Used 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Consumer Reviews
Outstanding car
I bought a new GS-T in burnt orange with leather, sun-roof and 5-speed. I thought it was one of the prettiest cars I've ever owned and I got compliments on its looks up til when I traded it in 2001. The only thing that ever went wrong with the car was the outside door handle broke at about 70,000 miles. It was a lot of fun to drive, very fast, stuck like glue in corners and got great gas mileage (25-30).
It's All About The Turbo
The car is great for someone that needs a little get up and go, without spending an arm and a leg.
Best I've Ever Owned
This car has a very bad rap or I just lucked out. Bought w/ 43K, it just turned 80K; mechanically it has been a dream. Turbo needs frequent oil changes (2K to 2.5K per). Tune @ 60Kmi. was expensive. Ball joints recalled as a freebie. Body parts a bit shoddy; all still works but things like the cruise control button don't always work on the first press -- finally does and it's ok for a day. Moisture problems??? A/C, heat are great. Tiny things go wrong. Engine/drive train fab. Turbo gives a kick that current models don't have. On the road it is rock solid. Up to this mileage, the Eclipse is the only trouble-free and reliable car I've ever owned.
over 65000
This car is the worst car I ever had. When I purchased it, the car was perfect and when a few month came by my sunroof wouldn't work anymore. Now my car is in the shop til this day. I've had my clutch fixed 3 times in 3 years, my alternator, my a/c is out which will cost me another thousand to get it fixed, and much more. This car has cost me over 5500 (in 3 yrs).
great car/fun to drive
I bought my GST new in 95, have accumulated 124,000 miles on the odometer, with very few problems. I have modified alot under the hood and undercarrage, and still, no real problems to mention. The only major problems I've had, were the driver's side door handle breaking, and, now, the driver's side auto-door lock malfunctioning. I've got to say, it's one heck of a car, especially for the money. It'll take Mustangs and Camaros no problem, and handles like a dream.
