i want a used car .
have about $10000 -$15000 to spend.
also its got to last me a few years.so i dont want to get bored with it.
also need rear seats for the kids .so the supra is out.it only has 2 seats right?
dont mind 2+2.
i saw fast and furious 2 last night .i really like the eclipse.not with all the graphics and stuff.but i think a standard one with a set of big rims will look proper.

Focus RS .. haha, wouldn't we all. Not available in the States.
The Toyota Solara is basically a coupe Camry (your basic, commuter, family sedan, only in two-door form). Reliable, slightly luxurious but none too sporty; often owned by mid-40s businessmen.
Funny how you say for the Mini you don't want it because it's available in England. That is one of the reasons for its appeal around here, the fact it's a European car. One of my British professors drives one

I think you need to drive the eclipse. Then you probably won't want it anymore. I've driven my friend's eclipse (4cyl, but new body style) and it is not what I would call a good car. Interior seems sorta cheap to me, the stock amp was messing up at one point during a drive. And it wasn't a fun car to drive.

What did you just say? 
Anyway, check out the Toyota Solara here. Nifty car, nice and roomy. The looks aren't for everyone, but I don't mind them. Kinda looks more like a Lexus than a Toyota to me, but I guess that's part of it's appeal. If it came with an MTX option, I'd ride one with the TRD package for sure.
Oh and I agree with Kremit. The Eclipse is not impressive at all. Slower than last gen and not very roomy, unless your rear seat riders happen to be packages or legless people.

I'm a little biased but I think you should take a closer look at the Volvo C70 when you get on this side of the pond. It has a better back seat than either the mustang or the eclipse, is faster than a v-6 mustang or eclipse (3rd gen anyway) and will give a v-8 stang a run for its money.

Mazda3?
How about a used Mazda6? Not really gutsy cars, but, decently-built, comfortable, and a nice ride.
