I my self am very new to eclipses, but from working on them with my friends i found them to be very easy and reliable. As with any car it relly depins on what you plan on getting with the five grand, but make sure it'll all work togather. one thing you gotta ask yourself is what do you plan on doing? Show car, street racing, drag racing, ect. this will determin what your moolas go into. another thing to remimber is if this is your only mode transportation, and do you have suffecient funds for supporting mods/broken parts.

Now as for which car to get, I say the GSX. Yesterday i went and test drove them both, GSX all the way. I've heard alot of negative things about the GSTs. but thats just my .02

O ya and another thing, you mentioned fuel economy, it rell depins on what year you get but some are v6s, not sure which years so just do a lill googlin and you'll find what your lookin for.

Welcome. With a small amount of mods the 2gs are easily brought into the low 14's in the 1/4 mile
