  • A lot of car for a little less money - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I walked into showroom after seeing the car I wanted, sat down and the Eclipse caught my eye. I had to have fun looking car for little money. I took it for test rive and knew right away it was me. It gets good gas mileage, pretty good giddy up and go for a 4 cylinder. I am very happy and feel like a kid again.

    Bought my Eclipse 3 months ago and love it. Looks like a Ferarri, but more affordable, and easy on the gas. Couldve used a bigger engine for more torque, but is a lot of fun to drive with the 4 cyl. I love this car, best one Ive ever owned and has a great warranty and service agreement. Handles great, and comes flying out of corners like a bat outta hell!

  • My Eclipse & I - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    Ive always been a Mitsubishi fan and I really wish they still made the 3000GT- that was one hell of a car. Ive had my Eclipse for less than six months and for a sports car, it survived the winter with no problems. Mitsubishi offers one of the best warranties around, so when youre a broke college student like me, whats not to like about that? :)

  • Sporty & Powerful (V6) - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    My 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS is fun to drive, especially during warm weather with the sunroof open. It is as powerful as many of the V8s were several years ago. Its price wasnt too bad for a sports car. The cost of insurance is kind of high though.

  • My dream come true - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I recently purchased a used 2000 Eclipse GT. I love it. It runs amazing and is the perfect car for me. It is stylish among being very resourceful. I wouldnt own any other car. I am 100% satisfied with its performance this far. It hasnt given me any problems. As far as I can tell it is going to be the best car I own.

    Had a Galant for two years. Traded it in for the Eclipse. Has the same 2.4l engine as the Galant. Comfortable seats, good gas milage, pleasant handling characteristics, surprising amount of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. Looks sporty, but is more a Mom and Pop 2-door coupe. Sensible Midlife chrisis car for relatively short money.

  • My Mitsubishi - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    This is my first Mitsubishi. It is a 2005 Eclipse. I feel that it handles great, especially on the corners. The ride is smooth. I find it hard to see what is around me though, whether I am trying to change lanes or back out of a parking space. I also have found the stereo system to be one of the worst I have owned in a car. For the price, a better system would have been expected.
