Water pipe split causing car to over heat and blow head gasket.
New breaks all around.
Lights needed attention.
Fuel tank rusted and leaking.
Finally engine threw a piston killing it off for good.
A nice little sporty looking car, but has not guts what so ever and you will be over taken by old ladies on their electric shopping carts are the lights and for all that poor performance still expensive to insure.
Fuel usage is good with about 500 motorway miles from a full tank.
As with all fords this age was rather rusty, uncomfortable and noisy to the point that I was not sad to see it go.
Hi, I used to own an Eclipse and I totally agree with your review. I sold it recently (and replaced it with a TDi Golf) to a member of the family and he's trying to find the correct rear brake shoes for it. Could you let me know the model no and where you got them please? The email is jake_jameson@hotmail.com. Many thanks. Jake :-)
