A good sporty car

The car has generally been quite good, except I am concerned that the clutch is not wearing well. The interior is a little short for tall people (I am 6'2"). The mileage has been excellent getting 24-25 mpg around town and 30-33 mpg on the highway.

Initially, this car was kind of fun. Bought it in the summer, opened the sunroof, and off I went. Now, it is just annoying. Not much pick up from this V6. Clumsy handling. The craftsmanship on my particular car has been poor. Lots of rattles, little plasticky pieces breaking, and many general annoyances. I should have done my homework before buying. I hope you do.

Worst Car that I have Ever Owned

Since buying my 2000 Eclipse it had the transmission re-built at about 30,000 miles, this took three weeks or more. The sunroof has never worked right. When car was under warranty it was in shop about nine times the first two years just for the sunroof. At about 65,000 miles the transmission is giving me trouble again. The car was in the shop dozens of times for different reasons. After complaining to Mitsubishi about the car while under factory warranty I was then told by the dealer if I did not stop complaining about the car they would refuse to work on it. This was said in front of Mitsubishi District Manager. Guess its okay to sell a car to you, but fixing it was another story. I would never recommend any Mitsubishi to anyone.

Because of this car, I will NEVER buy another Mitsubishi. This was the worse car I've ever had - and that's compared to the one I paid $700 for when I was a teenager. Reasons I don't like this car: - Passenger seat won’t lock into place. - The buttons continually fall off the dashboard and the sunroof controls - The plastic cover over the back of the seat falls off. - The thing always sounds like it has a hole in the muffler. - It always stinks - it's got a slight antifreeze smell. - The glove box wont stay closed. - too cramped inside. - school buses have a better turning radius. I had to terminate my lease 6 monthss early - I couldn't take it anymore!

Fun car to drive, but too much road noise. The number of recalls is concerning forma reliabilty standpoint.
