2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"High performance, but needs to be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Experiencing clutch slipping at 50,000 miles.
Stereo/cd player head unit "shorted", along with my clock at 40,000 miles.
General comments?
Over all, this little car surprises me for what it is. (2.4 liter, 4 cylinder)
I've read a lot of reports of people having serious problems, luckily, I've avoided most. Just recently after hitting 50,000 miles, I'm running into what seems like clutch issues. This can be blamed on "rough driving" which is in my fault.
I would definently not purchase this car again.
