"One of the worst cars in production"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

What can I say... theres quite a list here.. lets start with the transmission... the overdrive gear went at about 65000 miles and the car now tops out at around 70 mph... next is the convertible top... it leaks...a lot and also the bars went on in... about 500 to have that replaced.. the motors for the top are both blown... the radio has died too many time to count... the leather seats are rough..

General comments?

This car is bad news... go with a Mazda or Toyota if your looking for reliability... the car looks cool, but it stops right there..

I've heard of eclipses' on the good and bad end. I think that if you maintain it properly, the car is awesome. the auto tranny is a little weak, which ends up tairing it up. and yea, the roof leaks. so do most convertibles. the car is almost at 10 years now.. still an awesome car at that age. always turning heads!!!
