1985 Mitsubishi Starion ESI 2.6 turbo intercooled from North America
Summary:
Best car I ever had
Faults:
Nothing went wrong during my all too brief time with this car. It was destroyed by being rear ended while I was sitting at a traffic light by a lady in a station wagon that was going maybe 45 mph when she hit me.
General Comments:
Wonderful handling. A fast car with good torque from the big 4 cylinder, and good power when the turbo kicked in. Combine that with great highway mileage and a 20 gallon fuel tank. I once went over 700 miles across Kansas on a single tank of gas, getting 37 MPG at 70mph.
I've owned at least 30 cars from many major manufacturers (Ford, Chevy, Dodge/Chrysler, Jeep, Jaguar, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Kia, Saturn, etc.) and this Starion is by far my favorite. I wish I still had it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
