    They are only cool when they are made of unobtanium. When they were sold domestically its just an old grocery getter.

      A Chrysler Neon is probably considered cooler where I live.

        Absolutely.

        Im Australian and as of next year the earliest 2nd generation eclipses are eligible for import from the states as a 30yo “classic”

        And I’m sorely tempted.

    Fun car, especially with the short stroke V6. Revy little thing.

      Read good things but haven’t experienced the tiny V6. Yet.

      Even the 4 banger was solid. Has the same engine as the/mk1 mx5.

      They made a newer version of this too, plus it was an estate, had a sport version with a 2L I4 which to this day I think is a nice looking car (from the front)

      Yeah but that v6 was a terrible ownership proposition. It sounded amazing and was fun, but maintenance was an absolute pain in the knob, you had to become a walking lexicon of what parts from the 2.5 could be used and it just didnt make enough power to justify the long term headache of keeping one in good shape.
