The engine in that car is supposedly a lot more reliable than the problem-plagued 4G63T that resides in the turbocharged second generation Eclipses/Talons. My mechanic swears by that engine, and has one in his Neon that pushes 432 wheel horsepower.

That said, it's still probably not as reliable as a Celica, and the car isn't as unique either. I've got two friends with second generation Eclipses, and both of them are having various problems besides their engines right now. Both are having transmission and sensor issues.

I'd stick with the Celica if I were you. smile.gif
