Mitsubishi are pretty good cars compare to mazda but as u heard yea the repair cost is kind a expensive. Talking about mazda its a Toyota engine so basically you will be driving Toyota engine sitting on a mazda body. If you gonna be driving a lots of miles go for mazda because mazda protego gives a very good gas mileage and wont break down a lot( looking at statistic) . but if ur looking for something sporty offcourse Eclipse looks more sporty than protego.
