1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS review from North America
"Awesome car, I definitely recommend you buy one if your interested, you won't be disappointed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed timing belt fixed as soon as I got the car.
My serpentine belt broke at about 165K.
General comments?
This car isn't very quick at all however, it handles turns awesome.
Its not the most comfortable car, but long rides aren't too bad.
