2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"Great overall car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clear gloss on the front left headlight is pealing off.
The steering wheel has small flaws I suppose due to usage.
The cup holder, well, I am not too sure why the rubber part just came out when I first purchased the car.
The paint seems to have worn and chipped a little bit.
The SRS airbag light was a problem for a little while, but it went away.
The back surface of the seats scratch very badly.
The trunk lock only wants to unlock the very first time every other time I try to open it.
The interior lights really do not provide a lot of light in the dark.
General comments?
I really love this car for many reasons.
I love the over drive of the car.
I love the overall appearance of the car.
The doors and trunk are so heavy. The doors will swing open if you do not watch them.
The sound system is good quality.
I love the four disk CD changer.
You should use a sun block on the black leather seats often so as not to fade them.
