95's do fine with aftermarket cats if they are good quality, the 95 is OBD1 so it does not need the secondary O2 which is why folks have trouble on the M44 cars with aftermarket cats. If you use a Random Tech or another real all metal matrix cat your fine.
In general my 1995 ti has cost WAY less to own than about any other car I've had.
Tuneups are 1/2 the price of a Toyota or Honda if you find a good local shop to handle it.
Its so simple I'd do it myself if I was in student status. All it is is plugs and filters.
DO NOT use quick lube shops, they will "F" up the oil drain plug and oil filter system.
If you can avoid the temptation to mess with it (Engine mods etc) overall its
a pretty economical vehicle, at 170K Miles I'd expect rubber bushings, shocks, seals to be needing attention.
FYI I'm 48 and owned a car or two... LOL Most of which I wore out... 200 to 300K miles each.
