Overview & Reviews
The Eclipse returns for 2006 with a dramatic redesign.
- Torquey V6 with great exhaust note, outstanding seat comfort, nimble handling for a front-driver, stylish interior with simple controls and ample cargo space, exceptional Rockford Fosgate stereo.
- Heavy for a sport coupe, sluggish four-cylinder engine, excessive torque-steer on GT, big turning radius, cramped backseat, no stability control.

Fun and Fast - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Mike Soffer - November 21 - 7:46 pmI have put about 4,500 miles on the car. The slap stick is great and its nice to just slip into drive when in heavy traffic. The car is great except for the "back seat" it is just for show or to punish your kids. Its handling is excellent. Its steering is very quick. This is a sports car for Dad. I have found that the car runs best on 93 gas.

Fun to Drive - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By royce - October 20 - 12:03 amI have thoroghly enjoyed this car my only problems have been the SRS system in the passenger seat. The car safety features are the most appealing. I was driving home from Cleveland when an ice/snow mix started falling. A vehicle spun out in front of me and I applied the brakes. That along with the traction control prevented a major accident.

Hot Car...Equals Hot Chicks! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Moe - September 26 - 11:16 pmThe 06 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a great car, I just picked her up on Friday (7/14). Its been nothing but fun. I get great compliments from random people. The car is really quick. Also, its an official chick magnet. If you want to be the guy/girl that wants to stand out on the road, this is the way to go!

Cant wait to sell it - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Puglove - September 9 - 8:20 pmI bought my Eclipse new and the second week I had a tick in the engine and my exhaust rattled. The dealer had no explanation for the tick except to change the oil...did nothing. My CD changer went out in year 3. The air conditioning controls also went out...the fan works but no cold air except for #1 on the dial. I now also have some loud rubbing noise coming from the back end. When driving it sounds like something is open as you hear all road noises. When it rains something in the hatch leaks. The gas mileage is good however and this car has pep even with the air on (if the air works that is). This is my first foreign car and will be my last. Mits has made me frown on foreign.

I love this car! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By ink - September 5 - 5:46 amI bought this car in 2006 straight off the truck (literally). Im one of about 5 people in a 50 mile radius that even owns a 4G Eclipse, there is no torque steer if you dont floor it from a dead stop. Handling issues are pretty much B.S., I took a turn going 60 mph with no problems haha, and I can go through curves at 75 mph, so whatever. Noisey exhaust? haha its an import - hello!!!!

WOW! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Adam - August 28 - 6:10 amFor the price, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is the best car out there. It has an awesome warranty, looks at least $10,000 expensive more than it is. A dude at the gas station looked shocked when he asked about the price and I said that I got it for around $20,000. This car is nice and fast. It is one of the best looking cars out on the road. It provides great comfort for front passengers, but the rear seats are just for show (thats why its not a 10). It has a good sized trunk for lugging around my hockey equipment. Mine is the awesome new color of pearlescent orange (think metallic orange that looks red at night and bright orange in sunlight)

Practically Perfect - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By drc - August 17 - 8:06 pmI have had three other Eclipses - a 1992, which I traded after a few months for an identical model that was turbocharged, and then a 2000 Eclipse GT. This one is obviously the best of the bunch. Every feature, from the radio to the door locks to the dash to the seats to the glove box - everything - is better than the previous model, and I liked my 2000 very much. I can say that I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with any of my Eclipses. I drove the last one over five years and only changed the oil and the tires. They have been totally problem free. I cross shopped this with the Nissan 350Z - too many tire problems, and the Chrylser Crossfire - which I decided was too small.

Wow, its so much FUN - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Goran - May 8 - 1:10 pmIve been driving my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS for two weeks now and wow, what can I say...I love it. Everybody loves it. Heads turn wherever I go. It has excellent looks, power, and I love the stereo (I got the upgraded 650W). Its a joyride. I do recommend getting a small mirror to extend your view. It does have a few blind spots...but sho cares. ENJOY!

Mitsubishi does it again! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By GThomas - May 5 - 2:53 amI own a 2nd generation Eclipse and when the 4th generation came out, I was put on the waiting list. The car is awesome, full of power and a great surround sound system to boot! The sport seats are extremely comfortable and headroom and visability are good as well. Great styling rounds out this great ride. It should do well.
