So far, I've had only minor problems with the car because the previous owner never drove it.
Drive-shaft makes noise, I'm told this is because of the rubber gasket around the rear carrier bearing.
Smoked on first startup. Some driving and new PCV valve changed this.
Vacuum leak from somewhere, hasn't been found yet. Not that serious though.
Overall, nothing that I wouldn't expect from a car that's 14yrs old.
Clutch might be on its way out, we'll wait and see.
Quick, but not fast.
Incredible handling for it's age.
Gas mileage and comfort are acceptable for a turbocharged vehicle.
Incredibly easy to modify.
You will work on it. On the plus side, parts are cheap.
Overall, it's what I expected in a Turbocharged, Foreign-Built, All-Wheel Drive, 2700$ car.
The Mitsubishi eclipse is actually not a foreign car, but an american one. The factory is in normal, illinois and it produced all of the eclipses, Eagle talons, and Plymouth lasers since 1990.
