No. Not a girls car. But it is a piece of sh|t.

Bingo.

it think its Uni.... both for guys and girls... or for a metrosexual who is not too rich.

I think the mechanical soundness of the vehicle and it's reputation for reliability or performance should be a tad more important than if a bunch of guys insecure in thier masculinity will think you're gay if you drive it. That's just me though...

personally, the only car i think that is considered a girls car is a Cavalier. I think the Eclipses are cool

I had a new black Eclipse '98 GSX (all-wheel drive, turbo), sold it after putting about 180K miles on it in about 4/5 years.

Was very reliable, very few issues. Build quality wasn't the best, but not horrible. Any problems I always associated to the 'Chrysler' in them.

Are they a girls car? Well, girls like them, that's for sure. Always had chics saying they loved my car, but that's not always a bad thing. Yes lots of girls drive lower-end Eclipses, but lots of girls drive Maximas, Civics, and Mustangs as well.

Quick car, AWD was great, too much body roll for my taste however.

I think they're reliable cars, especially the turbos with the Mitsubishi engines, as long as they haven't been beat on (and that's a big AS LONG AS).

Personally, I don't like the newer Eclipses - 'boring' compared to the last generation.

Good luck...

Don't worry about it. When I had an 87 Wrangler the CJ-5 guys used to say it the Wrangler was a girls car. When I had 96 Eclipse Nissan and Honda guys used to say it was a girls car. When I had a 90 Silvia Mitsu and Honda guys used to say it was a girls car. When I had a 87 Saab 800 Turbo, everyone said is was an ugly hippie chicks car! Don't bother with those weenies who claim you car is a girls car.

1999 and earlier models with the 4G63 turbo? No.

1999 and earlier models withOUT the 4G63 turbo? Yes.

Any model 2000+? Hell yes. It's not even remotely the same car as the earlier models, Mitsu just gave it the same name.

dont think theres a car they associate with anything "good". its either a hicks car, a ricers car, a wife beaters car, old mans car, soccer moms car, or a girls car.

i don't see how a turbo can make a car more masculine than one without.
Teh logic is not found.

Not many 4 cylinders can be relatively inexpensively modified to run 10 second 1/4 miles...
