The cars design is just dangerous, you cannot see what's behind you to the sides at all.

This does explain why I never see Eclipses at the autocross.
Why you would design what supposed to be a sporty car with a poor turning angle is beyond me.

its a car designed all around young women, they have no need to go fast.

i mean ppl can say the same for my car but at least it has some performance in it

I can't stand people who bash the Zetec. It has a great head and high power potential.

When you combine that with inability of it to even make a simple u-turn who in their right mind would want this thing. My step-dads '88 Lincoln Town Car has a better turning radius fer christsakes.
Also I'm not bashing Mitsubishi, just this one particular pos they produced.
I'd actually buy an EVO 9 if I had the money - so they can make an awd sedan that you can see out of, goes fast, AND turns, why couldn't they do it with their sporty little coupe?
who needs U-turns? if you make a U-turn it's probably because you don't know where the hell you are going. J/K much love.
