Used 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse Consumer Reviews
1993 Eclipse
I got my Eclipse as my first car, and it has never died on me. I had a lot of work done to it when I first got it, but now she runs, and accelerates when I need it to. It seems to be impervious to tickets.
Turbo + AWD rules!
I've had my 93 GSX for over 4 years and I'm still in love with it. There is a huge aftermarket, and spending relatively little money in the right places can yield huge gains. On the street, nothing on four wheels, short of another AWD turbo car (or a musclecar on drag slicks) can hang with my GSX- especially from a stop. 93 and 94 are the best years of any DSM (ok, 93 was the last year of the DSM, but 90- 99 are generally considered DSMs). I've owned 8 V8 FBodies with plenty of mods each, this car is faster, and more practical (with AWD) than any of them.
I love my GSX
i had a honda civic with koni yellow struts and ground control coilovers, and this stock gsx can already out handle it.
My trusty Eclipse GS
It has been 19 years since I bought my bright white GS and it has been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. That is saying a lot. I am not overly hard on my cars, maintain them as needed. The build quality of this car was evident from the day I bought it. Very easy to drive and maintain. Cruises at 70mph just below 2000RPM all day. Even at 215,000 miles, it is a great car to drive everyday. All original engine and transmission components still working fine. Home run car.
ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE CAR TO HAVE
Why I gave all 10? Because it has worked great for a family of husband and wife. It has taken us from long to short distances. I bought this car from a private party for $700 and I have spended no more than $500 mechanical issues. Change oil every 3- 4k. miles and spark plugs, all filters twice a year. Always take it to a certified mechanic for better service I also use 89&92 fuel grade. Motor still running great I would buy another car like this, meavy an upgrade to 1995. This car gives me an average of 25 mpg although when I got it was in 17 mpg. With good service got better mpg. On the hwy 30+ mpg riding at 80 mph my average speed a car with turbo and its age I say I own a great vehicle...
