They are only cool when they are made of unobtanium. When they were sold domestically its just an old grocery getter.

A Chrysler Neon is probably considered cooler where I live.

You could say coolest is subjective.

[–] Delphia 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely.

Im Australian and as of next year the earliest 2nd generation eclipses are eligible for import from the states as a 30yo "classic"

And I'm sorely tempted.

Fun car, especially with the short stroke V6. Revy little thing.

[–] Delphia 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but that v6 was a terrible ownership proposition. It sounded amazing and was fun, but maintenance was an absolute pain in the knob, you had to become a walking lexicon of what parts from the 2.5 could be used and it just didnt make enough power to justify the long term headache of keeping one in good shape.

Read good things but haven't experienced the tiny V6. Yet.

Even the 4 banger was solid. Has the same engine as the/mk1 mx5.

They made a newer version of this too, plus it was an estate, had a sport version with a 2L I4 which to this day I think is a nice looking car (from the front)
