My Greatfirst car
Tis is my first car and i love it. I wish it was a bit fast ,but of course that keeps me out of trouble!
Great Car
Got this Eclipse for 16th birthday...was look in at Integra but this car gets way more looks...this car is also more fun to drive handles well..for a heavy car...could use more acceleration power..so ive added a catback exhaust, and Aem cold air intake...and the Infinity System kicks
Good car overall
I've had my maroon Eclipse GS for almost a year. I've had only minor problems with it. The check engine light came on which had to do with recalled spark plugs, etc. My door handle also broke off, which was kinda pricey, but oh well. I'm 21 so this is the perfect college car for me. It's great for the city, and has some pep on the highway. I only wish it had a little more hp and a larger engine, preferably a V6.
Unreliable
This car has been the biggest waste of money ever! I haven't even had it for 2 years and have spent $4000 on repairs for it! I swear I have to take it in to the shop once a month because something is shuddering or making a funny noise. It's ridiculous. I will never own another Mitsubishi ever.
Great car for teens
This was the car I was given on my 16th birthday, and I had only been driving three and a half months, when one day while driving home I stopped for a yellow light and thought the semi-truck behind me had enough room, it didn't I was rear-ended while the truck was going about 45 mph. Both my sister and I were fine with only minor aches and pains and if someone had been in the back seat of my car they would have been doing better. I would completely buy this car again.
