Which is the better car 07 Scion Tc or Mitsubishi Eclipse? I plan to have the car for at least 8 years.?

This is a decision that should be made by you, not strangers. Try going someplace like www.consumerreports.com. There you can compare the two different vehicles and get their reliabilty history, safety history, etc. Also try looking at sites like www.edmunds.com or at www.kbb.com. Both of these sites will also give you loads of info when comparing the two cars. Take your time and do the research, if you plan on owning for 8 years or more, you definetly want to make the best educated decision you can. Good luck!
