Vehicle Highlights
Marketed under a trio of names, the Mitsubishi-built subcompact was redesigned for 1993. The Mitsubishi Mirage and Eagle Summit are similar. A 2-door coupe replaced the prior hatchback, augmented by a 4-door sedan. Wheelbases grew two inches. Head and leg room shrunk slightly. Rear leg room in the 2-door was about an inch shorter than before, and an inch longer in the 4-door. Base and GL Colts went on sale. Two overhead-cam 4-cylinder engines were available: a 1.5-liter and a 16-valve, 113-horsepower, 1.8-liter for 4-door models. Five-speed manual shift was standard; 3- or 4-speed automatic either standard or optional depending on model. Antilock brakes now were available, and were an option on GL 4-doors.
