1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"A great car for your money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My eclipse scrapes the ground everywhere that I pull it into. The first week that I had it, some 80 year old backed into the front and I had to get a whole front bottom piece of the car. That cost $500 and something dollars.
General comments?
Overall, the car is a beauty and I love it very much! I don't like the 4th generation models though. I'll stick to my 3rd generation! My car always turns heads everywhere I go. Maybe it's the color? Barcelona red pearl. I would recommend this car to my friends!
