Hey guys, now hear me out I LOVE MY 1996 CELICA GT!! I absolutley love it, its never given me problems and I love modding it, but.. but I was looking at the Eclipse GSX (awd turbo, 200hp) and its almost the same price, its a little more expensive, and the insurance is a lot more.. I was wondering what you guys think of that comparison and if you guys know any pros / cons for each car.. despite the obvious of course! I love my 6gc but Im scared I might trade it in and buy a GSX on day, talk me out of it!

^^^ parts arent necessarily cheap in DSM's... my friend bought a 97 talon tsi awd and 4th gear went out a little while later...Turns out that other parts of the drivetrain were damaged ( i dont remember how) but anyway basically to get his transmission just REBUILT, cost him 2500...ok u have to remember, AWD trannys are expensive as hell. so yes you may be able to soup the cars up for cheap, but you cant necessarily "fix" them for cheap.... also another tid-bit...i know 3 guys with turbo dsm's... 2 have crankwalk....the ONLY way u can fix this is by swapping the engine....and nobody on this site can just say " oh well yeah all u gotta do is slap a 1st gen motor in it"....easier said than done...i suggest if you are really interested go to dsmtuners.com to check out info on them...my best friend drives a dsm, so i know almost as much about them, as i do about celicas...and yes if you have a dsm you WILL become a mechanic...
