When I bought my car (it's my baby now) it had been horribly abused to the tune of 2 engines & 3 transmissions. When we got it the engine & transmission were rebuilt. It needed a new water pump, all new motor mounts, new belts, & a front cv axle (I think that's what the axel was called). We got it all fixed & now my transmission (it's Automatic) is jumping from drive into neutral until it gets hot so you have to hold it for a bit. Once we fix that & get a paint job b/c mine is all powdery it will be good as new. It's been through a lot but with a little TLC this car way rocks!! ~Princess~
Dependable and fun

I bought this car with 87k on it, now it has 187k. My only major repairs have been a new alternator and new brakes, as well as the normal timing belts etc. Showing its age now: incurable oil leak, A/C has leak, heater takes forever to pump out warmth, seats falling apart. Lots of fun to drive. I get around 35 mpg, mostly highway (where have car makers been the last 15 years if my ancient car gets better mileage than new ones?!). That said, I won't let my 20- year-old kid drive it: HORRIBLE blind spots, dim headlights and freezing in winter. Plus, at 6', he hardly fits in it. Also the engine is a little underpowered when the AC is on, especially on start-up on hills. The back seat is a joke.

This is a great car. I have one and my parents do too. If you are about to buy one make sure that the timing belt has been changed every 60,000 miles. If the belt breaks the engine dies. Another common problem is with the idle control on the AIS motor. Both my car and my parents have had this problem. Other than that, I haven't had any problems since I bought mine used in 1997. This vintage (92-94) is the best looking of the diamond star cars. I get 26 mpg. If you want a truly fast car go with a turbo but good luck finding a car this old that is a turbo that is in good shape. have fun

I bought a Mitshubishi Eclpise 1993 in the year 2002, I could've gotten a Nissan 2002, but when my eyes set on the bright red paint of the eclipse I fell in love with it. Even though it has 9 Years on it and 120000 miles, it sounds and feels as if you were driving a 2002 aports car, it doesn't eat up alot of fuel, and you paolpe know it's the finest car out there. This eclipse is going to last me for a long time!

Don't get me wrong on this car, it is a sports car! However, this is one of the poorest made Japanese cars I have ever owned (it's a runner-up to it's bigger brother '93 3000GT which I also owned). When it ran, it ran fine then the bugs came out. The car had an usual oil leak that leaked into the engine (something to do with the seals) so no oil was present on the ground couldn't figure out what was going on with it. Idiot lights were continuously cutting on and it wasn't because of faulty fuses, there were many electrical and mechanical bugs in this car. It was asthetically pleasing to look at, but not just in the driveway. My '90 300ZX was far better than both the Eclipse and 3000GT.
