1996 Eagle Summit

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 162,000

Pros: "Spacious interior and practical"

Cons: "3 door configuration"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I am the only owner of a 1994 Eagle Summit Wagon LX stick shift. In 1994 it was sold by Chrysler, but it is a Mitshubishi engine under the hood. After 18 years I still love the car. I can flip down the back seat and transport my bike. Mechanically it has been very reliable with ordinary repairs and replaced parts. At about 140,000 miles it is consuming a lot of oil. I add some about every 2 weeks to keep it full. It is needing some repair work now and I am evaluating whether to trade it in for something new. Since I still like the car, the body is in great condition, and haven't had car payments in years, it is hard to give it up. The only thing I would change is the door configuration from 3 doors with hatchback to 4 doors with hatchback."

Great versatile car, very reliable (Mitsu engine)

By Brandon on Sunday, October 23, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 50,000

Pros: "easy in and out, fun to drive"

Cons: "a little higher profile and mid 90's ext. styling"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Unconventional design, (one sliding door) but very easy to get in and out of, seats fold for ALOT of storage space if necessary, enough power if you "get on it hard", very easy to drive and park in small spaces, and pretty good gas mileage for an 18 year old car. Roof rack, rear hatch, power everything and cruise (a must), and starts every time. Mitsubishi drive train should last forever...."

Pros: "Excellent mileage"

Cons: "Hard to find used parts"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Spacious, back seat is great, very easy to get in, when you use this as a cargo it is excellent, mine as a roof rack also and it is very useful, compare to any mini van, my friends say that the year is not noticeable because looks like a 2000 model, when you enter the car seats are high profile, I have a distress with my knee and this help me out very good, strongly recommend this model 3 Door AWD, I can go to the beach, desert name it, I just change the radio for $70 to have CD player with Front USB/AUX in/SD Card, If you find one Car like this, BUY. no regret."
