Replying to: mamiya (Feb 09, 2008 10:17 am) It was not done by the dealer. I took it to Firestone for an oil change and decided to rotate the tires also. After that I noticed the noise. Maybe I should take it back.
#342 of 400 insurance by sliceopizza Feb 11, 2008 (9:13 am)
Hi, I'm looking at a used 2007 GS and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on the insurance rates for this car. I realize everyone will pay a different amount based on driving history, geographic location etc. I'm just looking for info on whether eclipse owners feel their insurance is high, low or about the same as a civic, tc or other similiar coupe. I could call my insurance lady but I don't want to bother her with ANOTHER insurance quote request. Thanks in advance!

Replying to: shadowdw (Jan 28, 2008 5:23 pm) "...Can the stock cd player be changed to a custom one..."   I can't help you there, I not a tech guy. Just a guess though, since they put the 450 watt system in the same place as the standard 140 unit I would think you should be able to upgrade. I would check with your local custom audio shop to see if they could do the job.   You might also check with the dealer. I seem to remember a post on this board where the poster had the dealer replace the standard unit with the 450 watt one. The only thing was that they didn't get the big woofer in the trunk.   Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. I have a base 2008 Eclipse and I've wondered if it would be worth putting in a better system.

Replying to: classico12 (Jan 30, 2008 7:23 am) "...how good is mivec compared to v-tec..."   As I understand it both those systems are similar. They time the valves to offer good fuel economy at regular rpms and better performance when you want to rock & roll.   The 4 cyl Eclipse has 162hp in both manual and auto. I've driven the GS model and for most applications it has more than enough power. When the mivec kicks in at 4000rpm it seems like the power just keeps coming. It's no hot rod but I was very impressed.   I supose if you are a real gear-head you would want to install a tubro.

Replying to: emc17 (Feb 08, 2008 7:29 pm) "...After a tire rotation I started to hear a noise..."   Do you also feel a pulsation through the brake pedal? I understand that if the mechanic torques the lug nuts back on too tight it can warp the brake rotors and cause problems. Ask the shop if they used a torque wench or just an air gun when they put the tires back on.

Replying to: sliceopizza (Feb 11, 2008 9:13 am) "...if anyone has an opinion on the insurance rates..."   My insurance rates for the Eclipse GT were the same as for a Galant sedan. I was surprised by that, I thought they would be way higher. I would think the GS would be cheaper.   I pay $831 per year for 500K liability and all the bells and whistles.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Feb 16, 2008 2:50 pm) I finally broke down and asked for an estimate. It was cheaper than the scion tc and the acura rsx. She quoted me 470/year with a multi car discount. I also have a Murano. The scion and the acura were both in the $600 range. I was surprised by the difference. It should be easier to get answers to insurance questions but I guess there are too many factors involved. Thanks for the reply.
