1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse for its fun driving experience, good handling, and impressive gas mileage. Many appreciate its performance, noting it's fast and handles well. However, some owners have faced issues with frequent repairs, difficulty finding parts, and concerns about the engine and transmission durability. Despite some downsides, it's seen as a thrilling car to drive."
performance - fast as hell, stops good, turns well build quality - 200 HP stock and capable of double that on stock bottom end = good. appearance - pretty cost of ownership - if this a concern dont get one, parts are expensive fun factor - very fun, dont get a ticket doubling the speed limit!
April 11, 2010Performance- Somewhat snappy...but really needs stuff under the hood. Planning to do that later. In handling, this car was great. Took the highway onramp curve at 75 with no problems. The reccommended speed is 30. Build Quality- It feels sturdy enough, and things arent falling apart for the most part. Had to fix a couple things, but it wasnt bad. Cost- The mileage is wonderful! Ripping around town still gets me 40 or more miles per gallon! I'm going to have to do something about the seals and rings...it tends to burn oil when it idles for too long. After the engine warms up, though, it seems to be fine. Repairs have been easy and cheap---had to take care of the alternator and the lower coolant hose, and in total with manual labor it cost me about 100 bucks, and that was purchasing from Autozone. I looked online, and could have done it cheaper if I was patient enough. Body kits for this are unbelievably cheap---I can get a great one for 200-300 bucks! All other parts are easy to come by as well. Fun Factor- I'm not gonna lie---I've been majorly satisfied with this car. I think the only real problem is that it has no back seat, although we fit (comfortably) Chad and his girl in the back sprawled across the street. Not the most legal thing, but it was acceptable. It's comfy in the front seats, and cruising really isnt bad at all. I'd like a little more pickup, but it works for what it is now. Good for a coupe. Appearance- Honestly, I got a great deal. There are very minor dents in this one, and it looks great in white. The inside was in perfect condition, the material a crimson red that went very well with the seat covers I put on. It is wonderful! Overall, this has been a great car for me thus far. This would be my first official car (not including the Camry, which was my fathers) and I have learned quite a deal about maintaining a vehicle like this (which has been a piece of cake). I would easily reccommend it.
August 30, 2008I miss my little GS, it handled like it was on rails, it looked mean, and its was great on gas. the engine is indestructible, but the transmissions can be semi problematic, especially if you plan on tuning. all around a really fun car to drive.

March 15, 2010love it except the 4g63 needs alot of tlc and a good wrenching after track days but when you roll up to the light with a mustang and corvette and beat the crap outta them it makes it all worthit and the sound of a 20g makes me smile
April 23, 2008It would have been a good car and still running right now if the previous owner didn't wreck it and then drop 4 or 5 more motors in it cuz they didn't know what they were doing, but overall I like this car
March 23, 2008i just got this car and its pretty fun. well anything is better than a geo tracker! yuck! but this is a really fun car but the aftermarket parts are kind of hard to find. but i will manage
