1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"Simply a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I have had my car for 5 days now. Rides smooth, but the brakes are a little jolty, maybe due to a worn rudder.
General comments?
I love this car!
This car looks great. People are always watching me drive by. It's definitely a head turner.
I have only had the car for 5 days and I have been challenged on the road at least 15 times already by other cars. Something about the Eclipse makes people want to race me everywhere I go.
Today I beat a 1995 Cougar 5.0.
It seems to be pretty quick.
Great car.
