1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T review from North America
"One of the best cars of this class I've ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous owner had the oil inter cooler go bad.
Door speakers went out and dash speakers went out. Haven't found cause for loss of sound yet...
Previous owner had broken seatbelt guides on each seat and the reclining handles on each seat.
General comments?
This car is great to drive. The turbo has small lag off the line like most turbo's do, but once it is up to pressure it pushes like mad.
This car also has the performance upgrade chip, K&N Filter Charger, and Tenzo type R exhaust. With all these I'm sitting behind about 250-260 HP and the exhilaration is heart pounding at higher speeds.
