The Mustang is more expensive in manual from some years because they use the TKO 5 speed.

Also when matching up a car to the Eclipse consider the warranty. Yes, there are some manufacturers that have a good warranty with their vehicles but not all of them :P

Very true. Most car companies now (import, not domestic) offer 6 year/60,000 mile warranties on the car, and 10/100,000 on the powertrain.

hands down get the v6. from different threads ive read on the club4geclipse website, a much more prominent forum, the inline-4 w/ turbo was dynoed and its results were a few whp below that of the stock mivec v6. sio yea, v6 all the way

Get the GT, definetly

about the price of the v6gt. its around 30k after insurance and everything else, ONLY if u get the premium package. u can walk out the door paying about 26-27k for the v6 GT if u get it stock, w/o leather and other luxuries. if ur paying more then that...then damn, ur gettin ripped

...

Traction control is not available on the 4 Cyl. But it is standard on the V6. Not trying to offend anyone, but if you cannot handle the 4 cyl eclipse then maybe you should be driving a Honda. ;)

ahahaha, thats all i have to say.

Also my first post, and I just bought an 07 GS and traded in an 02 Monte Carlo SS and was concerned about room as well (I am 6'5"). Although I didnt go there to buy an EVO I DID go there to buy a 6spd GT along with an auto GS for the wife.

They didnt have a single 6spd GT on the lot so the sales dude says "have you driven the 5spd GS?". I thought what the hell and took it for a spin. As far as I am concerned it has more than enough power. My "my car is faster than your car" days are behind me so I wanted something that looked good and had a little pep to it. The only option I wanted was Sun & Sound so I got both cars for 22K each (they discounted the auto trans on the wife's car). I am ordering fog lights for it, but other than that I will leave it alone for the time being (tinted windows goes without saying).

I am thinking that unless someone feels like they need to get somewhere in a hurry the GS is more than adequate.

Just my two cents.

If I spent somewhere in the area of $30k for a new car it would probably be a new 400HP GTO.

I just wish it wasn't called a GTO.

I think it's the other way around.

I had the option of getting a stock GS for 25000 or a stock GT for 30000 because I have this wonderful thing called negative equity (thus the need for GAP insurance) and I have 5000 dollars worth of it...........so you GTs can talk bad about my GS all you want, but as long as you're driving a stock GT know that I could afford what you have if I weren't paying off 5000 dollars on another car. :P

I got the GS and it wasnt cutting the butter for me, I live about 8 miles from my school, classes start at 7:00 I leave home at 6:50 and never made it on time in the GS, I saved up 3grand and changed it for a Gt, now I leave home at 6:55 and get to school faster. Just my 2 cents.

Gran Turismo Ottomaga...It's somthing in Native American I dunno what tho sorry :blush-anim-cl:

you are an ****, maybe you should leave earlier.

I had a 2006 GS first, traded that in for the 09 GT. Car wise, best trade I ever made, I have modded my new car, and Im beating my buddies modded 06 mustang gt. If you arent into that, the gt will do nothing for you but use more gas and have a higher monthly payment. Just depends on what you are looking to use it for.
