1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"Cars great!, I can beat V6 mustangs stock!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering belt snapped at 72,500 miles.
Transmission blew at 72,000 miles.
Brakes squeak, due to water/dirt.
General comments?
Car is excellent, though I'd rather have the turbo, this car has a lot of modifications you can due at a reasonably cheap price, such as
-Header-$160
-Lowering Springs-$140
-Cool air intake-$130
-Performance muffler-$150.
