1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"Great car for a low budget!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission and clutch are too crappy, and the side windows and sunroof will die if they go up/down a lot, and in the wind.
I recently lost all the lights inside the car and the speedometer.
The transmission died at about 145k miles, and the clutch at about 136k miles, which is not bad for stock! Average stock is about 100k on the clutch.
General comments?
It's not a bad car for $4500k; the BLUE BOOK price was like $9595.
A great car to drive and enjoy the gas mileage, not to mention you can get all the HOT chicks with this ride.
