2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"Great car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seal around the windshield is coming off.
Only got to use the cruise control once, it stopped working.
The air conditioning is weak, doesn't get very cold.
I have had 2 recalls on the car as well. Hope to have all these items fixed soon.
General comments?
I enjoy driving the car. It is quick and handles really well.
The seats are really comfortable and all the controls are well placed. I drove from California to Minnesota and had no problems at all, except the cruise control that failed on my way to Minnesota.
The tires are really expensive, $300.00 a piece. Found that out when I had to replace one, and they weren't under warranty.
Overall, I would purchase this car again. Except I would splurge and get the Spyder.
