2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"The car is pretty sweet, overall"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
M.A.F. sensor failed at about 50,000 miles.
Radiator blew at about 110,000 miles.
General comments?
The 17 inch wheels are easy to damage and expensive to replace.
Make sure that new brake rotors match the originals exactly. They seem to have variences in thinckness.
Keep an eye on the hood latch assebly and cable because mine locked up and then the cable broke off.
