New VW GTi or New Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

[backtofront001 10+ year member]

VW *****, I work at a garage and not only are the same cars in there over and over again for new problems, the parts are exspensive as hell. They are cheap, shitty ass cars disguised as not so shitty ass cars, but they are, in the end, nothing more than shitty ass cars. Mitsubishis are better all around, qualitywise, performance (in the long run, let's see what your GTi runs 5 years from now... oh wait, it won't run), etc. This isn't my opinion, it's fact. Get a GTi if you love talking to people at the shop, or love the coffee there, or somthing. Get an eclipse if you want a nice car to drive for awhile.

Dude you have made my problem even deeper. Godammit. Someone tell me ARE GTI's REALLY NOT RELIABLE.

Give me some feedback on reliability VW owners

Didn't I just tell you? Whatever, people who own them are like "oh yeah they rock, VW f0 LiF3!", obviously. There's reasons sites like http://www.vwsucks.com exsist. There's a reason they are in the shop all the time. Do what you want, if you really like them go ahead and get one. All cars have problems, VW cars just have more. All of my friends who drove them, had them break. Brand new ones too. I personally would never get a VW.

I would take the Mitsu myself just for the reliablity. That VW might last for ever, but do you want to fix it all the time to keep it for 250,000 miles. How long do you plan on owning it?? Jesus Christ doesn't ANYONE know how to think for themselves and make decisions anymore!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

i rather have the GTI. Eclipses can be unreliable too. Remember "why walk your dog when u can walk your crank"
