• Bigger engines, intriguing styling, newfound refinement.

• Lots of road noise, low-grade materials, no turbo motor, no all-wheel drive, no ABS on RS and GS.

  Awesome and fun ride!!!!! - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Anna - August 11 - 6:23 am

  This is a wonderful car. I have the GT model and it is wonderful in the snow with the ABS, Front wheel drive and traction control. It is so much fun to drive, especially when teenagers are trying to race you from a complete stop. I have not had one thing go wrong with the car.

  Almost perfect - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By cmartino - October 30 - 9:40 pm

  I have had this car approx. 18 months and it has been a great car. The V6 engine has an incredible power band. No 4 cylinder out there (Honda, Toyota, Nissan) no matter what type of valve tricks they do, can compare to the smooth power delivery of this engine. The only area that the Eclipse could be improved is handling. It handles well, and is tuned to satisfy most, but I would prefer a little more aggressive suspension.

  UNDER RATED CAR - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Mike Pitts - May 17 - 10:00 am

  This car is in one word FUN! And in the small engine import field "Honda/Accura." Stock vrs Stock the Eclipse GT will Dust most of this competition. Its a great open Highway cruise car. It only sits at 3000rpm at 80mph. Unlike the Hondas and Acruras. It has that bigger 6 torque pull. The inside is a tad different, and works. It handles good. In fact it can handle some nice curvy roads prety well. The style of this car is one of it finest points. It looks great. But it defiantly dont look like a bubble car that you see everywhere. And it still looks a tad sleeker than say a Mustang.

  Ive had an overall positive experience with this car. The only problem that Ive experienced is with the power moonroof.... at one point it started to shake while opening, and got progressively worse. I brought it to the dealership to repair it while under warranty, and it was fixed (a bad cable was replaced).

  I have owned 2 Honda products previous to my Eclipse. Ihave found the quality of the Eclipse to equal or better in all areas. The financing and incentives offered by Mitsubishi made this a much more attractive purchase than another Honda. I was able to get much more car for my money with Mitsubishi than Honda. Hondas are excellent cars, but they are far too proud of them and unwilling to deal on the price.

  Good Car but way overpriced new. - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Intellifox - June 8 - 10:00 am

  I cannot complain about performance the car gets me to where I am going has a great sound system and is definitely fun to drive. The original sticker price was about 26,000 dollars which is way out of the market for what it is worth. If you can get it for around 12,000 dollars your getting a good deal. My particular car was built at the Bloomington Illinois facility. I have learned a hard lesson on this car and about purchasing things overpriced. As far as the car itself goes it is reasonable in costs to repair needs little maintenance and is great to drive on the open road.

  I bought my car brand new and so far reliability rating is a 10. Brakes sqeal and always have since I bought the car. Constant problems with sunroof getting stuck and not opening when it does its very jittery. Despite taking it in to dealer several times. Fun car to drive, performance and handling are superb. I get continuous compliments on the sporty appearance.

  The Eclipse GT is a solid "fun-ride". It looks great inside and out. The fuel economy is good. I have had no problems with mine except the drivers window sticking a little in cold weather.
