2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America

The car has been in the shop for an antifreeze leak, a front turn signal light out, and a malfunctioning sunroof. I bought an aftermarket cold air intake that is mounted in a poor spot which caused my minor antifreeze leak. The turn signal turned out to just be a light bulb needing replacement. I took the car in for the sunroof which works pretty well, on occasion it gets finicky, but I find it fairly reliable.

I bought my car knowing it had previously been wrecked, and folks, it's still a great car. No electrical problems like my old Nissan, it has been the most reliable car in the family. Being a beautiful red color, it's flashy, speedy (got a ticket in my first month), and I take a lot of pride in this car. The interior is positioned to be more of a cockpit than cabin, in my opinion, and the A/C runs like a beast in Houston. My black cloth interior still looks great, as does my paint which is waxed regularly. It handles well, and brakes very well (saved me from t-boning an SUV). Granted no AWD stinks (who needs the additional weight on it, though? It's already heavy), but it's still really fast with good handling.

In summary, I find this car to be a quality product, and have thoroughly enjoyed every mile. I look forward to having my Mitsu-beasty all the way through my college years.
