Jason Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I will be buying a new car some time between October and February (I know, still a few months off). Right now my top 2 contenders are the Mustang and the Eclipse, both in the GT convertible versions. Does anyone have either of these cars (in the new body styles)? Do you like it? What, if anything, do you not like about it? How is the acceleration? Cornering/handling? Would you buy it again? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do like OnStar, and haven't done the test drives yet, so the G6 isn't totally out of the running. How is the acceleration and handling/cornering for the G6?

Acceleration is pretty much the same, at least to me. Test driving them is the best idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a car back in the late 90s that was nice looking and fun to drive, but in the first 2 years I had it I had to replace the O2 sensor 5 times. Fortunately it was still under warranty. How comfortable is it on a 1000 mile trip? How does it handle in heavy rain (since it never snows in south florida)? Other little things that you have to own the car and live with it for 6 months or more to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 [s]Oh, I just remembered they had a new Camaro at the Taste of the NFL event. It too looked sweet. I'll have to get more info on that as well.[/s] Looks sweet, but it's not coming out until the 2009 model year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
