2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America

"Chick Magnet!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The sunroof lags occasionally when opening.

Steering wheels shake at high speeds (like most front wheel drives).

There is a little understeer due to the front wheel drive along with a large amount of body roll.

Bolts on wheels are hard to take off (need an impact drill).

There is an insufficient amount of stock power (I was beat by a stock 1994 Accord that had recently been in a wreck).

Spring on clutch pedal is noisy.

Fumes come into the car through the vents that smell like fish.

Trunk release lever does not always work.

Lines on doors are annoying and ugly.

Because of single overhead cam at high rpm's engine begins to smell.

General comments?

Car has a good balance of power and performance for the price.

There are many aftermarket parts to remedy the power problem (for $3000 a turbo kit can make it faster than a Camaro SS).

More space than most sport coupes.

User friendly controls and easy maintenance. The engine's components are easy to get to.
