2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder review from North America
"Sexy, stylish, fun, easy to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has common problems with the headlight wiring harnesses melting, rattles among the convertible top, leakage from weather-stripping, and when coolant hoses get too old watch out for the return hose not getting hot... It means there is no coolant getting to the T-stat. This can result in a seized engine!
General comments?
I like the overall feeling of the car. The problem is the feeling can get you in trouble, I was on the highway and screamed up to 120mph and didn't know I was going so fast until I was pulled over by a state trooper. Oops!
I would also like the car more if it had a little more power off the line. (going from a dead stop to pedal to the floor)
