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.

  I Love It - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Kryto76 - October 9 - 11:36 am

  The only thing I wish that Mitsubishi had done was let the fog lamps stay on if you pressed the button. Instead you have to turn them on all the time when you turn on the head lamps. Also, this car needs an MP3 jack for the iPod.

  WOW - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By KWL33181 - September 17 - 5:03 am

  I just purchased my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 6-speed, and WOW. It is extremely fast, and fun. Finding a dealer to give me the price I wanted was the hard part, but know it will be not getting too many tickets. I look forward to racing it in the SCCA, should be fun. It took me four weeks to get this car, hard to get all the options I wanted, but it was well worth the wait.

  GS or GT? - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jason S - August 10 - 2:00 pm

  When I drove the GS I thought it was a pretty neat car. Then I made the mistake of driving the GT and had to fork over some more money to take that one. The ride is fairly quiet and it is great to drive. The interior at night is very pleasant on the eyes. The front seats are very comfortable!

  Awesome Car! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jessica Nevins - August 6 - 8:23 pm

  My Eclipse is very nice. It gets awesome gas mileage, and I love the way almost everything looks. The 6 disc CD changer is awesome. I definitely will stay in the Mitsubishi family!!

  VERY Impressed - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By travisfieldcop - July 18 - 1:10 pm

  This is my first Mitsubishi and my first sports coupe. I was attracted to the new Eclipse as soon as I saw it. Its incredibly fun to drive and turns many heads. I enjoy driving and watching people turn to look and admire the car. I have received several compliments on the exterior styling. All and all I am VERY pleased and excited to own this car. I selected the GS model because of the price and do not regret it at all. Its a blast to drive!

  Naaa - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Miguel - July 6 - 7:23 pm

  This car is a new model yes, but dont let the looks fool you. I rather perfer the 99 model, in all ways except for the stereo system, but as of now with all new cars, the stereo systems are at their supreme sound quality.

  this is the best Eclipse ever - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By scott - July 6 - 4:00 am

  The new engine puts out about 270 horsepower about the same torque. The Eclipse handles excellently for a car that weighs more than the pervious versions. The exhaust is sweet to hear growl when I start it up. The interior is great as well, with everything within reach

  So So of a car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By DrWankel - June 20 - 12:00 am

  Bought the new gen GT with sun & sound pkg when it first came out and was enjoying it for awhile till just after 2 months the front brake rotors warped. Brought it in to the dealer and after threats I got the rotors warrantied. 2 months later again warped, replaced with aftermarket never again had a problem. The Radio? whats up with the display? my girls saturn has a much better read out, I mean top of the line fact Rockford come on, bad design. NOT EVEN AN IPOD JACK (dealer offers an ipod setup for a cheap $230?!) For a car with its decent performance, the fact tires suck in every way I had to upgrade those too! Overall not impressed, I would never ever buy another.

  Love my Eclipse GT Special Edition "RV" - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Speedy Cowgirl - March 11 - 9:36 am

  After a decked out 300M "couch on wheels," I didnt think Id be happy with a small car. The Eclipse is stronger than my 300M was, and very sharp looking with the ground effects. I LIVE in my car (thus the RV part of my title). I drive 130 miles/day round trip to work. 2000-mile roundtrip road trips a couple of times/year, without disappointment; 50000 in 20 months! It has excellent handling and performance, although difficult to park. It consistently gets 28 mpg as long as I dont drive like a fool. Seat heat & "vibrating massage" from the 650w speaker are also nice on road trips. The car is built for one person, although passenger will enjoy seat heat/leg room, but no power seat.

  MANY improvements! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Michele, FL - February 23 - 6:33 am

  I have been driving Mitsubishi cars since 1994. Most of those years I have driven the Eclipse. (2004 I had the Outlander XLT, nice SUV! But I did not like how an SUV is blown around on the highway by winds). I have NEVER had an engine problem with any of my Mistsubishis, but did have problems with the quality of the bodies (only in the Eclipse) and loose handeling. This years model has MANY improvements from those in the past! It has MANY more saftey features, like WINDOW airbags, as well as front and side airbags. This years body feels much more secure on the road, it is MUCH tighter. The body is of a higher quality also. It also has much more of a "sports car" feel and look. I have to say I love the car.
