At the risk of "killing" another one of your threads...
My parents had a 92 Mitsubishi Galant and it had some strange issues that made we wonder about the way the cars were designed. The radio had issues and the dealership removed it temporarily while waiting for parts and it caused the intermittent wipers to stop working. Also, at one point you could turn on the dome light by shifting your weight in the passenger front seat. It was almost like the wiring harness was a metal block and everything was linked. Overall I wasn't very impressed and would agree with the previous comment that they are the worst of the Japanese manufacturers.
I have no specific Eclipse experience other than I agree that they look great. You have to remember that it is the same car as the Plymouth Laser and the Eagle Talon, just different trim levels were available depending on the brand.
