1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"A lot of bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a valve tap that acts up right when I turn it over in cold weather, but an oil detergent and letting it warm up smooths things out.
Passenger side sun visor was gone when I bought it and the hydraulic struts for the trunk lid are just plain shot.
General comments?
Its been the best car I've owned. It has LOTS of pep and a little zoom around 3000-3500 rpm. Its the feeling that if I step on the gas Ill take off that I never got in my old civic hatchback. I can merge without feeling like I'm going to get run over by faster traffic.
