Faults:

Thought I bought a great car, it was a true gem when purchased and I treat my cars like gold.

57000 miles - passenger wheel bearing

57000 miles - drivers axle

57000 miles - clutch pedal

59000 miles - clutch slave cylinder

60000 miles - AWD transmission clicking (needs rebuild - but still drives OK)

60000 miles - new rear rotors and pads (brakes squeak loud, constantly)

60000 miles - sunroof rattles and would need new tracks to fix, but still works OK.

General Comments:

Little odds and ends over my 97' Honda Civic EX coupe...

Eclipse windows rattle

Eclipse sunroof rattles

Long trips not easy on the body

Seats wear easily

Rattles all over the car in general

EATS OIL

EATS GAS.

The only good thing about this car is the ability to attract attention and go fast (even in the rain the traction is great)

Would I buy again?

I would only if I could have been the first owner back in 1998 when the car came off the lot...

Faults:

Absolutely nothing, the car is amazingly reliable.

General Comments:

I love every thing about this car, it handles great, it has power, it looks really sporty and its pretty inexpensive, too. I love this car. This is my second eclipse and this will most likely be the only kind of car I will ever own.

Faults:

My side mirror fell off 3 times.

My convertible top leaks, seems to be common problem.

My factory radio died at 30,000miles.

My tweeters never worked.

My power antenna stopped working at 31000 miles.

My convertible top frame broke at 38000miles.

My clutch feels sticky when cold and recently it begun to get completely stuck in certain gears.

My power window/lock control panel fell into the door.

There's a bubble in my dash board.

General Comments:

The car looks great, feels great. I've never had any trouble with the power train.

But all other little things keeps breaking. It's a pain to get a dealer to fix things under warranty.

Many things broke right after bumper to bumper warranty ran out, almost like clock work.

Don't buy this car, if you want it lease the thing for less than 3 years (length of bumper to bumper warranty.)

Faults:

Roof leaks excessively when raining even though I have filled a lot of it with weatherstripping.

Rotors have warped twice now.

Door handle broke.

General Comments:

The car is beautiful to look at, but constructed very cheaply.

The 2.4 engine is highly underpowered.

Do not race anyone with this vehicle, you will lose!

If you're into performance definitely go with the turbo model.
