1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder review from North America
"Good bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed requiring me to have the car towed, since the top was down I had no way to put it up.
General comments?
The car handles well and is a real head turner.
I do have a small leak around the passenger side window, but no major leaks.
The car is smooth on the highway and I am planning an extended trip very soon.
