Pros: Fast, great handling, great wet traction, smooth, quiet, roomy, great seats, looks good
Cons: Minor (sometimes major) things always going wrong
The Bottom Line: If you are willing to live with minor (and sometimes major) problems, this is a great car.
I recently sold my '92 Eclipse GSX and bought a BMW 328. I was very sorry to see the Eclipse go but I wanted something that felt newer and that I could trust more.
The Eclipse has many extremely good qualities. First, it's fast. There's...

Pros: Cute, Great Gas Mileage, Quiet, Looks great!
Cons: No back seat, Paint has worn out
After getting into a wreck a few months ago, we were forced to buy a new car. Being that we are a family with a new baby, money is short. We hadn't expected to buy a new car anytime soon. We owned a 87 Toyota Pick Up before the Eclipse, so this was...

Pros: Nice Looking- handles well...
Cons: VERY expensive to fix, very unreliable!!!!!!!!
In 1992, a family member of mine bought an Eclipse brand new. It is a "flashy looking sports car". Mitsubishi makes a decent car today, but in the late 80's and the early to mid 90's, they left alot to be desired.
This car now...

Pros: The sporty good looks are a plus
Cons: transmission, seatbelts, windows
I bought my '92 Eclipse because of it's sporty looks. I was a teen when I bought it, so I didn't do much research on it beforehand.
That was a big mistake. Since then I have had to completely replace the automatic transmission (after the warranty...

I bought the car new in 1992. I read numerous articles that praised the performance of the car. I just love the way the car looks. After 8 years, I still enjoy walking up to my fwd black turbo and admiring the design. The car is fast, although there...

Pros: Awesome performance, great styling, fun to drive!!!

The Bottom Line: Awesome car! I will always own one. They are fun to drive and be involved in.
I purchased this car about a year ago for $1000 cash and a $500 trade-in. When I bought the car the seller told me that it was blowing some blue smoke and had a small oil leak (I found at the Cam ring seal). I knew by the price that the car needed work,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: This car looks SWEET and is so FUN!!!
Cons: Too many kids have torn these up.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car if it was a one-owner with low miles. Make sure the timing belt has been changed, too.
This car is fast for a 4 cyl. Of course, since mine is a GS(DOHC), it does get up and go. Unfortunately, before I took ownership of this "Burgandy Beauty", a kid had it and tore it up. It has been wrecked and the front of the frame is slightly bent....

Pros: Looks
Cons: Hardware
The Bottom Line: Great bang for the buck, good looking perfect if you dont want to drive the minivan or if your tired of honda civics, not as many of these around.
I've had this car for a little over a year and have had a few problems. The engine has a tick which I suspect to be the valves, since it eventually stops. The windows fall off the track and the paint is faded in some parts, most noticable on the rear...

Ok....I bought the 1992 GSX model in 1999 and it was the first car I ever owned that I wanted so I was very excited to own this car. AWD, 2.0 Turbo, man I was psyched. I installed new clutch pedals/pads, a K/N filter, and a strut brace across the engine....

Pros: mind blowing speed and comfort

I had a 92 Mits Eclipse, the AWD Turbo DOHC GSX. That is a mouthful and each of those items added more power and fun to this rocket-like auto. The steroe was cd/cass, it had 2 levels of AC, sunroof, mag wheels, tilt, cruise and a driver that loved...
