2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT review from North America
"The car is a head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle speed motor died at 65,000 miles.
Power Antenna no longer works.
Lost 2 rims to a storm sewer grate.
General comments?
I bought the car new.
The performance has been acceptable, but I would like to tune the car a little and upgrades are far and few between.
Handling has been good, but improved with Sumi tires and lighter aftermarket rims.
The car get a ton of attention and comments. If you want a car that gets a lot of envy the Spyder GT gets it.
The Leather interior is comfortable and supportive. More rear seat room than a Mustang Convertible, Important when you have more than one friend along.
