Well, I finally talked my 97 Dodge Stratus into running again this weekend, but I don't trust the thing, and I'm looking to trade it in. Here's the top 3 choices I'm looking at, and I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who owns/drives any of these models.

1) Mitsubishi Eclipse 3000GT - decent gas mileage, lots of speed and power, and it looks sweet. Most expensive of the 3, and would probably be an arm and a leg to insure, since I'm a 22 year old male.

2) Volkswagen Jetta - I've heard lots of nice things about it, and it seems to have a lot of room for such a small car. Gets better gas mileage, and wouldn't be as much to insure.

3) Toyota Echo - AWESOME gas mileage (40-45 mpg), and I can get one with all the options I want for about 13.5K. The only bad thing is it looks kinda stupid, and since it's a completely new model, finding parts could be a pain, if anything should go wrong.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer.
