1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"Great sporty car for really cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The horn suddenly stopped working.
Power antenna no longer works.
General comments?
The car is fun to drive and looks awesome.
This is my first car and is really great looking. I am surprised at all the compliments i get for a car that cost me $4400! I was wondering if anyone here who has an eclipse has put an aftermarket exhaust on. If so, what kind do you recommend, and it is something almost anyone can install, or is a mechanic required?
