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.

  Good, but not great - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Zakko - October 31 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for over a year now. I didnt buy this car to race it and my driving style is actually pretty conservative. Problems Ive had in the past year: Clutch was completely replaced at 14,000 miles at MY expense; the sunroof is CRAP, it has a mind of its own and will open and close depending on its mood; the factory tires are CRAP... I had to have mine replaced at 12,000 miles because two of them had large bubbles in the sidewalls; the brakes are crap. At 10,000 miles, I had to have the rotors turned. If youre considering buying this car, I HIGHLY recommend you go to www.neweclipse.org and www.deadeclipse.com to read up on it.

  My Titanium Dream! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By missa122584 - September 24 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my car on April 30th 2003. I had many problems with the dealership in finalizing the purchase but when I finally got my car it was suddenly all worth it! I have had no problems with it so far (knock on wood). Everyone I know absolutly adores it! The only complaint I have got is from my basketball playing friends, "there is not enough head & leg room in the backseat"!

  exciting drive - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By schumacher - August 18 - 2:00 am

  my mitsu is titanium w/sunroof and infinity sound which i find to be ok. i get lots of stares because this car just plain looks bad ass. and it is if you can handle a clutch and shifter in a racer fashion . i can rip a 7 second 0-60 and 15.2 1/4 mile. however i wish mitsu would have distanced itself from other cars of this type by offering a 230 hp, 235 lb.ft torque engine. it would have been the smart thing to do in order to draw people away from competitors such as acura and toyota.

  DONT BUY IT!!!! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By RichardK84 - August 6 - 10:00 am

  In March of 03 I bought a new Eclipse GTS coupe. After the fact, I come to find that the delership screwed me on my purchase order and incresed my intrest rate by over 2 points. This is a common practice however the rate I was quoted then got the 2 point hold tacked on after the contract negotiation. As far as the vehicle is concerned, the doors consistently sag I have had them adjusted 3 times, the service engine light continually comes on even though I have it maintained my Mitsus service schedule. The vehicle is a horrible choice considering Ive had it 5 months and it is worth LESS THAN 50% of what I payed for it. If you are intrigued by this vehicle think twice.

  Mixed bag - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By PTS - July 15 - 2:10 am

  I bought mine in 2003. I was torn between the Eclipse GT and the Acura RSX Type S. I chose the Eclipse because money was an issue as I was fresh out of college and Mitsubishi was offering zero payments for a year and a lower APR than Acura thereafter. Plus the RSX was in its first run while this model of Eclipse was in its second. I figured Mitsubishi would have worked out some kinks by the second generation of that model. Overall I have been pretty pleased by the performance and mechanical build of the engine and drivetrain. I have issues however with the shoddy plastic quality of the dash, doors, trunk lining, etc. The interior is a synch to scratch with keys, luggage & other cargo.

  Unhappy consumer - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Unhappy comsumer - March 12 - 10:00 am

  Not long after I purchased the vehicle, I noticed that 5th gear, my window, my brakes, and my a/c were giving me problems. I took my car back to the dealer where they repaired fifth gear, my window, and attempted to eliminate the awful smell from the a/c. After receiving my car back, 2nd gear began to grind and I noticed my cigarette lighter was defective. So I returned the car to again have them work with the transmission, to clean the a/c, and replace the cigarette lighter. The dealer repaired the a/c, the lighter, but said they could not confirm the problem with 2nd gear. Ive now been back 2 more times and am currently seeking an attorney.

  Powerful, comfortable, and reliable! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By GT OWNER - February 3 - 10:00 am

  I was trying to decide between this car and the Acura RSX (not the Type S). But for the same price, I felt I got a little more style, 40 additional horses, a wider selection in color and a reliable car that I can trust as much as the Acura.
