Mitsubishi Eclipse - Page 2

I had a '95 Corolla before I got my Eclipse (new) almost 3 years ago and it didn't go up very much at all (I'm in Jersey [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] and I was 22 at the time). I don't think you'll have a terrible insurance premium when you drop off your parents' policy. Increasing your deductible will decrease your premium as well.

I don't think there are as many tricked-out Eclipses as Civics, but there are plenty. That's not my kind of thing though. Now that I've said that, I did put new wheels on mine two months ago. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

For 10K dude you could buy a brand new Chevy Aveo.

According to the website it has "Impressive Fuel Economy with a 1.6 Liter Engine" and it's the "Lowest Priced Car in its Class with CD/MP3 Player (select models)".

And the clincher - "The 2005 Chevy Aveo was designed with surprising features, roominess and refinement."

I think the choice is obvious.

Yeah, and I could buy a Cobalt too...

No thanks on either.

Nice pics [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They also had a black one at this dealership (the one I liked was the white). They don't have a picture of the white one on their site but they have the black on :

Only real difference between the 2 are the black one has a blacked out back window and clear tail lights. It did have 25k more miles though and didn't look quite as sharp as the white one. I could get it for around 1-1.5k less though.

I guess they do get riced out quite a bit, must be a Cali thing.

Thanks!

I'm not a fan of white cars, but that's totally a personal preference.

Not an Eclipse, but I owned a 2001 Galant for long time. Very reliable.

Mitsubishi=all the benefits of a Japanese car, without paying the premium for the Toyota or Honda name.

I just had my 1995 Eclipse RS die on my sister 2 weeks after I gave it to her. The person before it had tried to mod and trick it out (which makes you wonder why the hell they didn't get the V6) and the electronics were [censored]. I had lots of problems, but don't know if I can really blame the car. Still, I'm not wild about suggesting them to somebody else.
