2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Reviews - Page 14 of 14

Air leaks in the windowa.

Good car. Loved the 93 Eagle Talon I had previously.

Decided to buy 2000 Eclipse.

It's a little loose on the handling, but very cheap to operate daily.

I haven't had any problems yet. After adding a cold air intake, the idle sometimes seems to be erratic at times.

I could have possibly squished the throttle cable, but I'm gonna have it looked at soon.

I'm currently living in Kaiserslautern, Germany at Ramstein AFB and have had a blast with this car on the autobahn.

At 150mph I still have 750rpm to go. Who would of thought?

I have added a Injen cold air intake and Greddy exhaust.

Sometimes road noise can get loud, but the factory stereo is just loud enough to overpower.

Nothing yet.

Great car. No problems yet. 4 CD changer and audio system kick ass. 200 HP is all I need.

Climate control unit damaged - replaced twice by dealer.

Passenger window not properly installed at the factory - dealer adjusted twice.

Front and rear covers are poorly color-matched to the body.

Side windows remain wet for 3 days after washing/rain.

Handling suffers from terrible oversteer.

Suspension is tuned too soft on all models. Too much body-roll. Centre of gravity is too high.

Seating position should be lower and the seat cushion more inclined.

Instrument cluster is cheap and difficult to read.

Interior styling is modern and convenient.

A lot of amenities come standard on the GS model.

One-touch power sunroof is very nice.

The car has window noises, just before the window seals it makes a noise. This occurs only at freezing point air temperature.

The car has good performance, sleek looks, general comfort and decent mpg.

After owning the car for less than 48 hours and driving it 147 miles, SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I immediately took the car in for repairs, but after five days I still have not got it back! It appears that the engine had defective front and rear main seals that allowed gear oil to enter the main engine housing. The engine has been taken apart and rebuilt before its first fill up.

When I requested a new fully operational car, I was informed that it is not Mitsubishi's policy to give customers what they purchase (i.e. a WORKING CAR!)

I have owned three cars in my life:

1. 1984 Mazda 626 (bought used in 1993)

2. 1986 VW Rabbit (bought used in 1996)

3. 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 (bought in 1998)

I drove each car for more than 30,000 miles, without one instance of a smoking engine or TWO REPAIRS! Mitsubishi make defective cars!!

Small tapping sound from the headliner, from a loose clip from wires for the power sunroof. Easily taken care of right away at the dealer.

A real blast to drive. A real head turner. Awesome exhaust note when getting on it. Fairly impressive off the line. Handling at high speed(100) plus is very impressive. I've done 125+ and it was as stable as going 65. You really have to watch the speedo, you do not realize how fast you are going as it is that stable at high speeds. A 7 speaker Infinity stereo only adds to the appeal of this car.

Have only had the car 3 weeks. But, it's been a real kick. The sporttronic is a lot of fun. It rides beautifully. Having had a powerful turbo, I prefer the normally aspirated engine. It's more responsive although a little slower to 60 and the 1/4 mile.

Nothing has gone wrong!!!!!

I get stares wherever I go.
