I truly wish people would stop talking out of their ass on this site. It's unbelievable how much misinformation there is here. Have you ever owned a Mitsubishi? Or are you going by what every other internet parrot says?

I've owned two turbo talons -- 1G, and 2G, and a mitsubishi galant. I like to think I'm qualified enough to give an opinion. Any modified car will have reliability problems if its not done right, and beaten to s**t -- which unfortunately -- most DSMs are.

Stock for stock, the mitsubishi will win over the focus in EVERY SINGLE QUALITY -- reliability, fit and finish, performance, resale value, handling, features, aftermarket support, all except interior appearance -- i think the Focus takes that hands down.

If you have a chance to get a CLEAN UNMODIFIED UNMOLESTED eclipse -- I STRONGLY recommend jumping on the deal because there are very few left that are in desirable condition.

Wow, you jump on me for giving my opinion, but your last statement agrees with what I said? Let me restate what you said. "There are very few left that are in desirable condition." That says it all.
I think i might be a little more qualified than some as I work in the auto industry. Not the most qualified, but I make a point of checking out the competition.. And this car , in fact, was one that my son took an interest in before he bought the Focus. We took 2 for a test drive. Why 2? The first one overheated after 10 minutes and we had to walk back to the dealer. Brand new. Nice.

You have your experiences and I have mine. The Mitsu dealer in town, is a crook. Flat out crook.

Now, maybe if we can get you to take your Fingers out of your ass long enough to understand that I was giving my opinion from personal experience, then you could add to the conversation.

We make alot of fun of the Focus, but it won car of the year for what, 6 years running. I didn't see any Mitsu products accomplish that. Or am i missing a finger?
