1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sport review from North America
"Great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch went out and had to get that replaced.
The alternator kept going bad causing the battery to die.
It started leaking oil really badly leaving my garage a mess.
Mind you all of this started happening after I'd put 100k on the car.
General comments?
This was my first car out of college and I loved it.
In it's old age and high miles it began to spend more and more time in the shop, but I feel I got my use out it.
I would recommend an Eclipse to someone that doesn't require a lot of space for friends to ride. I got away with a lot because people didn't want to cram in my car.
This car is decent on gas mileage,. The dashboard is a little hard to see over, but obviously I adjusted.
