Good Points

I have owned my 97 gsx for about a year, and i will never give it up. The gsx has to be the best 4 cylinder that Mitsubishi has to make. Tons of horse for the stock motor and the AWD make you stick to any road surface. I bought mine for $10,000 you may thing that's a lot but, it had only 12,000 on the motor and 81,000 on the body. Manual all the way tuner cars look cleaner that way.


Bad Points

The only bad things i can think of is that it only get 18 to 20 mpg and only premium or higher. But that's understandable more horsepower =more octane. And the stock clutch has to be replace b/c even the stock motor will wear the clutch down. Parts are always a little more expensive, but again thats understandable. The last thing i can think of is the weight, the rear dive shaft and the bulky interior slow it down. no biggy. Also one of the first things you should do is upgrade the brakes stoping power is a must for going fast.


General Comments

I would not trade my Mitsubishi Eclipse for any thing, and I suggest that you try and get one if you do not have one. Aftermarket products are through the roof for the eclipse cars. I only have a thermal exhaust no cat. KandN turbo filter. Skunk 2 short shifter. Greedy front mount intercooler. Greedy blow-off. 18in rims, with low pros raptors. Black with grey inter. I will put more when I have more money course. The eclipse GSX is fun to dive and it will be sure to turn heads. Get one and never let if go.
