  Great car for the money - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By MEL - January 10 - 1:40 am

  This car is a head turner, fun to drive, has a great sound system, front seats roomy but back seat has no leg room and good trunk room. The GS is peepy for a 4 cylinder, does corners well.

  About as good as it gets - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By EclipseGT01022 - September 5 - 10:16 am

  For performance, comfort and style, there is nothing that compares to the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT in its class. The two other cars that were considered (Acura RSX Type S, Ford Mustang V6), they were either slower or simply offed much less for what their asking price was. For $23,000 (base 6 speed Eclipse GT), you get WELL above average acceleration, gobs of low and mid-range torque, and super fuel economy (85% highway / 15% city nets my Eclipse @ 30MPG!, consistantly). Handling is very secure. The interior is simplistic, yet different with lots of character. Best of all, the quality is excellent inside. Long distance driving is second nature with its Recardo-style bucket seats. Buy it!

  Pure Passion - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By TB Hart - August 20 - 5:53 am

  The exterior style of this vehicle is a stopper, inch for inch, its sleek and impressive lines has on more than I care to count explicit compliments from ladies and strangers on the street. The performance of this machine is so fantastic. When one needs power, there is more than one could hope for in a smaller vehicle. I have an automatic and can burn rubber when I punch it at 25 miles per hour. One minor downside is its blind spot, but the mirrors are well designed to compensate. When one sits in this car and turns on the dynamic sound system, one feels as if one is truly "one" with the vehicle. I love driving on winding, country roads..this baby hugs the pavement.

  Head Turner - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By D Storm - April 15 - 1:26 pm

  The first thing I can say is while sitting at a red light in my new Eclipse a guy in a new Corvette pulled up beside me, is all smiles and says hey nice car! The new styling is great. The power that the GS 5M delivers is incredible for a 4-cylinder. So they have it governed at a top speed of around 122 mph! It handles incredibly; the purr of the exhaust can be heard throughout your drive. If you love to drive and love to have a little bit of attention I recommend buying it.

  I Love This Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Lauren - March 16 - 9:56 am

  The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is so much fun. When I first bought it I drove everywhere just for the sake of driving. I would find things to do just to get back into this car. It makes driving a wonderful experience that you wont want to end. Highway driving is the best, with terrific handling and controlled speed this car can do almost anything. It definitely is a winner.

  Good Driving Car! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By JPudas71 - March 14 - 6:10 pm

  The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a good driving car for someone like me that has a 80+ miles a day to work. It gets really good gas milage, which is good now that gas is so expensive. The looks I get are great and the car is so cute and stylish. My kids think its a race car.

  The new Eclipse - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By pcmacbob - March 11 - 5:10 pm

  I just purcased a new Eclipse and have fell in love with it with one exception. The radio is suppose to play mp3 CDs (which it does) but after creating a few of them and inserting them into the 6 CD changer and trying to eject them all of a sudden one wont eject and know the cd unit wont even play anything. I looked in the manual to see if there is a way to manually eject the cd, but it says that you need to take it to the dealer. This might and probably will be a problem for buyers of the Rockford system. I did not see anywhere in the manual what CD manufacturer you should use for the stereo. My first tank I got 25 mpg. I have the 4 speed auto and love it also.

  Sweet Ride! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By eclipse6racer - November 19 - 2:56 am

  First off, the obvious about this car...it looks sweet, it handles great, its fast ,and has a cool interior design especially with the glowing blue leds. What this car is not is a four seater, nor a three seater as the back has absolutely no room. Im 62" and most of my friends are tall as well. But hey, why buy a sports car if you have a family? Go get yourself a minivan in that case! Anyways, its a very sweet ride and it is fast. I love it,and if you love the sound of a race car, and I dont mean just change the damn muffler, throw a magnaflow exhaust on minus the resonator and second cat and it sounds better than any of those Fast and Furious rides from the movie yummy!
