I know being new isn't the a good excuse, but here we go. I'm going to buy a 99 eclipse gs tomorrow and it has k on everything, it seems well maintained and the guy that I'm buying it from says it has no problems.
This is my first Eclipse and i don't know much about how long they'll last. I know that with just about any car, as long as they're well maintained and have fluids changed frequently, they can last a long time. Can anyone let me know if I have anything to worry about and what to check to make sure its in good condition? I greatly appreciate any responses, please respond asap. Sort by date Sort by votes.
All depends on maintenance - oil changes for starters- the motor's "life's blood". I've seen A's go over K miles and still run in decent condition.
Others will chime in on their opinions of maximizing and extending motor life, but this one main factor above is the beginning to keep a motor running for years. I've seen 50 plus year old vehicles with tonnage of miles on them on the original motor.. In our June issue, an advertisement for an Escort Solo radar detector appropriately bookended a two-page spread about the hp Speedtek Spyder, one of the most powerful front-wheel-drive cars we had ever tested at that point.
Speedtek owner John Lewis and his team of engineers gave it an upgraded exhaust, a larger turbocharger, an ECU reflash, lowered and stiffened Eibach springs, and performance wheels and tires. The result was zero to 60 mph in 6. The other vehicles might be more sought after, but the Eclipse started what has become the biggest car-movie franchise ever created. Every tuner car on Craigslist with a Sears Tower—size wing, fake roof scoops, and questionable nitrous hookups can trace its lineage to this.
Mitsubishi scrambled to spice it up by adding a range-topping GTS model. The GTS trim beefed up output to horsepower, mainly thanks to a new intake manifold. Despite the poor grip, a soft suspension, and a loud cabin, it was enough to land the Mitsubishi in second place—tied with the Toyota Celica GT-S—in a sports-coupe comparo. Employing the same hp 3. The GTS in its name indicates it left the factory with the 6G72 hp 3. Did we mention the flames? Once upon a time in , we fell in love with the Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept-E, which previewed the styling direction of the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Equipped with an electric motor that drove the rear wheels and a 3. It was a total eclipse of our heart. Sadly, the new version remained front-wheel drive only. But a Mustang GT will smoke it. Looking to conjure up some excitement for its recently redesigned Eclipse, Mitsubishi left a few examples in the care of its Ralliart motorsports division so they could apply some of their magic.

Mitsubishi designs are rooted in Mitsubishi heritage. And since there was much to love about the Mitsubishi Eclipse sport coupe, it was only natural that it would inspire one of the best-loved vehicles in our current lineup: the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Although the two vehicle platforms are distinct, both are driver-centric. Many features that made the Eclipse a success — from the ergonomically-designed cabin to the turbo engine — were fined tuned and live on in its namesake.
The feature has been adjusted to promote better mileage results. In addition to the available paddle shifters, the 8-step sport mode lets drivers shift manually for maximum control.
