Can't Wait to Get Rid of This Car!

I bought this car as my third convertible. I had two Sebring Convertibles prior to this one. I have to say that they never gave me the type of trouble this car has given me. The car has cost me so much money in repairs it's ridiculous. So far I have had a rear differential pressure sensor short which cost about $500 to replace, a center speaker blow, a total new set of rims because they bend so easily (they are cheap and the new ones have already begun to bend at the edges), an instrument panel and center stack light burn out, and a fog lamp replaced. To add injury to insult, the rear differential pressure sensor blew because of a Mitsubiahi dealer mechanic leaving off the radiator hose!

Lovin' the Spyder GT

For the money, I can't imagine having more fun with a car. I love convertible living, though you have to be willing to ride with the top town quite often, becuase sight lines with the top up are HORRIBLE. The Spyder got a bit of kick and definitely gets it's share of compliments. Gas mileage with the top down is not that great, but well worth it. It probably doesn't help matters that I use the AC with the top down because of the balck interior and SoCal sun. I am definitely hooked and would suggest this car to anyone who would ask.

This is the second spyder I have had and over all they have been very good cars..the problems were taken by the dealer and I will probabley buy another one..I got this one new and have 38000 miles on it. only problem was the top stained and threads around the window rotted, but even at 38000 miles they replaced the top..I love the style and I have found they hold value very well.. haven,t addressed the gas cap peeling yet and it is bubbling up now...

I had it for about a year and 1/2. Very poorly made car. Should be much faster for a V6, depreciates like no other. make sure you get in on the class action suit against mitsu over the garbage rims they slap on the car...
