What is better to buy a talon tsi or an eclipse gsx?

i personally like the eclipse's better because of the backend (and it's an import) but other than that they are bascially the same car. the talon is a little cheaper to buy and maybe a little cheaper on insurance too so you might want to consider that if you're buying one.

Besides, you can always make your Talon look like an Eclipse with a few changes. At the end you will most likely end up saving money that way.

Neither car is more of an 'import' but you are mainly correct.

Basicly the exact same car. A few body differences.

If you want to find a good car in a good condition, a Talon TSi AWD will be easier to find than an eclipse GSX unless you get REALLY lucky. Kinda wish I had AWD, so dont give up on it. Good luck.
