Overview & Reviews

A new higher-performance Mitsubishi Eclipse joins the lineup for 2003. Dubbed the GTS, its 3.0-liter V6 has 10 more horses than the same engine found under the hood of the GT, and a number of luxury features justify its standing as the top Eclipse. A new front fascia along with revised front and rear light clusters round out the changes.

• Distinctive styling, plenty of standard equipment, V6 power in GT and GTS trim.

  BEST SPORTS CAR EVER - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By PROMAR - May 12 - 2:00 am

  Im very happy to say that i bought a mitsubishi eclipse.This vechicle not only rides and drives well but it makes you feel like your in a rocket. It has ample power to all wheels and very responsive engine with torque. I love my car and it will smoke the competation such as the toyota celica and acura rsx. 4 cylinder sports cars just doesnt cut it.

  Some Trouble, but Overall Happiness - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Eric - May 3 - 2:46 am

  I love the car - the way it drives and looks, but a few problems are souring me. Water immediately got in the doors during rain and caused a moldy smell. Now the power windows are failing at 90,000 miles. The A/C went out at 80,000 miles. The brakes are of moderate quality and durability. The window tint started peeling within 50,000 miles. The hatchback is tough to open and wont stay up in cold weather. The interior poorly designed - I reach too far for many things. The plastic interior takes a beating. The plastic hooks for the floor mats break easily. Also, the blind spot is a major issue and the A/C (when working) saps much engine power. On small bumps, I bottom out the nose. But man, at 60 mph, the acceleration is great.

  My fun car - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By kay juneau - April 4 - 8:26 pm

  I loved my car. IT has been excellent but one thing I dont like is the whole dash cracked on it other than that I would not give nothing for my car ever. I like my eclipse so much I kept it and bought myself another one, a 2007. I hope that I will enjoy it as much as my 2003 I still have.

  Good combination of sport and luxury - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Obi-Wan - February 16 - 2:00 am

  Looked at the Acura RSX, Toyota Celica, and Hyundai Tibutron. The Tiburon was quite a value, but build quality was noticebly cheaper, and resale poor. Celica and RSX were nice, but somewhat plain, and the RSX had to be revved between 7-8K rpm to get the last 40 hp out of the 200 hp engine. Eclipse is longer and heavier, but much more comfortable for front seat passengers, especially on longer drives. 210 HP is readily available at all speeds, and 5 spd manual is sporty enough for mountain roads. So its not "fast and furious" but it is sport luxury without having to rev like a formula 1 racer.

  Still lovin it - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Bobbi - January 26 - 9:33 pm

  I have a 95 BMW 325is and I think this car is more fun to drive. Its comfortable, sporty. I drive like a bat outta hell (75-80 mph, highway) and I still get 25 mpg. Love the body style too! I would highly recommend it.

  Fun but comfortable. - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By rmob - January 4 - 2:00 am

  The GS is probably the best deal at around 19K plus change. I got mine with the sun roof and the upgraded Infinty CD and it was worth it. (They also upgrade the wheels with the package) I drives and handles well but dont expect to get whiplash. Overall I am very happy and would recommend it. Other than the bucket seats, the interior leaves a little to be desired.

  WassuP! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By MrX - December 19 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the most fun and reliable car I ever owned. I didnt think I would have bought the car until I test drove it. Once I test drove the car I knew I had to buy it. What a great investment. Two words... Test Drive!

  Exceptional value for the money. Awesome - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By wingedliberty - December 13 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. I am somewhat biased, since this is my fourth Mitsubishi and I am very brand loyal, and this is for a reason, since these are great cars for the money in styling, performance,and reliability. I like to stick with a good thing, and this is a great car.

  190,000 Miles and Still Going Strong - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By guitar_guy - December 5 - 5:34 pm

  I bought this car new in 2004. It was February, and the salesman was discouraged as he walked me to the lot, and the car was under a pile of snow. He said all he had was a 4 cylinder with standard transmission... I didnt let on, but thats EXACTLY what I wanted. The car has been a dream to own. I have performed regular maintenance with my own mechanics. I never went back to the dealer, and never needed to. Oil changes every 3000, and regular timing belt changes were the bulk of maintenance. Also plugs every 60k. I replaced two tie rods, and recently an axle (after 189,000). Two sets of brake pads. Thats about it. I love this car, and I dont want to part with it.

  Good, solid car & looks and drives great - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By TonyM - November 30 - 7:03 am

  I just got the GTS, 5-speed about 2 months ago. A little late maybe. But its what I could afford. I think this car is very solid and runs great. As long as you keep up on your oil changes, and put premium in it like the owners manual suggests. The first thing I noticed because I immediately drove it on the highway was it takes a while to find a comfortable adjustment on your seat in conjunction with using the clutch as well as sitting for prolonged periods of times. My back hurt for about a week in beginning to drive it. Its fast though, for sure. This car packs a punch! I havent had it long enough to really even encounter mechanical problems... *knock on wood*.
