2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"Don't buy an RSX until you drive an Eclipse GT."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof switch kept coming unhooked from the roof, but the dealer fixed it. It's perfect now.
Sloshing sound from the gas tank can be heard with full tank if it is quiet out and the stereo is off. Dealer said it is a recurring problem in the car that cannot b fixed, but there is nothing to worry about. It rarely bugs me.
General comments?
Quite quick. Very solid. A bit light on the steering for my taste. Excellent ride quality, which costs a little in the handling. Great styling on my all black GT. Get the Mitsubishi paint protector thing; my car looks permawaxed; it's awesome!
