to it because I have a few things to cover!
I've recently gotten back into mountain biking and so has my partner. I've currently got a MK2 TT and you aren't putting two bikes inside that if you also intend to drive it.
A van makes the most logical sense, but! I don't want want to drive a van everyday...

Always loved the look of a 940. I suspect I could convince my Mrs that it's suitable.....

Does anybody else ride? Can I get two bikes in the back? (Preferably standing up without the front wheel, I don't want to lay them on top of eachother)

Are 940's now coming of age? Are they still dependable? I love tinkering with project's but I loathe breaking down on my way to work.

Are they crazy thirsty? Saw they average about 25 (hoping to get the 2.3 turbo)

Finally! What do I look out for? What's the best engine to get? What ones to avoid?

Cheers everyone really appreciate any help you can all give!
