What are you talking about? I have had the car( my car in picture ) almost a year, in that time I have heavly modified it ( purchased it stock )and to date have had little to no problems unless they are things that I caused. Eclipses, Talons and Lasers ( DSM's ) are reliable cars as long as you keep up on maintaining them and dont go cheap on things ( always use Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and the highest octane gas you can get ).
Any car, if not maintained will always be in the shop. Doesnt matter what car it is. Treat it right and it will treat you right.
