1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST review from North America
"Great car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken seat support (I am over 300 lbs and also broke the seat in my last car).
Two bent rims (nasty pot holes in Michigan).
Stereo has never worked correctly, with exception of the CD player. Radio receiver goes in and out, not sure why (luckily all I listen to is the CDs, can't stand radio DJ's so I never really had an inkling to get it fixed).
Screws holding the controls for the windows and door locks in place have broken.
Many other issues with bolts and screws vibrating loose or breaking, probably because of all the plastic used.
Have had to replace the battery 3 times since I owned the car.
No major issues with this vehicle, just minor issues mostly caused by the way I drive the car.
General comments?
Overall performance of the car is great. Gets me from point A to B without many hassles.
The ride is a little rough, shocks and struts don't take the force out of all the bumps on the road.
Plenty of head and leg room for the bigger man, I can't fit in the FORD MUSTANG which was one of the reasons I got this vehicle.
