Welcome 
Pretty bullet proof engine. Don't really suffer from any issues except erratic/no idle which is easy to fix. Keep up with belt changes and servicing and it will go on and on
With regards to the temp, on a run it should sit between 80 and 90, in traffic it can go as high as 110 but should never go over. Its completely normal and does seem hot. I think a lot of people just panic because it goes over half the gauge but don't panic. its normal!
