    i bought the car as my first true car out of high school. wanted it for a commuter car to college and was perfect for it. every time my friend get in the car they are amazed to how comfortable it rides i even had one offer to buy my seats for his car. the stereo is great for stock better than most after market. the 5 speed is sporty and shifts the best out of all the manuals i have driven. although a little low in hp the car is still fun to drive and can still smoke a civic. the gas mileage is decent as long as you dont keep the throttle to the floor. i have had no major problems from this car and it still shines like its brand new, makes friends jealous. 96000 and still strong.

    The car that I bought is a light blue color. When I pass by a mall or a public place people always have to turn and look. The interior is great because it is very unique and also I have made a few ajustments, and I have made different mods to the engine also.

  • LOVE THIS CAR - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    Ive had this car for a little over 6 months now and I absolutely love this car. I have a 2001 GT with PP and the power of this car is amazing! I know it could be a little bit better for the engine size and HP its pushing with some more fine tuning, but even so, I love the thrill of riding in 2nd gear at a good 2500-3000RPM and then just flooring it! ABSOLUTELY the best feeling in the world!

    I been driving my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS for nearly a year and a half. It has just resently been wrecked and it held up well though the accident, the air bags saved me a lot of pain. This model holds tight to the road and has great control.

    Great car. Bought this car new, had it about 7 1/2 years; car has never had any major repairs, just regular maint. I have never even had a tune up and it has over 150,000 miles. Gets average 25 miles to a gallon; on highway only about 27. Its been a great car.

  • A fun car with minor problems - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I havent had my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT very long, but I already love it. The car itself looks great, Ive had random people on the street comment on it and often see people watching my car drive away. The inside looks good too, with the leather and design, but the controls could look a little better. Appearance isnt everything but they know that. This car had a lot of power and is a lot of fun to drive. Most other cars are left in the dust, although this does hurt the fuel economy a bit. Its painfully apparent that Mitsubishi does make these cars cheaply, though. The previous owner had to replace the clutch and Ive read about major problems this car has. I still recommend it.

  • great starter - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I also own a 2002 acura RSX, as well as my eclipse. I loved the car at first but it needs alot of improvments, compaired to the RSx it has no tork, and alot less comfort. To my surprise I loved the factory radio-sounds great. Has alot of extra room that could have been avoided-after driving the RSX and then geating into my eclipse it is a real ruff ride.
