2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder 3.0 from North America
Summary:
Sexy, stylish, fun, easy to drive!
Faults:
Has common problems with the headlight wiring harnesses melting, rattles among the convertible top, leakage from weather-stripping, and when coolant hoses get too old watch out for the return hose not getting hot... It means there is no coolant getting to the T-stat. This can result in a seized engine!
General Comments:
I like the overall feeling of the car. The problem is the feeling can get you in trouble, I was on the highway and screamed up to 120mph and didn't know I was going so fast until I was pulled over by a state trooper. Oops!
I would also like the car more if it had a little more power off the line. (going from a dead stop to pedal to the floor)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I beg to differ with the previous comment. I've had my own Spyder Eclipse GT past 130 mph with no ill effects.
