Wow. This is a real trip down memory lane for me. I bought a brand new racing green 1995 GSX. It was the first "new" car I ever bought. I LOVED that thing. In the mid-90s the Archer Brothers were racing these (the Talon, to be precise), but they were friend of mine and they hooked me up with suspension, bigger turbo, bigger rims, cold air intake, exhaust, the works. After the mods, it put out roughly 320hp, and it was the greatest sleeper car ever. In the winter, I mounted Blizzak tires and the damn thing was a snowmobile. I loved pulling out into the unplowed left lane to pass pickups, SUVs, snowplows, hell, anything! I miss that car!

The comments are full of people lamenting the good 'ol days of 90s era Mitsus, how they were awesome, and how today the company sucks a bag of dicks. I would agree, but the fact is that we as auto enthusiasts make up a fraction of vehicle sales, so it's always a wise bet for companies to invest in cars that pander to the average driver. Reliable, fuel efficient transportation for the masses. That's why fun cars like these are out and why the Colt exists. Mitsubishi might not be the best company out there, but they're not stupid either. If they're entire line-up were Eclipses and Evos, they'd go bankrupt within a month. For the record, I drive an '07 Eclipse GT.

The 90's had some of the best looking cars, and this was one of them. The smiley face grill still had a sense of aggressiveness to it and the 4G63 was/is so malleable in terms of modification. I think it could have been a better car outside of the engine had it not been paired with Chrysler. Those of you who owned a 2g DSM at one point remember the door handle snapping. the door key cylinder being pushed in, the rattling of the windows, strut tower rust, and the lower ball joint recall. A lot of those parts were shared with the Dodge Avenger/Chrysler 300 of that vintage. I loved mine when I had it, but it definitely was not a daily driver even in its stock form. It was more of a summer car, but I cannot complain as it held up on me in the two years I owned it.

pbfloyd13 well you are (paraphrasing the Eclipse commercial), "very much mistaken," especially when Mitsu's sales have gone up nearly 25% in 2014, over the same period in 2013. The great recession is what essentially almost did Mitsu in despite the 4G Eclipse selling well prior, but they have since recovered from that. And, the all new 2016 Outlander is coming soon. As for your Mitsu dealer, it sounds to me like they need new marketing techniques, as the local Mitsu dealers we have in Houston sell like wildfire.

I worked at the dealer during these years. The awd turbo manual trans is cool but the auto turbo awd really sucks... it's a tease. If you hold it in 2nd gear you can have a little fun around town but the fwd manual turbo is the best. I dislike fwd but it is so much faster feeling than the awd. My fav repair order back then was "customer states turbo is not working like it used to" So I got to go see what it would do. My feeling was the person got used to the power bc it was the best running one I had driven but I didn't make a habit out of running the piss out of customer cars. That one would break the tires every time the boost built in first gear and yeah the tires were good lol. My mentor took me for a ride in awd manual turbo tsi and turning right from a stop sign he dropped the clutch from redline 7k and it was really harsh but did break the tires loose... there was wheel hop and it was ridiculously hard on the car I'm sure... I didn't even like it or think it was cool. But that's what it would do lol He ended up smoking the syncro ring for 3rd in a 92? stealth rt tt powershifting 3rd and it ground... instead of letting off and putting it in 4th he forced it like 3 times and it never took 3rd again.

Toyota made a turbo AWD car back then, and it was called the "Celica All Trac." They cost a lot more money than the Eclipse because they were built much better. As a result, few people bought them, and the car faded into obscurity.

My old Saturn's transmission had "fuzzy logic." Never knew what that did then and not now either.

Motorweek's acceleration tests always made me laugh. Basically hit the rev limiter and dump the clutch or neutral drop it.

Lumbar and memory seats had you wincing with pain after 50 miles making road trips near impossible. This is why I'm swapping mine out with aftermarket ones soon. No more pains in the ass... then lower back... then spine...
