1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX review from North America

"This car is the best looking bang for the buck!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car is great for the most part. One problem I had was the clutch went at 82,000 miles. But I got a new one for about $550.00 installed. That's not really a problem, It's just wear and tear. I had my timing belt changed at 60,000 because you are supposed to. The brake pads seem to wear down fast, but I drive like an animal. The only other problem I had was the two front wheel hub assemblies eventually had to be changed. I've seen a lot of these cars go well past the 200,000 mile mark. But an engine rebuild kit is only $500! This car is cheap to fix.

General comments?

This car is absolutely wonderful. I beat on this car every day, all day. And the car just takes the abuse. I've done a lot of performance upgrades, and you can make this car go very fast for a very minimal cost. The All-Wheel Drive is amazing. Especially in the snow. It handles like a Porsche! It take corners wonderfully. The stock turbo spools up really fast, there is absolutely no boost creep. It's a really fun car to drive and own. Plus it's gorgeous. Not one thing I would change.

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