2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America

Noise in the front right corner, appears to be a missing bushing, going to get replaced under warranty, hopefully.

Speakers have a crackle now after a mild front end collision.

Overall the car has been great. I think both of the problems with the car could stem from the accident.

After having the car over a year now, I sure wish I had gotten ABS. The strong brakes are easy to lock up under hard braking. I have the GT with sun and sound, basically everything but ABS and leather interior. I feel that ABS, at least 2 wheel, should be included with the sun and sound, or be standard.

The performance is really impressive, but I would personally love to see Mitsubishi come out with a turbo charged model for the V6. AWD would be nice also, actually just making it rear wheel drive would be even better, then only a turbo would be needed. The engine is so strong and seems pretty bulletproof, it leaves me wanting about 50-60 more horsepower to really be a missile. Performance is much better than GSX-T, pulls away from them smoothly.

One last complaint, if they are going to give us 17 inch wheels, make them wider rims and fit them with at least 225/55 or 60 ZR tires! 215s on a 17 inch wheel is silly. I break loose in first and 2nd gear, and chirp into 3rd on dry roads. Need more rubber on pavement please.
