1990 Eagle 2000 GTX Premier review from North America

I purchased the car from an acquaintance who had assured me that it was nearly road ready. He had said that it needed some body work done to the rocker panels and front tires... turns out it needed much more.

The car did need body work on the rocker panels.

The bumper reinforcements rusted out and a new bumper had to be purchased (Junk Yard).

The radiator support and motor mount had rusted out. The radiator support needed to be re-fabricated because you cannot just purchase those.

A ball joint needed to be replaced.

One of the rear rotors needed to be replaced.

The front passenger caliper needed replaced.

The air conditioning no longer works.

The ECS (Electronic Controlled Suspention) no longer works.

Since I started driving the car the alternator needed to be replaced and the fuel pump is also in need of replacement.

This car is incredibly fun to drive. The 16 valve DOHC Mitsubishi engine is very responsive (The 2000 GTX is essentially the Mitsubishi Galant).

The car handles relatively well.

I have found that the car is also very comfortable. The bucket seats are great and the back seat has plenty of room and nice head rests. It is the only car I could fall asleep in the back of.

The electronic gadgets are pretty fun. I enjoy the electronic controlled power steering, gives a very sporty feel, and I also enjoy the "Change colour" button on the dash instruments. I really wish that the ECS still worked so that I could change the ride height of the car and the handling.

As much as I love this car, I would caution future buyers to check junk yards and parts shops in their area and make sure that they can get parts for it. These were a relatively rare car and I have found that some parts are difficult to obtain. For instance, the backing plates for the disc brakes are no longer sold, not even by Eagle or Mitsubishi.
