1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2 Dr GS Hatchback
Review
I love driving it! The oz rims are really cool and the arched rear fin looks really good. only take it to a mitzubishi dealer for any work other than basic mainenance. recall on the lower front ball joints mitzubishi dealer took care of the replacement free. I had the timing belt/egr valve replaced at 80k as well as replacing the plug wires cost about $1500. squealing noises from engine pulleys in rain, dealer said it was nothing to worry about. suspension squeaked after driving on salted roads.
Favorite Features
the body style is great. It's a bit of an effort to get into the car, but once you are in, the interior is very comfortable.
Suggested Improvements
more power in the engine. get the 2.5 turbo if you can. The front end is a bit flimsy. could use a more sturdy construction base plastic is yellow so any scrapes stick out like a sore thumb buy good tires. I bought general tires for it and they are worthless!

Review
I have had my Eclipse for four years now and I am so happy to be finally getting rid of it. Don't get me wrong, it is really fun to drive-when it isn't in the repair shop. On top of numerous little repairs, I have had to replace both sets of belts twice and am about to replace one of them again. I have also had both door handles fall off in the past year and a half. I only recomend this car to someone that is prepared to put at least $1000 per year into the repairs after the warrenty is up.

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2 Dr RS Hatchback
Review
Just got back from the dealership (TEMPE Mitsubishi) with my daughters 99 RS. $1800 in routine maintenance. The car has 42000 miles on it. Fortunatly the head gasket was covered by warrenty or it would have been more. Basically the dealer said the waterpump, timing belt, pulleys, hoses, belts , and motor mounts were shot. In a moment of weakness I authorized work without getting a second opinion.I was on the edge of the warrenty. Dealer says these repairs are standard at 60000 mi.

It took a long time for me to finally find this car, but it was well worth it. This car is beautiful and a ton of fun to drive. I have only had this car for a about 3 months but I have experienced no problems or flaws in its performance. I highly recommend this car.
Favorite Features
Awesome looking model. Stick shift is a lot of fun. Handles very well.
Suggested Improvements
The sun roof breaks quickly.
Great performance from an economy car.

Review
I have had this car for four years now and have had no major problems. Actually, I've never had any minor problems either. I even changed the timing belt myself (this took a lot longer than I originally thought it would, the engine space is tiny and difficult to work in). I have treated this car pretty poorly (infrequent oil changes and generally late servicing) and it has responded with continued great performance.
Favorite Features
Body styling.

Review
I bought this car 2 years ago and have put almost 30,000 pain free miles on. It's known for a few odd problems, a few of which I think were fixed before I bought it(head gasket), and a few I fixed(valve cover gasket, heater hoses and clamps). Other than that and routine up keep it's been a great little car.

1999 was the last year of the turbo eclipse. It is one of the greatest cars ever produced. The engine provides the platform for unlimited horsepower. Overall an excellent vehicle.

I always wanted to get into the driver side of the mitsubishi Eclipse and when I did I got a rush because i topped the car out and it was the best feeling in the world to have.
