  Sporty & Powerful (V6) - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Ray - December 2 - 5:46 pm

  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.

  Sheep in Wolves Clothing - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Dtone - July 16 - 7:23 am

  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 Susan - January 30 - 1:00 pm

  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.

  2005 Eclipse GTS Coupe - 5 Speed - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Adam - January 6 - 1:53 am

  I am very pleased with my Eclipse. Though, this is the second one Ive owned since 2001. The car extremey fun to drive and not something that becomes burdensome after a short while. The leather seating is comfortable, and the interior is roomy enough for the driver and passenger. I dont consider this car a true "Sports Car" by definition, but I would call it a "Sporty" vehicle. It has enough power and torque to get you where youre going as fast as you want, but dont expect to race your neighbors flashy Nissan 350Z. Mitsubishi has definately upped their build quality since the 90s. This Eclipse feels solid and is extremely reliable. The clutch on the 5-speed models is very forgiving and easy to drive.

  Love my car - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Kim - July 4 - 5:23 pm

  Im a women in my late 40s and this is the first car I ever got to pick out brand new and buy just because I liked it. Ive had it now over two years and I love it. I still smile every time I see it in the driveway. It runs great and is very fun to drive. My only complaint is that shortly after I bought it, I bumped into a pole (too low to see at my sons baseball field) and it creased the bumper. I thought for a hit that light, it should have not shown any damage but it did. So I think the body is not very forgiving. Still wouldnt want anything else, its a fun car.
