1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse review from North America
"It's a great runner for the price, and it'll blow your socks off."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is an oil leak and I'm not sure where it's coming from.
I had to replace the alternator almost immediately after buying it because oil was spraying up on it from wherever the oil leak is coming from.
General comments?
This car handles like you wouldn't believe. When I bought it, I expected it to be an average buy, but it has really impressed me all around.
The only thing that bugs me is the fact that the e-brake doesn't work, so I don't get to have as much fun as I had hoped, but for $500 I couldn't go wrong.
