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.
great car

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

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.
Turbo + AWD rules!

1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Turbo 2dr Hatchback AWD

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.
Great car even after abuse.

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~
