My review of the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX in FH4
General Specs:
Engine: 210hp and 214ft-lbs of torque from a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 (the ever famous 4G63T, and my favorite engine)
Transmission: 5-speed manual, front engine, all wheel drive
Acceleration: 7/10 kinda slow but its fun when it gets up to speed
Top Speed: 158mph (but I got 164mph on the highway)
Weight: 3,199lbs
Displacement: 1,997
PI: 543
Price: 25,000CR
Daily Drivability: 8/10 very easy to drive around town in… but kinda annoying to keep letting off and on the clutch when stopping and traffic
Braking: 7/10 easy to stop but not the best
Handling: 7/10 a bit of understeer but can grip really good
Launch: 7/10 not the quickest car in the world but it’s a lurch because of the AWD
Donuts: 4/10 cannot do real donuts because of AWD
Shredability: 5/10 cannot hold drifts for very long
Looks: 7/10 I don’t like the front at all… I prefer the facelift version a lot (one of my fav cars) and the rims are horrendous, but other than that I love the looks
Interior: 6/10 pretty basic for the 90s… nothing much else to say about it
Fun Factor: 8/10 very fun car to drive basically everywhere
Sound: 9/10 I love the sound of 4G63T’s a lot and the turbo flutter is really nice
Personal Opinion: overall this car is great, very good car for the price… can easily be modded to make lots of horsepower and can be made into any kind of build (Drift,drag, rally, etc). I’ve loved this car so much, it just has the charm, it’s mostly from The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious (I know it’s a different gen but it is still an Eclipse and still cool)… yes I know that’s extremely cliche but it’s true… Paul Walker has a huge inspiration on me personally and my love of cars… yes there may be a bit of bias in this review but come on, everyone can agree that the Eclipse is a worthy car for everyone… this car is prob my favorite car ever tbh
Recommendation: 9/10 👍👌

Real donuts? Can’t hold a drift? You’re just a bad driver lmao
Thanks for being an asshat… it’s 210hp, AWD, and weighs 3,100*lbs… you think you can be Ken Block in a stock Eclipse? I didn’t think so

Can you do a Mk3 Golf VR6 review?
Yes
In game it’s a bit eh.
Irl it’s not a very interesting car and extremely uncommon.
Which is why I gave it a B
