1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS review from North America
"Solid quality, good styling!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first drove the car it had no problems whatsoever. The dealer had been hiding some problems on the car though and I ended up paying out about 1000 in repairs before it was finally ready.
After those repairs I had absolutely 0 problems.
General comments?
The car was very strongly built and could take my abuse to it. The 1st gen motors were well built and easily modded.
Despite the lack of turbo, I think the car could have had a bit more power, but it was still acceptable.
Enjoyed the features: This car had everything! Loaded with features and a power sunroof.
The styling was great especially in the shifter. I loved and now miss my Eclipse. If it weren't for a slippery day in April when an underclassman slid through a yield sign, I would still be driving my beauty today. I loved the car and I miss it very much. Very very solid!
