Default I am looking into buying a Mitsubishi Eclipse.... it has always been my

dream car. 2nd gen Vs 3rd gen? I want to buy a Mitsubishi Eclipse... i am all into the looks of the car... I have always liked the 2nd gen... but have heard TOO many times that the tranny goes out on them at about 100-120k miles... i am absolutely horrible with engines and what not... so i want one that will be reliable but also has some power to it... I was thinking the 3rd gen might be more reliable just because i havent heard much about them breaking down all the time... is this true? i want a turbo (mainly for the blow off valve... that sound to me is amazing.. lol) but it seems like the turbo eclipses break down ALL the time... and im not engine smart at all... so i heard i can go with the non turbo and put a small turbo under 8psi.. i guess the engine can handle that no problem... or i can just go with a v6 3rd gen eclipse and maybe put a turbo on that... i personally like the looks of the 2nd gen way better... but they can both look good... any opinions? i just dont want my car breaking down all the time and needing to be takin to the shop... and the dreaded tranny breaking on the 2nd gens...































thanks in advance
