hey, im looking at getting this black 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse. i really like everything about it. but the only thing im kind of upset about is the 4 cylinder engine that it has... i want a car that goes fast and is powerful and everything. so do you think a 4 Cylinder engine is too small or wimpy?


Answer
A 4 cylinder is great on gas but it is not fast. An import isn't fast since the most they go up to is a V6 so if you want a powerful fast car you should get something with a V8.

How popular is a 91 Mitsubishi eclipse?

I have a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gsx Turbo. It has an oil leak on the bottom. I am trying to decide to sell it or repair it. If I sell it, I want at least 1k for it. I only have to fill up the tank once a month and that is because I do not want it less then a quarter tank. I love this car except that it is an automatic.

My question, is how popular of a car is this? Especially being a 1991. It is a 4 cylinder sports car.



Answer
First, it's not a sports car. It's nothing like a sports car. Sports cars are lightweight (your GSX is 3100lbs, barely lighter than my V8 mustang), rear wheel drive (GSX is AWD, all other eclipses are FWD), 2 seat, 2 door (eclipse is 2 door, but 4 seats) roadster (that means convertible ONLY). Now, as for how popular it is, depends on how old you are. They are very popular among young kids, in the 16-19 age range, mainly because you can go relatively fast for relatively cheap (although you'll spend a fortune repairing it when you do go faster). Once you get into 25+ year olds, it's just another old, ragged out economy car with a hairdryer (turbo).
