The choice is simple - Just ask yourself - Do I want rice or beef?

A real man (or woman) willchoose beef every time.

I owned a '99 eclipse GST (turbo). It was really fun, and I'm sure the newer models (V6) are also. Very sporty, lots of power around the rest of traffic.

But when I bought my Mustang last year, I was stunned at what a different world it was. It was pure power, no questions asked. You could tell what it was built for.

So yeah, you'll be happy with either choice. The eclipse will give you an awesome all-around car with a nice interior, sunroof, fun stuff, good performance, cruising type feeling, while the Mustang will give you a drive it like you stole itfeeling.

Have you checked with a insurance agent. Either car is going to cost a ton unless you marry an agent.

I would buy anything rear wheel drive, before I would touch anything front wheel drive. But that is just me.

Mustang of course. But you're asking a Mustang forum, so we're biased
