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 GS Review - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By rasonjason92 - November 6 - 12:20 amThe design and overall performance of this car are outstanding. However the craftsmanship is a little lacking. With in two weeks of my purchase the passenger side door started to rust, and now the dashpad has started to bubble a little. But overall I am happy with my purchase.

FUN FUN FUN!!! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By 300c_kid - June 9 - 8:06 pmI love my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT! What a FUN car! I traded in my old Eclipse for the new one. I love the engine and way it sounds. The manual transmission is a joy. The suspension handles excellently and absorbs bumps. The car is finished immaculately inside and out. Mitsubishi used great materials. I recommend it to all my friends. It feels like such a much more expensive car! It should have AWD, but one gets used to the FWD configuration. Its gas mileage is pretty good. I got the V6 with a manual transmission and am getting around 20 mpg driving it hard! I love the sound of the engine...I hardly ever turn on the radio. I have no complaints at all. I am estremely happy with my Eclipse!

I Love My Eclipse - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By tomickey - January 13 - 8:10 pmI had my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS for about three months now and I love it! Every time I look at it I just have to smile. The drive is tight and it just cruises down the road. I couldnt ask for a better ride. I wasnt looking to buy a car right now, but when I saw the 06 Eclipse I just had to get it. Everyone one in my family wants to try and steal it. People stop me all the time to say "Nice Car!" people call it my Porshe but cheaper. The interior is nice and who cares about the back seat its just me and my car. The radio system is nice even for the basic model. The visability is fine, that is something I expected in a sports car I had a hard time finding my car in a 5-speed and blue.

Quite a decent car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Erik - December 7 - 1:23 pmThe new Mitsubishi Eclipse is a hit. The four cylinder loves to rev, has adequate performance. I have 15k on the car on everything is great on it. Everybody loves my car. People think it is nice. The quality of the interior is fairly good. The optional Rockford Fosgate system booms with sound. The ride is comfortable. The steering is nicely weighted. But I hope you dont plan on using that back seat. Only children or small toddlers can tolerate it. Im over six foot, trust me, youll go nuts in the back seat. When it comes to cargo time, this car aint too bad. I hauled a new boxed computer in it and monitor and it fit just right. The car in my opinion is a car that is a looker.

Fun and Fast - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Mike Soffer - November 21 - 7:46 pmI have put about 4,500 miles on the car. The slap stick is great and its nice to just slip into drive when in heavy traffic. The car is great except for the "back seat" it is just for show or to punish your kids. Its handling is excellent. Its steering is very quick. This is a sports car for Dad. I have found that the car runs best on 93 gas.

Hot Car...Equals Hot Chicks! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Moe - September 26 - 11:16 pmThe 06 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a great car, I just picked her up on Friday (7/14). Its been nothing but fun. I get great compliments from random people. The car is really quick. Also, its an official chick magnet. If you want to be the guy/girl that wants to stand out on the road, this is the way to go!

I love this car! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By ink - September 5 - 5:46 amI bought this car in 2006 straight off the truck (literally). Im one of about 5 people in a 50 mile radius that even owns a 4G Eclipse, there is no torque steer if you dont floor it from a dead stop. Handling issues are pretty much B.S., I took a turn going 60 mph with no problems haha, and I can go through curves at 75 mph, so whatever. Noisey exhaust? haha its an import - hello!!!!

WOW! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Adam - August 28 - 6:10 amFor the price, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is the best car out there. It has an awesome warranty, looks at least $10,000 expensive more than it is. A dude at the gas station looked shocked when he asked about the price and I said that I got it for around $20,000. This car is nice and fast. It is one of the best looking cars out on the road. It provides great comfort for front passengers, but the rear seats are just for show (thats why its not a 10). It has a good sized trunk for lugging around my hockey equipment. Mine is the awesome new color of pearlescent orange (think metallic orange that looks red at night and bright orange in sunlight)

Practically Perfect - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By drc - August 17 - 8:06 pmI have had three other Eclipses - a 1992, which I traded after a few months for an identical model that was turbocharged, and then a 2000 Eclipse GT. This one is obviously the best of the bunch. Every feature, from the radio to the door locks to the dash to the seats to the glove box - everything - is better than the previous model, and I liked my 2000 very much. I can say that I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with any of my Eclipses. I drove the last one over five years and only changed the oil and the tires. They have been totally problem free. I cross shopped this with the Nissan 350Z - too many tire problems, and the Chrylser Crossfire - which I decided was too small.
