Default 2006 Eclipse GT

I have to say this car moves pretty well. It has great torque but the downside is the torque steer. I have never driven a FWD with that much power. The body roll is pretty significant. The interior wasn't too bad either, but didn't seem as good a quality as the S.

My buddy claims he is going to start going to auto-cross races with me. It will be interesting to see how he does.

Overall, interesting car, but not more so than my S

Yeah, I was going to say that they were pretty heavy. I never liked the Eclipses since their last redesign. The new one still looks like crap.

That pissed my brother off, too. He's a die-hard FD fan.
