I was using the more general meaning of the word lemon, meaning "defective, imperfect, or unsatisfactory", as opposed to the legal term.

This not only assumes that I drive my car in a manner that it was not designed for, but also assumes that the only time a car breaks down or has any kind of mechanical problems the blame lies solely on the driver. Neither of these strike me as accurate assumptions.

I had a 1994 Ford Escort for like 4-5 years and it never had so much as a hiccup. Everything worked perfectly from the day I bought it until the day I sold it. I used good parts and fluids in the Escort, just like I do in my Eclipse. The difference, despite this, is clear.

The $65.00 ( varies from dealership to dealership ) can save you a lot more in the long run.

I did all of that and more. The car is very well maintained, despite it constantly breaking down. I absolutely did a carfax before purchasing; it was clean.

I'm a little surprised at the judgmental nature of the response, not to mention that my question really hasn't been answered.
