Default Which is more reliable/dependable?



I didn't see anything when i searched and it is somthing that i really need to know as i feel my next car purchase is gonna be one of the mitsu variety. </P>


Which is more dependable, or reliable: a first gen (91)awd eclipse, or an 88 starion? BOth have somewhat similar miles, but the bellhousing is cracked on the eclipse. I just don't want to invest a lot ofcash in something i won't be able to drive...</P>


Thanks for your time,</P>

well, a starion would be pretty cool to drive seeing how not many people have them</P>


</P>


but the GSX 1g would prob be ur best bet seeing how they dont really make parts for starions anymore</P>

I would say a 1g GSX. Can't go wrong with turbo and 4wd.

the 91 is a turbo I take it and the cracked bell housing is very common that is telling me it been drivin very hard , let off the clutch at a high rpm thats what happens every time........</P>


the transfer cases leak and seize as well so for reliability if your going to drive it hard niether car will really be good for being reliable,</P>


the 91 is a pretty simple car to work on the Starion and be a pain in the A** if your not familiar with how the fuel and ignition system works</P>


</P>


but if i had to chose it would be the 91 Eclipse if the price was right for it </P>


just my 2 cent"s</P>
