1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX review from North America

Dreaded crank walk at 60,000 miles (Recognized manufacturing flaw). *Engine rebuild required.

Windows leaked allowing water to seep into the inner driver's door. Rust has shorted out the power door lock actuator rendering the keyless entry system in-operatable.

Paint on both driver and passenger mirrors has faded.

E-brake cables rusted and fused; brake locked (late for work!).

Sunroof drive cable snapped. Inner sunroof shade fell off track.

Infinity CD Changer mysteriously malfunctioned. No longer recognizes disc's.

The car I love to hate. This automobile has provided a spectrum of emotions. The GSX is untouchable after installing about $3,000 of after market parts. But beware; Unless you are willing to invest thousands of dollars in general maintenance and repairs it will spend more time with your mechanic than parked in your driveway. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my V-8 slayer for the world. I always get that warm feeling after embarrassing a guy who spent 3 times the money on an inferior product. After all my heartache of dealing with repairs I must admit my eclipse is running stronger than ever, but requires more attention than an 18 year old girlfriend.
