hello guys & girls...new to the forum..

i am interested in 07 eclipse spyder..(maybe going to buy early next yr)

but..i am getting lots of negative feed backs from my friends and etc...

they tell me mitsubishi cars are not reliable....they say i should consider S2000 or 350z roadster...or other brand..

but i want to ask you guys...(since you probably have mitsubishi cars in your garage already)...how is the quality of the car?

do cars break down easily...???

how would you rate your car??

recommend buying or i should listen to my friend...

any reply would help me decide...thnks.

if i had the money, i would choose an s2000 or 350z over an eclipse for sure

well buying a first gen is out of the question because mine has been broken as long as it has been running. but when it runs it runs darn good. especially being a gsx.

i think as long as the car has not been over abused and well maintaned there arent' many problems to be had, i've had my 99 eclipse gs for over a year now and the only 3 problems i've had w/ it were a thermostat, heater hose and oil pan gasket... as long as the oil is changed as recommended and fluids are kept up and timing belt is changed every apx 80K miles... i dont know of any major problems. although if you do look into a 2g eclipse GS-T or GSX there is something called Crankwalk that will come into play.

are you sure it supposed to be changed at 80k? because i always heard your supposed to do it at 60k. but then again, thats just what i think.

it very well may be 60k... i thought it was 80k but i'm no mechanic....

mines at 80k now and i have not had any problems yoe well it just hit 80k AND IT a 97 lol not driven alot i wiuld go with a 350 if u got the money the new eclipse spyder is not that grate there is a vid on it look on the right for the spyder link (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=109902#)
