I have had my GS-Turbo since 1996. She has ~170k miles on her, and is still running strong. Alot of people underestimate the power and acceleration of the turbo in GST. I will never forget the first time I really, "STEPPED ON IT", the front popped up and the rear dropped, and next thing I know I was @ 60mph in about 6 seconds (in 3rd) going up a hill, with blue lights flashing behind me trying to catch up (1st lesson learned - check the rear view mirror before take-off). I say that, to say this, if you want stock speed (not nescessarily torque) from a stock engine/turbo, you've got it here.

My beat up jewel....

My previous car was a 1990 crx - automatic, dx. That I didn't want to sell because was so dependable but I needed the money. A friend of mine sold me the car cheap- dirt cheap ($600). As you can imagine, the car was in need of some major "tlc" but it ran and was a 4 cylinder. The first time I drove it I fell in love. As beat up and horrible looking that it was, it got up and went like it had been hit in the rear end by a locomotive. I haven't regreted the purchace since. It's never left me anywhere stranded, always starts and is a blast to drive.

17 years of owning this car

With 17 years of owning this car I have to say it has been fun. A rebuilt trans, a new engine and many other things but I have gone 175,000 miles with it and gone all over the country. many memories and it still looks almost new, which surprises even the dealers.

A "poor man's Porsche"

I owned my 1990 Eclipse Turbo from mid-1990 to the end of 1998. In that period I logged a bit over 46,000 miles in this little rocket, and enjoyed the heck out of it. I sold it only because I'd heard that that the turbo engines were developing problems after 50-60,000 miles, and my wife didn't like driving it once the roads started filling up with huge SUVs. In retrospect I wish I'd kept it a couple of years longer. The torque steer when you accelerate is noticeable, but manageable. Overall, a lot of car for the money!
