  • EXCELLENT CAR - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    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!

    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!

    So far, it is a good car, but then again i have only owned it for one month. hopefully itl keep me satisfied. stylish but hard to see out of the rear window because of spoiler. love the fog lamps, 7 speaker 200 watt sound system is entertaining. wish there was a rear window wiper. overall, so far it is a good car.

  • Not a Camaro - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I have a Mits 2002 Eclipse GT 5spd manual that under normal acceleration behaves very well with good gas mileage but a few revs of the motor can be very entertaining. Not as neck breaking as a sports car but fun nonetheless.

  • Nice car - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I have had this vehicle for about 2 years. I have had great experiences with it. It has not broken down, or anything broke on the car, which is different from my neon that I had before.

  • Best power for the price - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    This car is a very fun car to drive. For $ 20000, you get more than 200 HP with an unmatched exterior styling which looks like a concept sports car. Also, the standard acessories are numerous. With the added leather and sunroof options you can get anything you have ever wanted in a sports car. Two thumbs up!!!

  • Fun to Drive! - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Fun to drive, great on gas (especially the 5 speed), Everyone and I mean Everyone looks. Its a really fun sports car. You will definitely get bang for your buck! Just remember, keep up with maintenance!! Really really important. The engine can take a real beating in these cars, but you have got to do the timing belt and oil changes and you should be fine.

  • 2002 Eclispe GT - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I have had my Eclishpe since November of 2001. I have driven it about 10000 miles. I have had no problems with it and I enjoy drivingi it. The one thing that I have had to watch is my speed. The first week I had it I was going to a meeting I wondered why everyone was going so slow. Looked down and I was doing 90 in a sixty mile speed area.

  • Hershers like GTs - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    It took me about 3 months to settle on my car, short by my standards. Ive never owned a Mitsubishi, so I was a bit leery of trying them out. So far, Im very pleased. I change oil, but thats about it. The car hums and absolutely loves to run. It has great mid-range power and acceptable low-end torque thanks to the V6. This is a great compromise between a sports-car and a daily driver.
