2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"A reliable, high performance sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a defect in the moon roof that causes it to jerk when it opens.
My drivers seat is starting to wear down.
The dealer sold me the car with 3 bad tired.
General comments?
This car has good pick-up, and with few mods (Checkpoint cold air intake, HKS exhaust, blitz body kit, euro tails, clear corners, system, alarm...etc) has become a great street car.
The eclipse is a real head turner even before you fix it up.
For the price, it is one of the best cars on the market to buy used.
One drawback of this car is that the seats arrn't really made for long trips.
But even with a 12in. sub-woofer in the back, I still fit most of my dorm room stuff inside of it, including a TV.
This car is great for the single college aged guy.
