1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST review from North America
"It doesn't get any better than this!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The valve cover gasket was blown, but this was due to the previous owners neglect.
General comments?
This car was amazing. It handled extremely well and hugged the curves. I lowered the car 1 1/4 in. and added after market suspension, and it was like the car was on rails, even at high speeds.
The engine was rebuilt at 160000, and it runs amazingly strong. I added a Blow Off Valve and a Turbo Timer, along with a cat-back exhaust system, now the car will do 100mph in third gear.
The clutch and transmission were very responsive, even at the red line. I previously owned an automatic of the same model and will never again own an automatic of any make or model vehicle.
I am 6 foot one, so I had a small problem with leg room.
I regret the fact that I had to get rid of the car because I could not afford to replace the 215/45/R17 tires.
