Cressida MX83 Turbo questions

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right subforum for this but I just had a few questions about the turbo cressidas getting around as I'm toying with buying one. I'm currently driving a 1993 Mazda MX6, which is a reliable daily driver, but want something more practical (4 doors) and with some grunt.
I'm looking at buying an MX83 Cressida with a 1JZ conversion already done, preferably a Grande model as I want leather, sunroof, cruise, and all the other niceties, but mainly for the ABS. Don't care whether it is auto or manual, but manual is preferred as my current car is auto and bores me.
* Do these cars handle well? Or would I have to perform a fair few suspension mods to bring it in line with the MX6?
* How much do you guys pay to insure one of these (I'm 26) and who through?
* What is the fuel usage like? How many km per litre? I get around 8.5km per litre around down, and 11-12km per litre on the freeway.
* How reliable are these cars? Expensive to fix also?
* And how much would I be looking at for a Grande with a 1JZ conversion done?
I'm hoping to just swap my MX6 for one, or at least with minimal price difference. This will be a daily driver so I don't want something that breaks all the time.
* How quick are they 'stock' with the 1JZ? 13.8?
Anything else I should know?
Thanks for any help
