1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Spyder review from North America
"I would not recommend this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I own a 1999 Spyder. The convertible top leaks during strong storms. Soon after I bought it, the driver side door handle broke off. The trunk is very hard to lift up and after replacing the antennae, it still will not go down. The paint is coming off. It started on the trunk and has moved toward the front. Now the power windows fail to go up. The steering wheel shakes when the car is at a red light.
General comments?
The overall look of this car is gorgeous. I haven't had any motor problems. It is great for two people.
