2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"Best car to buy for its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the 2 years I've owned my car I have taken my car back 3 times for recalls.
1st was tightening the hose for the radiator.
2nd was changing the battery wire to a bigger gauge.
3rd was replacing transmission fluid for better shifting.
Besides these small recalls, my car runs great!
General comments?
I bought my 2000 Eclipse GT 2 weeks after it came out. I love driving my car. And for you other Eclipse owners who have taken their cars for a drive on winding roads and roads with steep incline, you know what I mean.
I have a question though, has a turbocharger come out yet for this car? =)
