Re: Buying a 2007 Eclipse GT

Heres my personal insight on the car.

In what, 2005, GM introduced a price drop on all the MSRP's of their cars.

People, naturally being the cheap asses they are, almost shit their pants and everyone went out and bought a fucking chevy.

Now chevy is a good company, but compare an Impala now, with one from 1990.

They feel cheap.

Ok now on to the Eclipse.

Recently car makers figured out how to save money. PLASTIC. Nasty fucking word. Why make the doors out of metal when you can save 1/3 and make 'em plastic?

Ok, I have a 2001 GS and it feels pretty soild. I also have a 99 RS and the same, its pretty well built.

I was going to go buy a 2006 so I could have a 2G, 3G, and now 4G. (Then buy a 1G later.) Until I test drove a 2006 GT. I shut the fucking door and it sounded like a fucking Barbie Dream Corvette. It felt cheap as hell. Yeah Recaro leather is nice, and so it the wussy-ass 420 watt sub they threy inside of the back-bitch-seat. But it felt like SHIT.

So I guess what I am getting at is go buy a fucking 2005 GT-S instead. You could probably buy 2 fucking 200#'s for the price of the 2006/7 peices of shit.

Honestly. Go buy something like a 2003 GTS and spent 15,000 on it in MODS instead of buying a damn-near stock 2007.

Think about it..

Nice, but for a price, and their peices of shits.

Plus the engine size isnt really that great. Theres studies out about the output of an engine and the size of the engine, top speeds, torgque and RPS's and certian combonations dont mix.

The insurance rating from 1-6 (6 being BMW's, Land Rovers, Other expansive cars to fix, ETC) An eclipse is rated a 5.9 meaning expensive repairs after your 3 year 36,000 mile warranty dies a horrible death.

Im done.
