First did you do a search for this or check out the threads at the top!

#1 its 95-99 2g.

#2 Every car is crappy if you treat it like shit and never properly maintain your car like having the oil changed in the proper intervals and evrything else that goes with proper maintenance.

So in other words if you dont know how to maintain a car then its gonna always be giving you problems because you didnt take care of them before they became problems, unless you routingly take it to a shop for checkups.

Machines that are used eventually break. Even if you take terrific care of your 95-99 Eclipse, parts are going to break and fail because it is an old car. If you are looking for something that you can drive every day and never have problems with, buy an 04 Honda Civic.

Eclipses are IMHO much more fun to drive than many cars, much better looking than many cars, and not especially more or less reliable than any other car.

A little example: my Talon has always been serviced at the dealership, oil changed regularly, and I have continued this tradition of good care since I bought it. However, it started overheating--I took it to the shop, and the radiator was almost 40% clogged. They found blades from the water pump in the radiator, and after cleaning the radiator, the problem is still not solved. This is simply the detereoration of parts resulting it what will be an expensive problem to get fixed--not the result of poor maintenance or neglect, and not something that doesn't happen in any other car!

hmm, I don't know what your talking about, Eclipses are dope, with or without modifications. It's not your gonna get a Skyline and race on the street like an idiot and get arrested. So Mistubishi Eclipses are in fact good cars

[JoeWagon]

We go through this a lot, so I won't waste many words. No, they don't break down all the time, but yes they break down if they are heavily modified. You could get a lemon with ANY brand, so don't take any reliability claims too seriously. Eclipse owners still love their cars.

[96TSi]

i love my car even though its sitting outside with the electrical problem

DSMs are fun cars but like everyone else says... shit will break... like any car

[98GSX]

dude just buy a 96 honda civic with like 80,000 miles and drive it for another 300,000.... reliable... an you can put some APC and NOS stickers on it and make it faster... thas what you should do IMO

[96TSi]

Speed kills, drive a Honda and live forever.

[98GSX]
