1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.8 liter
I got my car with 253000 miles. I got it with the cv axle broken and had to replace it and the engine mounts. But when I got these small problems fixed it's kinda reliable. One of my problems has been with the mass air flow sensor. Overall it gets me the sixty miles a day I have to go. I'm happy with my purchase and I may buy another with a bigger engine because I love the look of this car.
1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse is an OK vehicle if you have at least a 2.0 liter engine. The 1.8 liter, which puts out a whopping 92 horsepower, doesn't have enough power to make it up a hill, if you have an automatic transmission. The cooling system is good. The interior plastic trim panels are very cheap and don't hold their designated spot for very long.
DSM
i got this car back in 02 and it was completely stock. since then ive gotten a JDM engine, FP red turbo, 660cc injectors, 3" buschur exhaust, apexi boost controller and SAFC, BJs intake manifold, indy race core FMIC, 3" intercooler piping, ported evo III o2 housing and exhaust manifold, HKS 272/272 cams and HKS cam gears, JE pistons and rods, motec engine management, and a lot more. it runs 9.5 in the 1/4. this car eats supercharged vipers for breakfast. the build quality is excellent and it is fairly reliable. i highly recommend one to anyone who has the opportunity to get one.
Cheap, Reliable, Head turning ride
I used to have a 93 eclipse, 1.8 liter, 5 speed. I was in love with it, i LOVED driving it, it NEVER let me down. It just kept on going. The only reason i got rid of it, was to get a 2002 spyder eclipse!
Engine - strong; everything else - weak
Car is nearly 10 years old (87,000 miles). The engine is very strong and reliable. The electronics are an abomination. I've gone thru 4 computers - 2 in the last year! Shorts everywhere. The dash molding was falling apart after 1 year. The paint job is horrendous. It is now more like powder. I've never seen this on another Eclipse, but can't explain my situation. Car was garage-kept for the first 6 years, and waxed at least once per year (usually 2-3) and hand washed.
