1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS review from North America
"An incredible looking, quick, and comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gasket leak at 50,000 miles.
Windows rattle unless window is all the way up or all the way down.
General comments?
Extremely quick for being a non-turbo RS model.
Very comfortable.
Runs great, has only been in the shop once.
16 gallon gas tank, gets about 23 miles to the gallon in city miles.
Great looking car, fun and easy to fix up.
