Review

I wanted a stealth since they came out. Now I own one! It s red, a little banged up from careless prior owner, but overall its worth keeping. I figure it's something to restore if I ever get enough money to do it, otherwise I swear it's worth ten times it's value in parts. Have you seen the cost of parts for this thing? Yikes!!! I get 22 mpg which isn't terribly bad, but in today's economy 35 mpg would be nice. I store it for the winter and I itch to bring her out in the spring. My stealth is terrible on snow. It's probably the performance style tires. I'd cry if I ever had to sell it. I worry the transmission will some day go out and the cost to rebuild would be in the $2000 range. Great car!!!!!

Favorite Features

Tight cockpit seats, stick to the road handling, superior braking, stock stereo with EQ hooks up to aftermarket amp nice and sounds awesome. Awesome exterior styling. Low to the ground, kind of fast, air conditioning still works like new and car warms up fast. Mitsubishi engine will last 4 ever!!!!

Suggested Improvements

Windows fog up in the summer on rainy, humid days. It's a problem. Parts are expensive, cup holder would be nice (but I found out you can pull the ashtray out and cup fits nice in the hole). Brushed aluminum rims aren't my favorite. I'm being picky though. There isn't much I don't like about this car:)

Review

This was my first car. The power response from the gas pedal to the acceleration is one of a kind, turns on a dime, with after market parts exceeds 800 hp. Smooth ride but rugged when needed. Slices through air like a hot knife through butter. Never got one ticket, played it safe. But if I did it would be for tripling the high way speed limit.

Favorite Features

The driving is only comparable to a Dodge viper nothing else comes close, the drivers seat wraps around your body and comforts you in sticky situations. The suspension makes the car almost completely roll proof.

Suggested Improvements

Don't fix what isn't broken, this car is great.

By far my favorite car that I have owned. Affordable and yet packs a powerful punch. I often turn heads just by driving around town. Love it!

Favorite Features

Interior design.

Suggested Improvements

Stock wheels leave something to be desired, but not a huge deal to replace.

I bought my first Stealth may, it was a dream car of mine, a 1994 ES. It ran great for the first month, then I had some problems (at a very high cost) a $1000 fuel tank and pump and $500 worth of brake work. There were quite a few problems, but I bought the car with 150,000 miles on it so I guess I should have seen that coming. Recently, however, I was lucky enough to find a cheap 1993 R/T with only 83,000 miles and a standard tranny. This car runs awesome I can't complain, it is easy to drive, and every time I take my friends out to show them what it can do, they are amazed. This thing is a 4200 lb sports car with 222Hp and drives like this? I can't imagine what a tt would be like.

Favorite Features

Power seat is the most comfortable seat I have ever been in, in a car. Speed! Gear ratios you can shift to second (without redlining) at 36 MPH, and out of third @ 120-130 MPH. Fun, fast and beautiful car, would find a way to buy a new one no matter the cost if Dodge and Mitsu made them again!

Suggested Improvements

Someone said it already, more power! Maybe a lower stance too, but that is it. Great cars I love them.

I’ve always admired the car. When I was a kid it was my dream to own one. The car has power not kidding. Heads turn every were you go. People still ask all the time "IS IT NEW" I just gave it a custom paint job. The car has 123,000 and runs like a million bucks.

Favorite Features

The 5-spd with the n/a 230 hp, blast. As soon as you sit in it you feel like a race car driver. Keyless entry. Handling, leather seats. Still soft to the touch

Suggested Improvements

Seating. Cup holders, no room for four
