Great looking car, crummy reliability

My Mitsubishi was great for the first three years, but after that it was all downhill. My car had two broken timming belts (the original one at 50,000 miles and the third one at 150,000 miles) and I needed to replace the spark plug wires three times. I hate the crappy automatic belts. It is kind of fun to drive, though is it not so great taking off when the ground is wet. The paint job is terrible. The very few '91 Eclipses that are still running look pretty bad. I tried to maintain my paint but lost the battle after 6 years (my Nissan truck which always slept outside still looks new). My Eclipse has been sitting broken in my garage for the past 4 years.

The car is now 17 years old, but still has the guts and get up to smoke mustangs etc. I've had to replace nothing other than a clutch and the hatchback door struts. The car handles like it's on rails. What a joy to own and drive ! And heck it gets great fuel mileage to boot. If you want a really nice car that got some jam under the hood and has the reliability of a locomotive buy one, if you can find one that is.

Best car ever

I love my Eclipse/Talon. Very dependable, awesome power when needed and fantastic gas mileage when just putting to work and back. Great, classic, aggressive sports car lines, yet kind of a sleeper look. The AWD version is perfect in snowy climates and on the big circular freeway on ramps. Handles like a dream! Nice interior for two, although both of my kids have ridden in the back seat many times when they were younger. Hatchback gives plenty of room for groceries or reasonable luggage.

I have had this car since 1997, and I have driven, and driven, and driven this car some more. Yeah, I've had a few minor problems, but nothing really major. When I bought this car, it had 99K miles on it. Now it has almost double (198K miles) and it's still running with the best of them. Five years ago when I first bought this car (age 19), I bought it for speed and looks. Now I'm 24, not so much worried about speed anymore, just looks. But, even with 98K more miles on it than when I started, it will still peel out and leave most of these 'suupped' cars in the dust. To put it simply, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I bought this gsx with 65k on it, it was in mint condition. It was my first really really fast car. The almost 200 horse power was unbelievable. I've smoked everyone that has steped up to the line. It came stock with a k&n filter. The turbo is great but i suggest that you buy a turbo timer for about 180 bucks. This will let it cool down after being driven hard. If you don't let it cool down the turbo bearings will get all screwed up and will affect the proformance.
