2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder review from North America
"Great car for the $$$$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's door does not shut flush with the body. Have not taken it in for repair yet.
The cloth on the interior of the top rides up exposing the mechanics of the top above the passenger door. Haven't had in yet to repair.
General comments?
I test-drove the GS and the GT. I bought the GT. Overall I love the car!
I was disappointed that Mitsubishi did not make safety features such as anti-lock braking and traction at the very least a stand-alone option. They were only offered in a package deal that included leather seats, premium sound and some other add-ons.
For the price you aren't going to get a better looking convertible.
