This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • Sexy and Fun car - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    This car is great. I had an older Eclipse and I thought maybe it was time for a change. I test drove the RSX Type S, the Celica GTS and the Mazada 6. But I didnt like either of them. So I test drove a GTS Eclipse and I fell in love with it. Its very nice outside and inside. The black leather in the car gives a sexy look.Bottom line go test drive the car and youll like it.

  • Too awesome... - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I got my license a few months ago, was looking on a used car dealership website, and found a silver Eclipse. So I told my dad about it, and got out of school one day to find it sitting where I usually park my moms car at school. Big surprise. Ive been driving it for only about 2 1/2 months now, but every second has been amazing. My friends tell me how good it looks, and how good it sounds for a 4-cyl. I love it, and you know its gotta be a reliable car when a 16 year old drives it. Teenagers drive like were blind, but this car never lets me down. Definitely recommend. 9/10

  • Great Snow Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I bought this car brand new and the performance in the snow has been amazing! The performance on dry land has been great too! I traveled during a blizzard and passed a lot of 4x4s in the median because their high center-of gravity made their big fat tires useless. Another experience was on black ice and out of eight of us, I was the only one that didnt rollover when the nightmare was over. This is a PERFECT CAR! The leather interior has held up perfectly! I truly cannot think of anything to complain about.

    I love driving the car around the coastline and up the mountains. Its a fun car for California. Sporty with excellent pick-up when passing.

  • The greatest thing since Snickers! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    In my personal opinion this vehicle is very SWEET! it handles like a dream, it has enormous power for a 6-cylander, the body style looks aggressive enough to scare down a stock car. The interior is one of a kind with its technical style. As far as mileage per gallon its great for a 6. Overall this car is extraordinary!

  • Fun to Drive! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I bought my Eclipse from a private seller in Aug 2012 with 119, 990 miles on it which turned to 120,000 on the way home. The guy didnt tell me all of the problems that came with it but that was expected. The car was over 100k and obviously needed some repairs due to its age. They were all minor fixes that were neglected. Throughout the couple months of fixing these things the car ran very well. I have never been stuck on the side of the road! I love that it came with the power shift for accelerating even with a 4-cyl. With regular maintenance this car can go for 200k+ miles!

  • The Best Coupe <$30,000 for Snowy Areas - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Id love a BMW Z4, Honda S2000, or Nissan 350Z, but since I live in a snowy, hilly region (and I have to get to work no matter the weather), the Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS has been a great choice. Ive owned it for almost 5 trouble-free years now, and have loved it. It got me up a steeeeeep, winding, thickly-snowed & untreated hill last winter (passing other, struggling cars), and on nice dry days it has plenty of muscle beneath the pedal when I need it (although the torque-steer took some getting used to). This car is also perfect for short people (like me): the "butt" part allows quite a bit of vertical movement, so you can sit much higher than in other sporty cars.
