1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America

"This car is too expensive to maintain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought my car used, and as soon as my warranty was up...

I had to replace my front brakes.

I noticed my muffler had a hole in it... after it fell off.

I've had a lot of trouble with my quick-shift (after-factory) that was on the car when I bought it.

I not only need to recharge my air-conditioner, but also get a new condenser.

My middle euro-tail light fills with water despite several attempts to fix it.

I need to replace both the rotors in my front tires and under my pedal.

I do have to say that my car does get great gas mileage.

General comments?

Overall, I would really like my car if it didn't cost so much money to maintain. Being a '99 it should not have this many problems (some of which are obviously due to the past owner). I did buy my car used from a Mitsubishi dealer, but the car was not safe. It has a lot of problems (that miraculously appeared soon after my warranty was up) that should have been fixed before it was ever sold. The only way that I would ever buy another Mitsubishi car, is if it was new with an extended warranty.

I like Mitsubishi and my Eclipse, but I think I've had my fill and probably won't buy another one.
