Hi there, well i wanted to buy a GST eclipse but im kind of worry about the trouble it might cause me....anyone here that know these car like the back of their hand, give me your problems and advice....

 

my advice is if you want a reliable car that can take abuse get a honda.
if you are someone who can take care of their car then the gst is a fun cheap and fast car. but if you plan on starting to modify keep in mind your reliability usually goes out the window.

 

I would say...If you plan on buying a dsm...Have some money in reserve just in case(but usually does) something breaks...Not saying its the cars fault but, previous owners abuse theirs car like hell and get all pissed off when something breaks.Thats why dsm have a bad rep...take care of it and u should be good to go

and before u kick urself in the ass later on in the future for not getting a gsx...buy a gsx unless u dont mind having fwd (GS-T)


just my .02

 

Good luck if you do end up getting one. I'm on my 3rd one so far and they've all treated me just right. Take care of the car and it'll take care of you. Like they said above, have some money in reserve just in case something would break (which would happen).

 

thanx all you guys alot....That what i was thinking too...i think every car depend on their owner... but i been thinking of getting a dsm because it the only nice car with turbo and body...but all my friend always say it gonna break down and stuff, you guys know the rep...but for now i think imma stick with a honda until i get more money and than i can get a eclipse to work on.....

 

true and its always something big, like a tranny! i have never had little gay problems, only big problems, and they really havent been that close together and 1 of them was my fault...so yea dont touch the timing belt, mod it right, and itl be fine....
