I've had two 2nd gen GSXs. These cars are very nice looking, the AWD is great for performance in the snow, wet and dry. The turbo engine has pretty good torque, but it has noticeable turbo lag and the engine runs out of breath at about 6000 RPM, so the fun power band is actually relatively narrow. The mechanical and electrical systems on the car are far from reliable. The dashboard design, while attractive, is ergonomically flawed as the shift lever blocks the stereo. There are squeaks and rattles from interior panes and suspension parts, rain can leak into the cabin. If you're tall, cars with a sun roof can be a tight fit.

This is a great car, fast, cool
looking, dreamy handling, comfortable,
but, every eclipse GS-T or GSX from
1995-1999 has a good possibility of
coming down with "crankwalk". It's a
$4500 problem with no real permanent
solution. Trust me, it's enough to
make you NOT want to buy this great
car. Take it from someone who has gone
through this and done A LOT of
research.
Sorry folks. I love my GSX, but it's
bittersweet. I'd recommend not taking
your chances. I paid the price with my
ignorance.

I have had my car for a month. I got it from my uncle who bought if from an auction, so I have no idea what it's history is. But I do know that it was originally bought in NC (I'm in MI)...explains most of the 142k miles on it.
Sometimes it won't shift into reverse or first gear, and it takes two or three tries to cold start the car. I believe that the charcoal gray paint is not the original, and the coilover springs that were left on it make for too harsh of a ride. But other than that, I love the car.
The car picks up and pulls pretty quickly. The turbo takes a sec to spool but once it does, it's a very fast car for a 4cyl. The BOV sounds amazing (equivalent to the sound of air brakes)

Great car, great handling, turbo is
ok. Could be better on gas mileage,
though.
