Vehicle Highlights
The subcompact duo of Mitsubishi Mirage and Eagle Summit appeared in 1989 as twins to the Dodge/Plymouth Colt. Each of these entry-level automobiles was produced by Mitsubishi. A new base-model Summit for 1990 had manual steering and a low-budget cloth interior with cloth low-back bucket seats. Base, mid-level DL, and luxury-oriented LX Summits all had a standard 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, developing 81 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard; 3-speed automatic optional. As for powertrain options, a non-turbo dual-cam 1.6-liter four rated at 113 horsepower was standard in the Summit ES and optional under LX hoods. When equipped with automatic, a 4-speed unit was installed with the larger engine.
