Mazda rx8, Mitubishi Eclipse or Ford F150 Truck? Which one should I choose?
Question Posted Saturday September 17 2011, 1:00 am
I am looking into getting a new car and im looking at an 08 Mitsubishi eclipse and a Mazda rx8 ooooor a 2007 f150. BUT i have heared a lot of bad things about all of them at some point. do Rx8's really not last? Thats what i keep hearing and I know the eclipse had a few bad years but i thought it was the early 2000 model not the knew one or the ones before 1999.
People can have problems with the RX8 because if it's started, it needs to be driven for at least 5 minutes before being stopped again. If you stop it too soon after starting it, it can total the engine. It's just a part of the engine design. It's also really not fuel-efficient. It's a fun car, not a practical car. My dad's had his for a few years and bought it at 2 years old. He's loved it. One more catch: not much space. The trunk is okay, the back seat is pretty tiny.
As for the F150, also not very fuel-efficient because it's a large vehicle. It depends on what you need the car for. If you do a lot of carting around or towing, it will trump the other cars. Otherwise, it might be unnecessary. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
