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.

Pure Adrenaline - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By cpk - March 8 - 7:46 pmSo far this has been an incredible experience. The dealership was great, the car is a blast to drive both on winding back roads or the high speed interstates. The sport shift automatic transmission works great. The seats are comfortable on long trips and the controls are well placed. The fit and finish is perfect. The 06 Eclipse is the perfect combo of great looks and performance. To top it all off you cant beat the warrenty and the price for a car in this performanc catagory.

23 years later and it is a whole new Mitsubishi - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By David M. L. - March 7 - 2:03 amI swore I would never buy another Mitsubishi after a disaster with an 83 Cordia; but, I was seduced by the looks of the brand new 2006 Eclipse. I put aside my misgivings and bought a 4 cyl. GS -- And, I am blown away by the power, feel, quality, and so far reliability of this wonderful car. Dont believe the reviews that say a 4 cyl. auto. has no power. This car has plenty and with $3.00 + gas it is very thrifty. I got the fog lights installed along with the very reasonably priced optional power & sun package and I have a car that is HOT! People cant believe it only cost in the low $20s. I love it and think I really scored! It is sporty enough and my wife agrees!

Horrible Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Tim Harrison - February 28 - 4:30 pmThe 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT couldnt be any uglier or cheaply made! Mitsubishi has out done itself again by creating an even uglier car than the last. I bought this car for my wife and it has to be a sign of the end for Mitsubishi. We have had problem after problem with it. The interior is a step up from a Dodge Neon, good luck with this junk.

Extremely Fun Car! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Jonathan - January 31 - 10:30 amThe 06 Eclipse is one of the best cars around. I was about to buy a Scion tC but this car caught my eye before I almost got that. Im so happy I got this! Its the best when your driving home with the windows down and everyone stares cause most people havent seen it on the road! Ive only seen two on the road since I got it, and Ive had it for a couple months now.

The 2006 Eclipse RULES - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By mplschemo - December 11 - 3:36 pmI recently bought a 2006 Eclipse and man does it rock! It definitely turns heads. The torque that it puts out is insane for a car that size and can easily beat most stock cars on the market today. Driving at night is awesome. The interior glows a dark blue and everything is easy to read. The only downside to the car is the gas. I drive this car so hard and fast that I get about 15 miles per gallon in the city. Sure, you can get the 18 mpg if you drive nicely but why would you buy this car if you were going to? All around this is an excellent car and I will be driving it for many years!

Style and quality - the Eclipse - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Bob - December 7 - 10:40 amThe Eclipse is the most beautiful car on the road bar none, at any price. It is a sculpted work of art that drives. I love it. It has more of a head-jerk factor than cars costing $100,000 more. I am disappointed in the gas mileage it is giving me - I am getting around 16 - 17 in the city, tis is for a 4-cyl. stick without running the a/c and not getting on it. The results on the highway arnt much better - maybe 24. It is geared pretty low. But I cant not love it, even with the terrible gas mileage. It is too nice.

12 year Mitsubishi driver - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By ny - August 22 - 8:16 pmThe Eclipse is fun to drive. Take a while to get used to the wide interior, dash, hood. GT excellent choice for the price difference. I bought it even with GM employee program available on other cars.

Overall A Good Buy - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By joey45 - August 21 - 2:51 pmThis is a fun car to drive and a headturner for sure. I have 62K on the car and have had virtually no problems except one big problem. My breaks became spongy after 50K. Since it was past the 5 year warrenty I had to pay for the repairs myself. Bleeding the breaks worked for a few months, then the problem came back. Next, it was thought to be the master cylinder, that was replaced and then the problem came back after a few months. Now all thats left is the booster, which may be faulty. So overall this problem is going to end up costing me over $800. Also outside trim/molding for this car is HORRBle. It was worn out after only 6 1/2 years. Cost to fix? $925

Amazing! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By tombrater - August 13 - 9:14 amOkay...I have only had this car for a week. I bought it used with 55k miles. I will update this if I run into any problems, but I am confident that I wont have to. The car looks sweet and turns heads. I took the Eclipse lettering off of the back to create an extra clean look. It is extremely powerful and responsive with acceleration and handling thanks to the 6 speed manual transmission. The RF sound system is one of the best systems I have heard. The car feels sturdy too. No rattles out of the hatchback or anywhere for that matter. The blue instrumental lighting is nice too. As for the person that paid $300 per tire, I found good year 18in tires for $140, and that was brand new.
