2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America

"A good looking problem"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Head light on passenger side went dim and I found it had a melted harness replaced cost 20.00 for the part.

Three out of the four rims bent caused car to shake started to fall apart so I bought aftermarket wheels.

Brake rotors are pitted and rusting bad looks like they could bust under hard breaking I am getting new ones ASAP.

Sunroof sticks sometimes needs help.

Plastic fasteners are falling off everywhere causing bumpers and plastic trim to rattle replaced with metal bolts and nuts with hard rubber washers.

Noises coming from rear end of car yet to find problem either shock or bushing. very annoying every bump is a rattle or thump.

Leather seats are fading and stating to crack I have conditioned them twice in 3 months.

Noise belts squeak when its hot I will be replacing soon.

Glove box lock falls out whenever you unlock it.

Alarm goes a little haywire sometimes also when I lock with key with out the alarm remote it will go off when opening on occasion.

The car has noises everywhere there are noises in the front in the back in the dash and in the trunk.

General comments?

Besides the problem this car is hard and expensive to work on the timing belt is going to cost you 800.00 dollars a routine tune up requires you to take off the upper intake on the car dealer wants over 500 for this operation. Drive belts are also a big task can't even be seen from under the hood have to take out inner fender to get to them. Also it only take premium fuel witch is a dent in your wallet.

We love the car. It is not as fast as our previous car, but handles well and look nice. Once you work out the bugs in the car witch could be a while it is great it car looks great inside and out. but it seams as if it was slapped together. Too many noises everywhere it is not a quit car, but if you got the infinity sound system it can be easily droned out. very comfortable and if I could give it back I wouldn't.
