  Stay away! - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By idl1975 - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Depreciation is horribe: my car has cost me $5k MORE so far than the 99 BMW M3 I was considering, and the used BMW would have come with a _better_ warranty. The V6 cars esp. have reliability issues, including a clutch/throw-out-brg issue. Check the web owners groups to see. Mitsus warranty coverage is a joke - said owners groups are full of reports of people refused warranty repairs. Despite advertising claims, its no sports car, just a Galant with a body kit. If you must buy front-wheel-drive, try an Acura RSX. Otherwise a certified-used German sedan with a good warranty will depreciate less and deliver a lot more fun.

  02 ECLIPSE IN LONGVIEW - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By rjshep - August 25 - 10:00 am

  MY 02 ECLIPSE IS A JOY TO DRIVE. IT HANDLES WELL IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER, DEFINATLY DRIVES LIKE A SPORTS CAR, GETS GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AND LOOK GREAT AS WELL. THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIRS REQUIRED TO ANY WORKING PARTS, JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE. LOOKS GOOD, FEELS GREAT AND IS PRICED RIGHT FOR ANYONE. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LUGGAGE AS WELL.

  It Just Feels Right - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Bizbomb - July 22 - 2:00 am

  If your looking for an exhilarating new car experiance, stop here. The Exclipse GT Premium is by far the best value in a sports car. Just test drive one down a country road with some tight turn and you will see. The more I drive mine, the deeper I fall in love. It is a car truly designed around the driver and their needs.

  Very Tight Ride - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Happy Consumer - July 16 - 10:00 am

  This is our 2nd Mitsubishi, first was a Diamanta. Got a GT with manual tran (a must to experience the full power of the V-6) and the premium pkg. Love the sport leather seats and dashboard design. Must accept that this is a 2 person car only; back seat is way to small for anyone not in a carseat. Mitsubishi must do something about there lifters; they go bad after 70k (right after you pwr tran runs out) and your tight ride start smoking. You can count on this ask any long term owner of a Mitsubishi. Very Very Very fun to drive!

  Good buy - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By leopard - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car in 2000 with sunroof and rear spoiler, and ahd a low interest loan on it. I drove 100 miles a day for the first a year and half, it never gave me any problem, just regular maintenance. It made my 2 hour commute a fun instead of a boring long driving. Now I have 50K on this car and still runs like new.
