1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"An excellent car for anyone who doesn't mind a smaller car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine went the first day I owned the car. This was not poor manufacturing by Mitsubishi, the previous owner just never changed the oil. There were huge carbon deposits that caused me to spin 2 rods.
General comments?
This car is really fun, and really good looking. This makes an excellent second car. Aftermarket performance is easy, and stock they're pretty quick. These cars have excellent design. Mitsubishi and Chrysler got together to make these. If you want to buy one Look for a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS (make sure it is not the 1.8 model) A talon ESi, or a Plymouth Laser RS. If you want a car that comes faster stock get the Eclipse GST (GSX if you want All wheel drive), a Talon TSi (TSI AWD if you want an all wheel drive), you will have to look into the laser however because all the models are RS.
