1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX review from North America
"Fast, fun, and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had a problem with the windshield glass warping a bit. We took it in and the dealer replaced it with no problems.
I went to open the door and pulled the door handle off. Apparently some of these cars just have weak handles. They replaced the handle and it's been fine.
General comments?
The only problems have been minor and the car runs great.
The only thing I'd change is to reduce the road noise a bit.
I'd buy another one, but they changed them and got rid of the AWD and Turbo for 2000. It's a pity, but I'll have to find a different car when I'm done with this one.
