2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sypder GS from North America
Summary:
Average car, but if I knew then what I know now I would not of bought the car
Faults:
With in 3 months of owning the car the whole electrical system died - Delership fixed with no problems and no problems with that since.
Paint started fading around 58,000 miles.
New brakes and rotors at around 40,000 miles and need new ones again at 65,000 miles.
General Comments:
Fun car, good car; but seriously disappoint about the paint fading and having to get it repainted.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Did you use proper car shampoo or dish washing liquid for it to lose it's lustre? Or is the paint quality really bad ?

YES! The paint quality is THAT bad. I had bought a black 2002 Eclipse a few months ago (9-09). Car has been repainted. Mitsubishi cars are definitely known for paint issues early in their lives. I have a 1996 Maxima, the paint looks brand new (for its age).
