choice of cars...

[Snake Eyes]

I'm planning on purchasing a new car, and I am 18 and wondering if I should go with:

Saturn Ion Redline
or
Mitsubishi Eclipse

Please state why you think one is better. No bs please.

Im not a big saturn fan! iwould go with the mitsu beacause I think the rally type style is alot cooler than whatever saturn has goin on there:thumbsup:

plz explain how an eclipse is in any form a rally type car? thats right, its not, and plz would you really choose an american car over a japanese car? even though the only thing thats japanese about the eclipse is the mitsubishi name but its gotta be better than a saturn (at least i hope so)

Ion Redline from those choices - maybe look at an SRT-4 though. 3g Eclipses suck ass :dunno:

i heard that the mitsu has quite a few problems .. that's wat i heard .. n as for the saturn .. i duno nethin bout them ... why not try a honda or vw?

[t-im]

just get a RSX.....saturn? :(

[cujo_cjc]

get a rsx type s man
the 05 is coming out in a month or two
with minor exterior updates and also some engine updates (210hp/new final drive/)

I'd choose the Saturn Ion Redline from your list.

My girlfriend had an Ion (not the redline) and it was a great little car. Comfy and reliable. Not much else to say about it. If it had more get up and go, I'm sure she would have kept it. But now she's into SUV's. Anyways, I'd look at the Dodge SRT-4 as 1badPT suggested - they look like a blast to drive.

race mods hmm well just exactly what kind of racing are u referring to? cuz thatll influence your selection.

[statick]

out of the 2 u stated, i personally wouldnt go with either...RSXS/Sentra spec-v/Mazda3GT are ur best options IMO.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but why are you only looking at new cars? I have had a couple friends finance brand new cars, saying that they want to be the very first owner and that it's great that it's under warranty. I told them both that they should consider slightly used cars (both wanted to get brand new civics and I said for that much money why not get an Integra) and now both wish that they had. You could save some money by buying a used car, and most likely nothing major will need replacing while a new car is under warranty anyways. But if you really want something new, get an RSX type S.

RSX-S, WRX, Mazda 3GT, Focus SVT, SRT-4...

The Red Line is supposibly ass to drive, the gearing's all wrong and the product was rushed to showroom floors. Fit and Finish isn't there.


Offcourse I've never driven one, only going by what Sport Compact Car said. :D
