  Awesome "whip" - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jennifer - January 3 - 10:46 pm

  I have had my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse for about 6 months now. I have not had any problem with it and I love it. I get lots of compliments and looks, a lot of them from the police! I have always wanted an Eclipse and I am glad that I chose this one. I agree with everyone else in that it is a "drivers" car. There is not a lot of space in the backseat. It also became a little pricey when I went to tint the windows, because there were so many "little ones." I also think that the cost of repairs seems to be a bit expensive. I had my car for 3 months and hit a deer. it took almost 2 months to fix because of the new body style, but it isnt the cars fault.

  2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (Got Torque) - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By neogeo - December 26 - 5:46 pm

  This car is just awesome. It is the best Eclipse ever. I put it in first, second, third, fourth, fifth, six gear and it just wants more power. The initial takeoff is amazing and it is an eye catcher if youre single. It has great response, a great sound, and amazing control. I just wish I can find ground effects for this car soon, before everyone has one.

  My Review...The Real Deal - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Mr. Eclipse - November 27 - 7:16 am

  Im 17 years old and we purchased my 06 Eclipse back in July. I love this car so much. Plus, it helps me feel better about myself. All my friends like the car too. I love driving the 6-speed manual. I wouldnt have settled for the automatic. This is deffinitely a car that holds its own on the streets. And it turns plenty of heads as you drive by in style. Just dont plan on taking a few friends out for the night. Maybe one in the back, but thats all the backseat is going to fit comfortably. And thats if they recline in the whole seat with their legs up in the seat. Its tiny back there. But if you want to take that nice young lady out for the night alone, it is awesome.

  My First Import - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Linda Jones - November 13 - 7:06 am

  I have never bought a non-American car before. I have been driving Cryslers Sebrings and Dodge Avengers since the Avenger first came out. I do like the previous cars, but they no longer make a Sebring with a manual transmission and I couldnt find a used one. The Eclipse caught my eye with its stying. I LOVE it. Its very fun to drive! I love the looks and feel. Well see about the reliability. Time will tell. I sure hope it holds up as well as the Cryslers, as I have very good luck with them. This car is quieter as well. It does not have as much road noise. It handles like a dream and is very comfortable to drive. The lumbar feature is wonderful on the back on long drives!

  My Eleventh Mitsubishi Eclipse - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Chanel - November 3 - 11:06 am

  Of all the previous Eclipses I have owned, my 99 Spyder GST was always my favorite, until now. The 06 Eclipse GT drives like a dream. I have it in Liquid Silver (I should have bought black). I am thinking about having it painted Northstar White (the color of my 99 Spyder). I have received more compliments with this car than any other. My vehicle has dealer dark tint, and Mitsubishi sport pinstriping included. So Hot! The iPod in the glove box is HOT! This car has style, is sleek, and five of my friends purchased one within a week of me purchasing mine. This is my second 2006 Eclipse and I love them. BUY ONE!

  2006 Eclipse 6 SPD - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Ken - October 5 - 12:00 am

  I put 135,000 miles on a 1996 Eclipse GST-5 spd. I have waited for years for a satisfactory replacement in terms of performance, looks and being fun to drive. The 2006 Eclipse GT fits! It has so much torque at the low end! I love upshifting at 2,000 RPM, just to feel the incredible torque! VITEC kicks in at about 4,000 RPM. I hit 4,000 RPM so seldom Im always stunned at the extra power. The owners manual states max MPH per gear as 55 (2nd), 80 (3rd), 108 (4th). This is ~6,000 RPM. These are reasonable speeds as HP peaks at 5750 and engine is red lined at 6500. At any speed between 15-100, the drive train is happy in any of 3 gears! Pay very close attention when down shifting though as its easy to get cross the gate and get 3rd instead of 5th, or 2nd instead of 4th.

  Incredibly fun to drive coupe! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By screwy - July 11 - 6:03 pm

  From the first day I got this car until now I have loved driving it and watching heads turn. I have gotten so many compliments my only complaint would be that I cant look at how sexy it looks while sitting inside. It is a little pricey but when you consider those sleek curves and form fitting sporty seats its hardly anything to complain about. I recommend a test drive at night so you can fully appreciate the cool blue lighting within the simple and sporty cockpit. I just took this car on a weekend getaway and it fit both of our dufflebags in the cargo area even with the subwoofer in there. One thing is for sure this is a sporty car which is not meant for long trips yet is packed with thrills!

  Love this car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Lilgabri03 - July 11 - 4:13 pm

  I bought these car about a month ago and I have enjoyed it greatly. I am 22 and right out of college and I was looking for something sporty and nice, but at the same time that wouldnt cost me an arm and a leg.

  Bad Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By cccrop2323 - June 26 - 8:00 pm

  I have had this car for about a year now. At first it was a great car. It has a great look and style. Then it started having problems. The fuel injection wasnt working correctly. At first I though that the warranty would cover the problem, but it ended being caused by a bad tank of fuel. It caused a lot of damage to different parts of the car. It shows the car is not reliable at all. And when I talked with a Mitsubishi rep. she said that the car needs to run a middle grade fuel or premium fuel, otherwise it will have problems again in the future and not be covered by the warranty.

  Another Disappointment on the 4th Generation Eclipse - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By 4gen eclipse - June 14 - 10:26 pm

  The performance is alright, not as good as advertised of course. This car is not comfortable and gets terrible gas mileage with its 3.8L engine. if attention-getting is considered fun, then I suppose driving this uncomfortable 4th generation Eclipse is somewhat ~fun~. This car has tire-chirp, understeer, small rear window (no wiper), blind-spots. The build-quality is just like every other Mitsubishi, poor. I have so much regret for wasting time on waiting for this disappointment. I shouldve gone with either an Infiniti G35 Coupe, or an Acura RSX-S.
