1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo 2dr Hatchback
I have had the privilege of owning this car for 10 years now.
I bought it from my neighbor for $1000 in the spring of '04 as it was hit in the back end.
I fixed it up for another 1K and for 2K I had a real rocket ship.
Power is unbelievable! will plaster you to the back of the seat in first four gears!
Stay out of the turbo and get 30 mpg on highway.
Who could ask for more?
I have … restored it in last couple years and looking forward to many more carefree miles.
If you get a chance to get one...JUST DO IT!!
Fun to drive-- for a single gal

1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback
Sporty car with a bad paint job.the
factory paint was sun bleached and
peeling in 1998! Lots of fun to drive--
smooth shifting and little
bouncing/rattling. It got about 28mpg.
Problems I had with it: wouldn't idle
when the engine was cold, stalled as
soon as you took your foot off the gas.
It burned a lot of oil, but NEVER
leaked. Temp.guage also failed. Other
parts … that I know fail on early 1990s
mitsubishis are the hydraulic arms for
the hatch-- mine never worked, neither
did those on a 1993 Eclipse I drove.
MUCH roomier than Honda Preludes, but
there's NOT enough legroom in back for
your standard adult.

1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2dr Hatchback
I recently got my 90 eclipse base and it's 1.8 L non turbo FWD. and it's my first car so I'm kinda disappointed because it's not what I thought I was getting it's only got 94 horsepower but it's a great car for gas. I'm at about 174,000 miles and there's nothing wrong engine wise except that it's not fast at all. i mean this car has never even heard of the word torque. but it's a good … car for saving gas.and if your only taking about 1 person with you. and my hatch arms don't hold it up to i gotta get some new ones but i hear that happens all the time.
Great car

Owned the car for 10 years and replaced the battery and tires and did routine maintainence, that's ALL. The car was quick with loads of torque steer, awesome car.
