  We Love It But There Are Problems - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By argentum - December 22 - 12:20 pm

  This car reminds me in some ways of the pony cars of yesteryear. Its heavy, wide and long and low to the ground. But of course its way better. The 6 cyl is more responsive than most of the old 8s. The car handles far more sweetly and the inside is quiet. Even though the ride is tight, its not too hard. And all around mpg is always over 20. There are problems though. During fairly hard cornering on right turns there is a noise from the left side that sounds like a blown cv joint. Slowing down at highway speeds produces some serious vibration especially in the steering wheel.Interior fit and finish is awful.

  Huge Turning Radius - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Keith - September 4 - 9:00 pm

  Overall, I am very happy with this vehicle. I think the interior could be "spiffed up" a bit, but generally it is ok. The blue dash is great at night. The only real issue I have is that for being such a small car, it weighs a lot, and the turning radius is that of a Super Duty Pickup. Allow yourself plenty of swing when trying to fit into a parking space!

  All around great car - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By chris - October 5 - 5:50 pm

  I am very happy with my purchase, car has been flawless so far. Great performance for the money and awesome styling. Visibility is a major problem though. Car also likes to get silly when pushed hard in corners when flooring it. Car should have at least came with a LSD or AWD. Interior also should have higher quality. Although nice enough for most people the interior materials dont belong on a 30K car. All around Great buy with a lot of potential. Just with a CAI performance and engine sound is night and day. In the end you get a little more than what you pay before.

  Love this car - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Laurie - October 6 - 4:43 am

  I love the way this car handles. The four cylinder engine performs great and gets good fuel economy. The handling, performance, look and feel of the car give the impression of riding in a high end sports car without the high end price tag.

  Overall a good vehicle - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By sportbiker3 - August 25 - 11:20 am

  Had the vehicle for about 3 weeks now and overall I am very happy with it. V6 engine is powerful. Exterior styling is unique and gets lots of attention, especially with the SE package. Also love the interior "ice blue" dash lights. Only have a few small complaints. The satellite radio does not display artist/song information like it does in my other vehicles!! And the little blue light that comes on when you turn the highbeams on is way too bright and is annoying to the driver... no way to dim that light with the dash controls.

  A Tiger in Disguise - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By ChrisGT - July 2 - 4:46 am

  Like a Tiger waiting to pounce, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, matches the same poise and agility. Cool and calm, it meanders through traffic, maintaining a firm grip on virtually any surface, but when the moment arises, can leap into the forefront, leaving others wondering ... what was that???? A head turner, its exterior is quite unique to the market, and heralds the same design quality that made the Porsche 911 back in 1962. Interior wise, all the ameneties point to the driver, assuring a comfort level that is always within arms reach. To date, Mitsubishi has remained true to it committment in support of their products. For a re-design, it is quite impressively put together.

  Excellent Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Rob - September 14 - 8:40 pm

  I used to have a 98 Eclipse GS, lasted 11 years so I decided to trade it in for a 08. I have never been happier with my car, its stylish enough for me and affordable, gets good gas mileage in my opinion, and is a smooth ride and yes Ill admit Ive had it at its max 155 on a interstate, it rides very smooth even at that speed. If only it didnt have so much weight in it. 3550 lbs is a lot for a sports car and makes cornering devastating on your tires unless you take them extremely slow. Corning can use some work but even my last Eclipse turned like a Semi-truck so Im used to it. All in all, I love my car and it attracts attention.

  Prior owner of 96 Eclipse in love again - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Dorf - August 13 - 6:33 am

  I love Eclipses! Use to have a 96, and recently an 08 Versa (DULL ride). Just got this 2008 Eclipse GS in Rave Red (beautiful color!). What a difference between the Versa and this car. This car makes driving a THRILL again! Love it!

  Best Buy! - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By EclipseOwner - July 24 - 10:36 am

  I purchased a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with the sportronic transmission. My Eclipse has the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate sound system which is excellent. I have had the car for 3 weeks now and it is an amazing car, it is fast even with the 4 cylinder and gets 31 mpg. It has a surprisingly spacious interior and Im 6 foot 1 so it has a large cabin. The car is very easy to take care of and is a great buy. I used to have a 2006 Eclipse but I was in an accident in April that totalled it. The Eclipse is extremely safe because in my accident I was in a head on collision with a Cadilac Escalade and I was completely safe.

  sad but true - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By mamiya - July 3 - 10:46 am

  Had the car since Feb 08 and finding too many little things that bother me every time I drive it! Should have rented one first for a week before purchase.
