1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS review from North America
"Love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission rebuilt for the only time @ 215,000 miles.
Regular maintenance things (oil, air filter, etc.)
Oh yeah, my top leaks some, shouldn't have a recall or at least made it perform better.
General comments?
Regular maintenance things (oil, air filter, etc.) needed for the last 10 years of owning my Eclipse Spyder.
Added Koni Shocks and Eibach Springs to improve handling and adds a nice looking stance.
Have 17" Niche Bella Chrome rims w/Nitto tires.
