Considering a 2006 Eclipse GT...

I recently got a pretty decent raise at work and I'm gonna buy a new car within probably 6 months... I'm seriously considering the 2006 Eclipse GT with a 6 speed tranny. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on them? Any flaws ?? I know there's been at least 2 recalls on the brake system...

I'm currently rebuilding and modding a 1991 Toyota Supra Turbo so the Eclipse would not be my "high HP" car... I'm just looking for a fun brand new car to replace my 1989 Honda Accord daily driver / beater, LOL... I've considered as low as a Scion TC and as high as a Infiniti G35 Coupe.... but I also don't want to spend "too much" money since I already have my "fun" car with the Supra... so the Eclipse kinda falls in that category :)

Any advice appreciated....

Scion TC??? disgusting LOL I'd say either the Eclipse or something like the Sentra Spec-V SE-R model (I have the sentra GXE and it gets great mileage and is rather sturdy on the road after adding a spoiler the sound system is decent in it with an aftermarket head unit only and it's overall fun to drive... Keeps getting me in trouble LOL).

The '06 is a blast. I've had mine since June, and she's got 6000+ miles. Still a real fun drive. :)

if not an eclipse those new tibrons "if i spelled that right" are nice as well.

Nope you didn't spell it right Tiburon LOL

damn! LMAO.

THAT'S IT!! Back to spelling class for you!!

that is how i would spell it damn korean cars.

theyre awesome, any car that can run next to a 350z and still be 10 grand less deserves more attention. i drive them all day, and ive found out the auto feels faster... i think the ratios are better suited than the stick...its just kool barking into 3rd!!!!

jesus christ....what is suppose to be in the big huge space below your post?

I'm not sure I WANT to know what's s'posed to be there....

I have an 06 Eclipse in a 6 speed and I absolutely love the car. As for the brake recalls, that was no fault on Mitsubishi. It was a defect on Bosch's part. Mitsubishi and Bosch has handled the brake problem. All the bugs are worked out and its running smooth.

Good to hear they fixed that problem. Glad you're lovin your car too.
