  • 2002 Eclispe GT - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I have had my Eclishpe since November of 2001. I have driven it about 10000 miles. I have had no problems with it and I enjoy drivingi it. The one thing that I have had to watch is my speed. The first week I had it I was going to a meeting I wondered why everyone was going so slow. Looked down and I was doing 90 in a sixty mile speed area.

    It took me about 3 months to settle on my car, short by my standards. Ive never owned a Mitsubishi, so I was a bit leery of trying them out. So far, Im very pleased. I change oil, but thats about it. The car hums and absolutely loves to run. It has great mid-range power and acceptable low-end torque thanks to the V6. This is a great compromise between a sports-car and a daily driver.

  • AIRBAGS???? - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    When I hit a guard rail at 65 MPH head on, no airbags came out. I searched and found out that other people had had the same problem, because even tho the car has airbagsm there were no sensors. Wont buy a mitsubishi again.

    Owning the car for one year, I have had several problems. The sun roof wouldnt close properly, and had to be fixed several times. Then the transmission messed up and the car spent a month in the shop so they could replace the whole transmission and the main computer for the car. Also, The sunvisor clip broke, the seatbelt cover at the top broke, and the tires constantly get low on air. Im so ready to get rid of it! Its beautiful and fun, but not worth the hassle of being poorly built.

    We have had this car almost 2 years now with no problems. Bought it brand new late 2001. All we’ve had to do is change the oil and put gas in it. Just hit 20,000 mi. This is a very good-looking reliable car. You should get a ‘manual’ GT with the Premium package. The leather adds a hint of sophistication to the interior and the V6/manual transmission gives you more than enough power to play. Highly recommended.
