Twins vs My 2012 Eclipse SE
 

Hey guys I'm new to this forum but not new to the car forums. I'm a member of the Club4g.org and I bought my 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE 6 months ago. I love the looks and feels as it is my first car.

Before I bought the Eclipse I have heard the rumor of the Toyobaru Twin cars but I couldn't wait another 3~5 month to get an brand new car so I went with my affordable dream car. I paid total of 30k for the Eclipse.
Just to let you know a little detail of the Eclipse. 162 HP and 132 WHP with FWD Auto 4 speed.

I would love to try a 6speed manual tho.

What you guys think?

Not sure what exactly the question is but I think everyone here would agree hands down to pick the 86 over the eclipse.

Yes.

30k for 162 HP and 132 WHP with FWD Auto 4 speed?

Hey, man, whatever makes you happy...

The eclipse died a long time ago. Sorry man, shoulda shopped around more. For $30k you could have gotten a way better car.

:thumbdown: :sigh:

I have seen pictures of this car (not yours in particular)--it looks nice, but I can't say I would want to pay $30k for a fully loaded one. This car still needs a lot of work to be relevant as a "sports car."

So why did you post in this forum, what did you expect exactly? :iono:

Maybe? :wrongforum:

If you like the feel and looks of your eclipse, don't change, it'd be a waste. Secondly, if you like the looks and feel of an eclipse, I don't think you'll really appreciate the toyobaru. Does the four speed auto make you want to cry? If no, stick with it! If yes, shop, and check out the toyobaru.

I didn't realize anyone still made four speed autos...

+1. Forgot they even made an eclipse. Why was it so expensive?

The SE has upgraded wheels and a host of stuff like leather, big stereo, HID's, etc...

***I test drove a GT Eclipse a few years back and it was fairly quick, but it was just too heavy. It's a really
nice cruiser/GT car, especially with a drop in the suspension...it's just not really meant for all out performance

Believe it or not, nut 12 months ago I was looking at the Eclipse GT, I just couldn't understand the price tag. It was almost as much as my 370z.

Still though lets not trash his new car. It looks nice.

:word:


same level of power
same cost
huge weight advantage
rwd

is this a serious question?

I think you made a big mistake. The 3g Eclipse is outdated, boring, slow, and overpriced. No offense, but you asked what we thought, and this is what I think. I think you could find more enjoyment in a hundred other cars besides the Eclipse, starting with an FR-S/BRZ.

Had a '06 4G Eclipse GT "Eve". Sunset Pearlescent, D2 suspension, intake, etc. etc. Sold all of the extras separate.

Although it was a great car, and I loved it, I don't regret one moment trading it in for my "Fiona" - Firestorm FR-S 6MT.

Here was the day it was traded...

But still for $30k I would expect a lot more. I hope he is from canada because then it would not be as bad
