>worst eclipse ever made

Gee, I wonder what could be holding you back? Is it the shit drivetrain, shit engine choices, or shit exterior design?

>>14654833
What's wrong with the engine? The exterior design would be tops if it weren't associated with a weak platform.

My friend recently traded his in. Same color and everything. Door seal leaked and the floorboards flooded when it rained.
Two engine mounts were broken and the engine smashed through the dash every time he took off.

Found your "something" OP.

god help whoever manages to drive that thing next

It being an oversaturated poster car for anything that was meant to represent "fast and cool" for the entirety of its production?

Because that's what it is for me. 350s got overplayed.

>>14660081
i remember seeing the concept at my states car show, absolutely fell in love with it.

Then time moved on and i realised it was fat, slow and looked worse than any other Z.

>>14660081

This exactly. I had a choice between a FR-S and this and I ended up with the FR-S.

They have a decent amount of power that is held back by the fact that it's a giant brick with bad handling.

>every car I like has this problem

>>14654476
Old Mitsubishi's in general for me.
They are great fun, and you can boost them at bonkers levels, until you take your crank for a walk.

>>14660496
or the head warps and cracks

>>14660496
If you pick your years right (1991 for example), you can avoid all the engine trouble
