1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2.0 2dr Hatchback
I bought a 1993 Mistubishi Eclipse GS
with 138000 miles on it in September of
2000. Now at first, the mileage seemed
high, but after doing some research i
came to the conclusion that most of
these cars had high miles because
young, prolific drivers were owning
them. In the three years i've owned
the car, the only problems i've had
(keep in mind this is an eleven year …
old car) were the slave cylinder of the
clutch assembly began leaking, and the
bearings in the auto tensioner pulley
were bad. a grand total of $120
in mitsu parts over a three year
period, on an eleven year old car.
That's reliablility.

1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo 2dr Hatchback
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...
