eclipse

hi guys

Im just wonderinghow reliable is a 95-98 eclipse. How long do these usually last and how much maintinance is needed.

Would an eclipse be a better daily driver than a 95-98 civic

On autotrader the prices are almost the same so whats better for the buck?

thx

A non-turbo imho would be in the same league as the Civic(if tooken care of by the original owner). Same goes for the turbo models until you start modifing them.

well hey if you get a eclipse you dont have to worry about getting a better motor cuz the one in it is the best one for the car and you'll still be faster than most civics and i own one and i love it, FUCK HONDA MITSUBISHI FOREVER!!!!!!!

If you find a 95-99 gst under 5 grand then your probably looking at a car that someone beat the hell out of.
