Runs great after 3 years
I've had this car for over 3 years now and have yet to have anything break down or quit working on me. So far the only times I've had to take it to the shop has been for oil changes and new tires after I had a bad blowout.
2000 Eclipse GT
After a shaky first year the car has been trouble free. Two problems that I took the car in for: AC stopped cooling shortly after use (factory overfilled refrigerent) and remote lock failed (receiver). Factory issued 5 recalls in first year but I did not experience the problems. This Eclipse has the Sportronic tranny which is convenient in the metro area and fun in the country.
???
95k in 3yrs. Fun car with hot design qualities. However alot of rattleing noises.Questionable about how solid this car is built. Replaced a motor mount. All other components ok. Still have yet to prove itself in the long haul as the miles rack up.
My Precious
This is the first car I have ever loved to drive. The performance on this car is outstanding, and the gas mileage is great out on the highway. It is heavier than my friends RSX Type S, so it doesn't have the get up and go, but has smooth torque curve from the start. The shifter is placed perfectly, and the engine revs easily. Some design cues are hot, but the ugly plastic gas cover is horrible.
Always trust Mitsu.
Very skeptical when I purchased. Nice handling though, very smooth, not much power though. RS couldn't get up hill past 30 mph. Overall I'm pleased. I was already not expecting much, but it's more trustworthy then I thought it would be. Just make sure you do your homework.
