NHTSA Crash Test Results 1990 1991:
Varies by model and year, generally good for its era. Specific ratings may not be readily available for all sub-models. The manual will provide details on safety system components.
Braking System:
Front: Ventilated Disc Brakes; Rear: Solid Disc Brakes. Optional Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) available on select models.
Restraint Systems:
Three-point seat belts with pretensioners, driver and passenger airbags (optional on some models), reinforced safety cage construction.
Audio System:
Factory AM/FM stereo with cassette player, optional CD player on higher trims. Speaker configurations varied by trim level.
ABS Availability:
Optional Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) on select models and trims.
Cruise Control:
Standard on most higher trim levels, optional on base models.
Oil Change Interval:
Every 3,000-7,500 miles or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used (consult manual for specific recommendations).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Recommended every 60,000 miles or 5 years for the 4G63/4G63T engines (critical component for interference engines).
Engine Oil Type:
API SG or SH, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 (check owner's manual for specific viscosity based on temperature).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze (e.g., Mitsubishi DIA QUEEN Super Long Life Coolant or equivalent green coolant), 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
API GL-4, SAE 75W-90 gear oil.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Turbo Charger Durability:
Early turbo models (4G63T) can suffer from turbo wear or failure due to infrequent oil changes or aggressive driving without proper cool-down periods.
Timing Belt Tensioner:
The timing belt tensioner on the 4G63 engine can be a failure point; regular replacement is crucial.
Rear Main Seal Leaks:
Common for older vehicles, rear main crankshaft seal leaks can occur.
Cv Joint Boots:
Degradation of CV joint boots can lead to premature CV joint failure, especially on AWD models.
Manufacturer Alliance:
Developed through a joint venture between Mitsubishi Motors and Chrysler Corporation (Diamond Star Motors - DSM).
First Generation Design:
Known for its sporty styling, front-wheel-drive architecture, and optional all-wheel-drive system, particularly with the 4G63T engine.
Platform Sharing:
The DSM platform also underpinned the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser, with design and engineering contributions from both companies.
Assembly Location:
Normal, Illinois, USA (Diamond Star Motors plant).
