The car has be relatively problem free after I purchased it. But It did come with a couple of problems: the doors leak some kind of black rubbery fluid, which becomes worse in summer. The windows rattle in the doors. The car does not do well in wet weather or fast cornering. On one occasion, I spun twice while taking a turn fast. No ABS or traction control.
The car looks good, but is a low performance machine. Ideal for making mods, say by adding a new exhaust or air-intake system and larger tires.
So far, the only mod I've made is to install a K&N filter, which did improve gas mileage.
Well my name is chris and I own a 1999 eclipse rs I like the car and you are right about the cornering, but do you know why when I turn sharp sometimes the car shuts off? and I would like to add that the strut tower bars make a big improvement on handling even with stock tires and rims.
