Faults:

The suspension was off from factory, could not be adjusted, car always vibrated at highway speeds.

Moon roof broke 8 times in 8000 miles.

Leather seats were cracked by 7000 miles.

Switches for windows, door locks broke.

Window regulators were replaced.

And so on and so on and so on...

Poor poor dealer service.

General Comments:

The car was bought back under the terms of the Lemon law, this was the second lemon lawed Mitsubishi I had out of the 4 Mitsubishi's I have owned. It was agreed that I would never purchase another Mitsubishi again.

Mitsubishi has previously built great looking cars, but even the best looking lemons can be sour.

Avoid the car manufacturer at all costs unless you want problems, warranty nightmares, poor quality, horrible dealer service and bad resale values.

Faults:

Alarm malfunctioned during first 6 months and required repair.

Headlight harness melted over prongs which required mechanical service.

Intermittent wipers failed at 30,000 miles.

Seats are starting to wear out at 54,000 miles.

General Comments:

Even with proper maintenance the performance capabilities of this car have diminished over only the first 30,000 miles. I have confirmed this at the track with an entire loss of over 1 second in the quarter mile.

With time the suspension, which never actually felt sporty, began to feel overly soft. I have owned sports cars before, but never has a suspension wore out so quickly before. More proof that the parts are cheap.

Faults:

There is a defect in the moon roof that causes it to jerk when it opens.

My drivers seat is starting to wear down.

The dealer sold me the car with 3 bad tired.

General Comments:

This car has good pick-up, and with few mods (Checkpoint cold air intake, HKS exhaust, blitz body kit, euro tails, clear corners, system, alarm...etc) has become a great street car.

The eclipse is a real head turner even before you fix it up.

For the price, it is one of the best cars on the market to buy used.

One drawback of this car is that the seats arrn't really made for long trips.

But even with a 12in. sub-woofer in the back, I still fit most of my dorm room stuff inside of it, including a TV.

This car is great for the single college aged guy.

Faults:

Very good car. The only problems to date have been loose wiring in the passenger side headlight, a small leak around the door tweeters if I go through a high pressure car wash, and the hatch shelf on the inside has broken off. Other than that I love the car.

General Comments:

Excellent performance, aggressive styling, and a very comfortable interior make this a wonderful car to own and drive.
