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.

  2006 Eclipse GT - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By APB - December 9 - 5:50 pm

  This is my third Eclipse GT. The additional horsepower and torque are a welcome addition. The change to a sensor instead of manual throttle linkage spoils the drivers input on the manual transmission version. When the variable timing will kick in, becomes a guessing game and can have some unpredictable results. The lower first gear combined with 50-60 extra pounds of torque makes for a quick start, but during rush hour traffic, this is more of a hazard. Add bigger brakes for the extra weight. All of the new features related to computerization and sensors are probably better suited to the automatic transmission. They interfere with those of us that actually want to drive the car.

  Its Awesome - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By aburke80 - October 10 - 8:26 am

  The sales consultant was very knowledgable and treated me with respect even though I wasnt dressed in my everyday business suit. Other than that, the car pretty much sold itself. Must get the 650W Rockford Fosgate upgraded audio system. It absolutely knocks your socks off. Its been the best purchase Ive made in a long time. Its a serious reason to rubberneck.

  Sweet Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By The Jaje - September 6 - 2:13 am

  After reading the Edmunds review on this car, I had to see for myself, so i went to the dealership (after playing phone tag with the salesman) and they had two on the lot... an Orange and a Silver. Well, thats that, I drove out of the dealership an hour later in a brand new Orange Eclipse on May 28th. It has been a dream come true. Its incredibly fast, but the ride is so comfortable that you hardly notice any roughness in the road. A real step up from my last car (95 Lumina). I think I am in love with it, its just a very well built car which is incredbly fun to drive. Go out and test one for yourslef, you will feel like i did.

  The Eclipse is Back and Better than Ever - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Gustavo - August 2 - 10:50 pm

  I bought a new 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT in May of 2005. I have enjoyed it and continue to enjoy it. The outside physical appearance is aggressive and mean. The interior is sporty and sophisticated at the same time. People stare at it while driving down the road. If you like what it looks like on the pictures on this web site then imagine what it will look like once it is fixed up. I have already tinted the windows and added 20" rims. I plan on adding a body kit once they become available to make it look even better. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a new car.

  This car is AWESOME! Its great looking, handles great, has good safety features, has good fuel economy, has an incredible sound system, has great acceleration (surprising for a 4 cylinder!), nicely lighted guages, and is really really fun to drive! It is definitely a great car for the money. GO FOR IT!

  2006 Eclipse GT - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By usmcweathr - May 6 - 4:00 pm

  Have only had for 2 weeks and have only put 445 miles on it but so far I love it. I like the red/blue dash lights. The drivers seat is very comfortable although I have not taken it on any long trips yet. Gas mileage could be better but if I was really concerned about it I would not of got it. Forget about putting anyone in the back seat. Where I have the drivers seat there is about 2 inches left. Its very fun to drive and is fast. The car really takes off in 2nd and 3rd at 4,000 rpms. I got the Rockford/fosgate system and it sounds great. Overall this is a great car so far and I would recommend it to anyone looking at them.

  Still the "Fun" Sport Coupe - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Masahiro - January 27 - 3:23 am

  Its been nearly one and a half years and 16000 miles since I purchased my Eclipse. So far, it still performs like it did when I first got it. Its running great! Im totally satisfied with my vehicle. The only improvement I made last month was getting a new set of tires. Got the Kumho ultra high performance (slightly wider than the original Goodyears). And, it certainly was worth the money - rides even better! Im hoping to get many more "fun" years with this Eclipse.

  GT Auto - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Decseh - January 24 - 7:43 am

  Hot looking car, very fun to drive. Car is hungry to go fast all the time. The 5 speed auto with sportshift is fun to drive, if you leave it in auto mode it shifts fast to provide better speed/acceleration. Awesome sound system. Nice leather interior. Great for someone who just rides themselves or maybe one other person. For 263 hp the cars gas mileage isnt too bad. I drive mostly city and Im getting about 16-17 mpg and probably about 25 on the highway. Thats driving with a lead foot too. I dont want to get rid of this car because theres not another car on the market that compares to it. Goes great in the winter as well with the FWD system.
