A VERY RELIABLE CAR

I bought this car 10 years ago and the only problems is the timing belt broke at 120,000 and normal wear. Very reliable. It is now at 200,000 and running strong. My last car never made it past 120,000.

Very Fun to drive. Is a manual and goes very fast. The car is very compact and I'm a high school girl, so great for highschoolers. Can't fit a lot of people in the car. Great Handling.

My new car

I just purchased my eclipse this february. So far, it has given me no problems (knock on wood). I was lucky to find this car with only 63000 miles! That is not very common for this car. Most have well over 100,000; which, gives me faith that my car will last a long time. I am small, so i fit in it very comfortably. This car is also very fun to drive. I recommend this car to anyone!

Growing up I remember all the parts that wore out on my parents' cars. The only parts that wore out on my Eclipse have been front brakes and the battery. My parents replaced shocks, mufflers, thermostats, radiator hoses and belts, distributers, fuses, bulbs, brakes, etc., etc. The Eclipse has started everytime. My parents cars would often be difficult to start. We had a Ford wagon that was difficult to stop the motor. American car companies showed a lack of respect, even disdain, for the customer when they were making so much money and so many lemons at the same time. Japanese show respect by building solid vehicles from econo cars up.

Engine - strong; everything else - weak

Car is nearly 10 years old (87,000 miles). The engine is very strong and reliable. The electronics are an abomination. I've gone thru 4 computers - 2 in the last year! Shorts everywhere. The dash molding was falling apart after 1 year. The paint job is horrendous. It is now more like powder. I've never seen this on another Eclipse, but can't explain my situation. Car was garage-kept for the first 6 years, and waxed at least once per year (usually 2-3) and hand washed.
