1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T review from North America
"An extremely classy-sporty car for the guys who need some speed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The E-Brake light stays on most of the time and the brakes are brand new.
The roof leaks - not terribly like everyone else's YET.
The seats don't tilt back very far at all. I have short legs so I need to be closer for the clutch, and since I can't fold the seat back a little more, I look a little paranoid with my chin almost touching the steering wheel.
General comments?
I've had this car three weeks, and so far I've had minor problems.
At 20,000 miles, this car really shouldn't have ANY problems yet...
It does handle very well. You can make a sharp turn going pretty fast without even braking and you'll stay right on point.
Sound system is great for factory, it's extremely loud.
When the turbo kicks in, you're really flying! But sometimes it feels like the turbo is a little lazy, meaning it takes just an extra second more to kick in than expected.
