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.

  Attention getter - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By good to go - December 23 - 11:13 am

  My car prior to this was a 95 Saturn sc so you can imagine the power jump. Since then I have done little things to mod it; intake, headers, and ground effects for a clean look and it has been nothing but easy to work with. Two other buddies and I took it to fl from wi and we averaged 35 mpg, the person in the back had to suffer but it made for a very successful spring break. Now it has about 70,000 and there has not been a problem with it yet! Also I have always owned manuals all of my life and this one has a weird gear set up which makes shifting from 1st gear to second gear hard for a smooth ride but I still have had no complaints haha.

  Drove to the dealership with no intentions of buying a car, but after the test drive there was no way i was leaving that dealership without that car. We sat down and talked the numbers over the price was right and i drove it off the lot.

  Won Me Over - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Rick3 - December 10 - 2:00 am

  I really did like the Eclipse because of the lack of power compared to others in its class. The new GTS changed my perception. The extra 10 horses makes all the difference in the world. The car is fun to drive and the leather interior is much improved over other models. Its very quick off the line and has solid handeling.

  MY ECLIPSE GTS - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By DAVEBROOKE - November 24 - 10:00 am

  I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 03 GTS 5 SPEED AND I LOVE THIS VEHICLE! I WAS DRIVING AN SUV AT THE TIME AND WAS LOOKING FOR SOMTETHING MORE FUN TO DRIVE. ID OWNED SPORTS CARS IN THE PAST AND MISSED THAT FUN FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION IN THAT MARKET, I DETERMINED THIS WAS THE CAR FOR ME! THE RIDE,PERFORMANCE,SHIFTING,AND HANDLING ARE SUPERIOR!

  Car Sucks - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Joebert - October 22 - 2:00 am

  This is the absolute worst car I have ever driven. The transmission will not shift into 1st gear driving over 5 MPH and sometimes not into 2nd gear if over 15 MPH. The dealer said that this is normal for Mitsubishi and that "They do not have the smoothest shifting transmissions out there." Why is it that for the first 6-8 weeks of owning this car did it drive fine? Nobody wants to address this question. I have had it in there a total of 4 times for this issue and the first time they replaced the synchronizers (maybe) and now they tell me, "We replaced them to make the customer happy. I will NEVER buy another car from that dealership.

  Love the looks, but some design flaws - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By andymick32 - October 14 - 4:01 pm

  Bought this car with 60k miles and put 30k miles on the car in 2.5 years before selling. All in all, the car was pretty darn reliable. I didnt have any mechanical issues besides the sun roof which is a known problem. Went to get the car inspected this summer and was told the bottom of the car was rusting out. The mechanic showed me the apple sized hole right underneath the drivers side floorboard and another spot below the gas tank and the fuel filler neck and the trunk lid! The car has some major issues here as certain areas are prone to collect water. Make sure you check these areas before you buy!

  Almost perfect, but I still love it. - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Starla - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I have been able to pull 30mpg+ from it on a couple of trips (I have just over 12k miles on it now), my mileage falls to the mid 20s during my daily commute though. The only problems I have had are the transmission not going into reverse fully occasionally (I have to double clutch it), and some bizarre shaking when it is cool/damp and I am driving it in 1st gear in the morning. Also one time it wouldnt go into gear at a stoplight and then smelled like burning metal and the dealership said it was normal and that something just got ground down and kind of blew me off and said they didnt find anything with that or the shaking that was wrong.
