Where do you get your info?

 

CR or JD I think. But I can't see the Mini being on CR's list - it has been at the bottom for years.

Still, I'd only buy the WRX. And I'd put up with problems as the cost of ownership of the Vette and 911.

 

I have a hard time believing the Eclipse is a "reliable" car. Maybe they changed their ways with the manufacturing process, but it's still owned by GM and worked by employees who seem to only be scheduled on Mondays and Fridays.

 

i want link.

 

Mitsu is in no way affiliated with GM.

 

I Think he means chrysler

 

Maybe the newer/slower eclipses - not the good 1st and 2nd gens - hmm, interseting, the boring mitsu's are more reliable...

 

The 1st and 2nd gen DSMs weren't reliable either. They had lots of electrical gremlins. But they were fun, which I can't say about the current porker. I think Mitsu makes its cars out of pig iron. The DSMs weighed more than a Mustang or Camaro, and the 3000 was over 4000 lbs!

 

I had a 97 GSX 5-speed. Basically an "evo" what with the 4G63 and the standard trans and AWD. FUN car. BUT, the transmission was **** (and the clutch and crankwalk blah blah blah) and the shift fork went to crap and the transmission ended up failing and I coasted into a gas station. (This was 50 miles from home in the middle of nowhere) Turns out it locked the trans in 5th and Reverse at the same time. Wow. Yeah, all 4 wheels locked up solid, and of course I had sticky tires on. It was a BITCH getting pulled onto a flatbed. Burned out his first whinch. haha Fun car besides that tho, albeit heavy as hell. 3500 lbs curb weight I believe? Somewhere around 3800 with the automatic I was told at one time.
