My first car: Mitsu Eclipse Turbocharger in que
** Update march 26, 2010 - pg.2 **
Just got it this past week, The dealer was asking $11,950 CDN but sold it for $11,150. It has an I4 2.4L engine and around 150hp, manual, 6 disc changer, power everything, and i will put in leather seats later on.
The pics are crappy, i know, but i'll take more when i take it to more interesting places.

I will tune it when i have more money and yes it will be performance wise only, no bodykit this or purple paint that. Also it'll be a light tune, only about an extra 50 - 70 hp more.

Gearbox is really good and smooth, engine is very responsive and it has good torque however there is a "supercharger type" noise when i shift in 3rd and 4th, even though the car doesn't have one, so i'm still trying to figure that one out. The ride and handling is very good but the rear suspension is soft, a bit too soft, kind of like those "no disturb matresses" , so those might have to be replaced. Other than that, overall it's good.... a bit too good cause now my dad wants to drive it everyday to work. :roll:

well the whine you are hearing in 3rd and 4th sound like typical gear noise I would check the fluid and go from there. otherwise these are nice cars but they definitely lack in the power area.
