For anyone who wants to rely on that thing to get to work and back, I’d say no.

I know you guys are import junkies on this forum or whatever, but honestly you can get a 97 sport limited edition thunderbird for half what that eclipse costs, and everything will be half.

Half the insurance rate, half the maintenance, everything.

Even with a v8 the thing nearly gets 30mpg on the freeway.
