Background: Having owned a 92 Eclipse GSX brand new from 1992 to 1999, I've been in love with DSMs for a long time. I've owned many fast cars (69 Mustang with built 351 Cleveland, 95 Cobra and 96 Mustang GT), but nothing ever compared to how much I enjoyed that AWD Eclipse. Recently I found this TSi AWD for a fair price on CL in Denver and bought it. It's been 18 years and I feel like a kid again! I plan on taking good care of this car.
