2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"Put your body in motion!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with the 2000 Eclipse has been tracked to a manufacture related problem. The engine would not start in cold weather. However, the problem has since been fixed and it is running great.
General comments?
This a great performance car with a very reasonable price. The handling has improved over the 2nd generation models with only a slight loss in fuel economy.
I previously owned a 1996 Eclipse and was saved from almost certain death by the cars ability to take the impact thus selling me forever on Eclipses.
The 2000 model is a little wider than the 2nd generation but it does help with the handling ability.
The interior is roomier and more comfortable.
While the Eclipse may not be a family oriented vehicle it gains popularity in many other ways such as being very reliable, economical, and safe.
The ride feels much better than most mid-sized and larger cars.
Eclipse ranks as high as you can get with this owner!
