Default Deciding on Mitsubishi or Nissan as first car!

Hi guys! Well, I come from a family that runs a car shop and really its about time for me to start driving my first car and my dad gave me two options.

Nissan 300ZX
1993 Convertible
160k Miles
5 Speed

or

Mitsubishi Eclipse
2006
Low Low Miles, lol
Auto Sport Tranny

Of course this is all based on opinion, and I understand clearly an Eclipse would be better for my sake that it is more reliable, but really I'd like to know more info on why the Eclipse would be a better car in general or why the 300ZX would be. I'm sure there are some Mitsu enthusiasts in here know what their talking about and would give me some helpful feedback, THANKS!

the 300zx's were very nice and for the most part reliable cars, but many of the parts for them were expensive as it was more of a rare car than an eclipse, and with the Nissan already having 160,000 on the clock it could get very expensive very quick. They areboth nice looking cars and i've always loved the fairlady Z, but in this case, i'd have to go with the Mitsubishi.. of course I have an Evo, so i'm probablya bit biased too.

I am on my 3rd 4g63T so I can tell you more than this guy ^^^^

300zx is better in Ttop, the bad thing about them are that its common to have the power steering fluid leak out of them. of course cost pertains tot his too, how much is each? and honestly I would take a 300zx over anything about a 2g eclipse. 1g/2g > 3g/4g so yha.
