  Fun factor < Maintenance headache - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By TheMongoose - February 5 - 2:26 am

  Great handling car. gets 23-26 city and 35 hwy mpg with the 4 cyl. decent acceleration for getting on the highway. The motor needed a new head gasket and milling at 81k miles. Too early in my opinion.

  Great car - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse

  Very fast and responsive and grips the road phenomenally. Because of AWD, it turns like on a rail. Excellent in snow too. I compared to a WRX with great expectations, but this car has indistinguishable performance, plus leather, s/r and good looks. Almost no repairs in 5 plus years--the best of any car Ive owned, which includes some great Euro sports sedans.

  Eclipse GSX - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Spooln - July 13 - 12:33 am

  I bought this car from a lady I worked with. I bought it from her with 150,000 miles on it. I knew she was nice to it so I got it. I had a few minor issues with the car. The struts just went, the master cylinder just went and my truck opens sometimes. I dont mind because it is an old car. It is fast with the turbo at 9 PSI. I like the design of the exterior and the nice GSX rims. It has amazing handling and makes everyone look at it because of the nice design. Good car to mod if you plan on it. Has quick acceleration. Girls love it and I would for sure buy another one if they come out with another GSX version.

  Zippy Car!! - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Synthplaya - May 13 - 10:00 am

  Wow, what a great car. . Ive always wanted an Eclipse, so I went ahead and bought a 98 GS. Its a 5 speed,and I am having ALOT of fun. Sometimes I wish it had a little more power (140 hp isnt TOO bad)..However, this is one of the easier and popular import cars to modify/upgrade. Ive seen some pretty wicked 95-99 eclipses with body kits and turbos..all aftermarket stuff. My only gripes are the few minor repairs ive had to have done to it. The Check Engine light was on due to some wires gone bad, and a little corrosion. Overall, Im pretty happy about my purchase, and i look forward to having this car for years to come!

  Fun Race Car - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Joe McGrew - August 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned this car less than a year, and after owning several imports... this is by far my fav. Ive just started on the minor race mods getting it ready for SCCA Autocross next summer... The motor is a challenge to get out through the top but everything else has been fun to work on. The interior strips out with so much ease. Exhaust is easy to replace. I hear ppl say this car isnt fast w/o turbo but if u dont mind having a sucky street car, strip the interior, drop the power steering and a/c, add an intake, drop the car bout two inches, strut bars, and total straight pipe will help greatly (sounds and looks like crap after all this but runs great).

  Good car, only for gas mileage - 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By laukc7085 - June 19 - 11:46 pm

  this car has been a pain in my rear since i got it. I am going to school to be an automotive tech and i can tell you that this car breaks a lot and is hard to work on. the engine is crammed under the hood so there is no room to work. Ive only had the car for about 2 months now and i really hate it. ive had to replace a belt, had a bearing go bad, i have an oil leak from somewhere, an anti freeze leak, my release bearing in the clutch is going bad, had an electrical short, and just other things that irritate me

  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
