i bought a 95 esi simply because in canada thats all we have. we don't get any mitsu at all so what jason was saying is the total opposite in canada. when ever i see an eclipse especially the 97-99 models my jaw just droppes. also i like the 95-96 talon better than the eclipse but the 97-99 is my all out favorite. oh and i bought an esi because i couldnt afford the insurance on an awd but, im glad i got the esi now =)
