3G Eclipse questions, any opinion? Options

[90GSX]

Well next year im gonna try to get me a brand new eclipse. Im deciding between that or a stealth/3000gt and i may just get it for the warranty. Anyone out there have a 3G eclipse that would give me any feedback on what they are like? Are the GTS models very quick factory? Mods= void warranty, so it will be lightly modded if at all. Handling any good, i love the handling of my 1G DSM's, never tried a AWD though. Newer cars i have drove feel bulky in cornering and dont offer the secure feeling that my 1G dsms seem to give me, so im not sure if the 3G is one of them. I will of course test drive it first, but trying to decide if I want an eclipse or get an older stealth. One more thing, the sporttronic vs manual tranny, i would think the manual would be better, not sure how good the sport tronic trannys are. Thanks!

I enlisted in the army, so i wont actually be able to get one till prob this time next year (when i will finally be stationed). I was going over my pay and swinging the cost of a brand new car shouldnt be a problem. Plus im supposed to get cheap insurance for being in the army. So the car actually wont be a daily driver, mostly a weekend driver since i wont really need a car during the week. Im not looking for something to race, im looking basically for something that would be reliable, quick if i wanted to play around with it, and a definate chick magnet I got a year to think about it, figured i may as well start thinking now. Well anyways thank you all so much for you imput, i really do appreciate it.
