1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS review from North America
"I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering belt snapped about two months after I got the car.
The brakes are squeaky lately.
Something broke under the undercarriage, I'm not sure what it was. It was scraping against the ground for about forty miles until I was able to do anything about it. I was told it was the muffler cover.
General comments?
Although this is my second car I have owned, it is not the second I have driven. It is the best car I have ever driven.
It seems to handle very well.
Its pretty fast and I was able to beat a dodge neon, but I lost to a Ford F-350.
Girls love looking at my car, and guys love looking under the hood explaining what to do with it.
