1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Spyder review from North America
"All looks with minimal power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Roof leaks excessively when raining even though I have filled a lot of it with weatherstripping.
Rotors have warped twice now.
Door handle broke.
General comments?
The car is beautiful to look at, but constructed very cheaply.
The 2.4 engine is highly underpowered.
Do not race anyone with this vehicle, you will lose!
If you're into performance definitely go with the turbo model.
