Differences between RS and GS

[Eclipse lover]

Whats the differences between Eclipse RS and GS 2G? In Italy Mitsubishi sell only GS model, if I wanna a GS-T or a GSX I must go in Spain or in Germany and spend more than 15000$ for a 95 GS-T

RS is the base model
Engine wise its the same

the only difference is the trim.
like CD player/power windows/locks/wheels etc

GS is more likely to have better options than an RS, but I think you could get whatever options you wanted on RS back in the day, which means you could find an RS with leather.

also gs, i think has a sliding sun roof optional!

I have an RS and have power everything (no sunroof, I would rather not have the extra weight) but the main differences include the RS not having a rear sway bar and rear disc brakes. Power options, leather, fogs etc were all optional.

But GSX and GS T has the sunroof or it's an optional?

[FourG63 97GST]

option

[JoeWagon]

sunroof optional, but there are very few GSX's without these common options. Reason is, when a dealer orders (gets sent) cars, they will figure if someone buys a top of the line GSX, they will want most top-of-the-line options. You can find this in any car sold, most Celica GT-S with factory TRD aero kits for example, have most options. Most people don't pay 3k extra for a body kit (or whatever) if they don't want to pay the extra for other stuff like leather.

Hehe I personally think I only seen one Eclipse out of I dunno hundreds that had hubcaps on. I think it's rare to find them on our cars, because of exactly what JoeWagon said.
