  Form over substance - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By barrow - December 7 - 2:00 am

  I do quite a bit of renting (for business) and therefore get a chance to try out quite a few cars. I was quite excited when I saw this car available. It is quite attractive. The shiftable automatic was quite fun at first. But after the novelty wore off, I pretty much just stuck to the automatic mode. The 4 cylinder model was not very quick. The quality of the car also left something to be desired... as both latches for the trunk cover broke after only a couple week. The ergonomic also was not a high point. Conclusion: if you want a sexy car for not a lot of money, this is it. If you want a reliable everyday car, look to something else.

  the silver bullet - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Mark Flynn - August 26 - 2:00 am

  The bang for the buck with this car is unbeatable. You get a 3.0 lt V6 and a unique eye catching design for 20Gs. When i drive my car to home after workI forget about my daily stress and have some fun.

  Mitzubishi Rocks!!!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By lynzee - April 17 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE my car. I love driving it and turning heads. I love the short shifter and the pick up of this car. I decided that I wanted an Eclipse because I knew that they were dependable. My boyfriend had a 1995 Eclipse which he had for 3 years and loved. He only sold it because he needed a truck for work. When he sold it, it had 180.000 miles on it and never had any problems. Only regular matinence. I have put 20,000 miles on my car in just 7 months. Have had NO problems with it and I love driving it long distance to work and back. Reliable, head turning car, with great gas milage, what more could you ask for?

  I love my Eclipse - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By dking - March 23 - 11:33 pm

  Ive owned a 2002 Eclipse RS for nearly 9 years. For the first 8 this car was perfect. Only scheduled maintenance, not a thing went wrong. In the last 10 months things have started to go. Oil pan rot. Never heard of it and could be due to living in New England. That was expensive. Air conditioner compressor, again expensive. Front struts, VERY expensive! Slave cylinder for the clutch, low cost to repair but was a major inconvenience. Rear gate lifters went the first winter in Maine. car was 5 years old at that time. I just use a stick to hold up the gate. The car has 88,000 on it and just had its first brake job. Not bad. Its up for sale. Just bought a new Altima but will miss my Eclipse.

  EXCELLENT CAR - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Sparky - October 9 - 6:00 pm

  Awsome Car. I was a little skeptical about buying a 4 cyl but it proved me wrong. The amount of perk that the engine has just satisfies me enough! I got the Automatic/Tiptronic with the sun and sound package. Excellent car, excellent design, excellent....EVERYTHING!

  Eclipse Rules the Road - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By vonlang - August 28 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! It is, by far, the best car I have ever owned. The GT V6 has plenty of pickup, while maintaining a very comfortable ride. After driving this car for about a month, I drove from L.A. to Phoenix. At one point during the drive I looked down to notice that I had just passed 90 mph, and I didnt even know it - thats how smooth the Eclipse rides. I love this car!

  I hate this car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Andrea - May 26 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle three years ago. I have one year left before it is is paid off. I have spent at least $10,000 in repairs. I have had to replace the following: clutch, transmission, busted head gasket, radiator, thermostat, clutch cable,stereo and speakers (not a system, just a standard radio),idle control valve, paint due to crappy factory clear coat and rims. The following remain broken on the vehicle: The clock and display system are busted the dashboard is cracked all over the place, the a/c does not work (its gone out twice), the trunk opener is broken, the sunroof is broken and the cover is as well. The trunk wont stay open and the passenger seat adjuster is broken.
