Sojhomanchey,

99' Eclipse and older are not reliable at all. Ask most of them who has owned it and you will get a long list of problems that is sparheaded by its troublesome transmission. It has a dangerous blind-spot and if you are car-pooling, Eclipse is the last car your back-seating frens will want you to have.

Better Alternatives: Toyota Solara, Honda Civic Coupe, Honda Accord Coupe, Toyota Celica (Not manufatured anymore but attractive)

Y U WOULDN"T WANNA BUY AN ECLIPSE>>>>

  • Difficulties with the service: good dealerships are hard to find, so technically you might have to drive far to get away from runarounds. Dealer services tend to do everything to avoid fixing your car. I ran into it and heard many others complaining. Almost every visit to dealer is like standing a trial where you try to prove that your car is not ok and the dealer tries to prove that you are an idiot. Benefit of the doubt does not exist in Mitsubishi land.
  • Very poor quality of components, brakes, clutches, cheap fluids, rattling interior plastics. Not to mention Eclipse sheet metal that rusts even in salt free states like Florida. Some Eclipses are still equipped by notorious 10 spoke alloy rims that are too soft, tend to bend easily and develop cracks.
  • Very flaky assembly: even though I realize that the DSM assembly plant in Normal, IL is state of the art, both of my doors stick out of door jams, my paint has run on one of the doors since day one, my interior rattles. I found some duct tape used under my front bumper as gasket. The car has no rust proofing on it whatsoever, as if it was disposable after 2, or 3 years, I assume by the rate my car is rusting. Take a look under an inexpensive Volkswagen built in Brazil or Mexico and compare how it is rust protected in comparison to Eclipse.
  • Reliability is the most important reason why I would stay away from another Eclipse. This car is by no means well put together, it is not finished / complete. If I could compare this car to software, I would say that it is functional beta, but not a release. It requires constant maintenance, as you can see by my work orders since the beginning of its days. The sad part is that when you think that it is all fixed now and finally it is going to operate like the new car should, something else goes out.
  • Value depreciation is another very important reason why Eclipse is not a good way to spend your money. After the immediate depreciation Eclipse keep loosing value for so long that even if you want to trade it in 2 years later you are still going to be upside down (owe more than the car is worth).

If ur looking for something sporty and good on gas Toyota Celica is perfect but only thing is that Toyota allready stopped making that model coz of competetion so its hard to find parts....this is my own experience and talking about mitsubishi eclipse is also good but it depends on the condition of car......

Acuar's are really good but not on gas and maintinence is kind a expensive for us specially students. Talking about transmission it all depend on age of car and previous owner. Like if the car is heavily modified and parts are changed think a lot before you buy it....

chrysler sebring convertible.. man that car is a joke... only buy it if u live in midwest... no one drives a car like that in west or east coast. ..

no body will be impressed with a sebring.. it looks weird ,specially the convertible.

the 2door or 4 door aint bad.. but i would still get a Honda, Toyota, Acura, if u can afford it... it will cost slightly more than getting american car.

For me, reliability is the number one criteria.  So, I would go for Toyota or Honda.  If you are flush with cash, go for Lexus.
