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.

  Fun - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Patricia Gaul - October 28 - 10:00 am

  I have never owned a sports car before, so it is hard to compare. I love the way it looks, though. It is not a family car so you cant criticize the small back seat. It handles very well and has lots of pick up for a 4 cyl. The gas mileage is also impressive.

  Best Bang for your Buck - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Speedyvonquick - October 15 - 2:00 am

  A well rounded performer thats great looking, put together well, and fun to drive. Just purchased this weekend & got a great deal. Check out www.carsdirect.com before you buy ANY car and save big money! Their quote was $2,000 under what the dealership was quoting. I got the sun & sound package with leather. Leather is a must in this car as the fabric seats are very spongy and soft. Ill write another review after Ive put some miles on it.

  Fast and Fun - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Paul in Massachusett - September 28 - 10:00 am

  The body design is outstanding. Its a future classic. The 6 cylinder 5 speed manual has a lot of get up and go. For the price, it beats the competition hands down. Just be ready for everyone that pulls up next to you at a light. They all want to race you.

  Better than expected gas mileage - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By IowaWinters - September 11 - 10:03 pm

  Other than maintenance items this car has been super reliable. It sits low to the ground but still got around in 7.5 inches of snow this winter. Granted I have pretty new tires on it! Stock brake rotors are crap - invest in some nice aftermarket ones. I put on drilled and slotted rotors and can stop on a dime! This summer I think Ill figure out why the A/C drips on my foot. Have heard the A/C vent tube can get clogged on these. Got 114,500 miles on it now and hope to get at least 200,000 out of it!

  Awsome - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By heyu415 - August 23 - 10:00 am

  I love my eclipse and as the owner of three generations of eclipse this one is the best one of all. I didnt think I would own another eclipse since Ive owned 2 other previous eclipses. (92 & 97) both of which I had over 150,000 miles without any problems. Of all the sports car Ive test drove this new eclipse had the best of everything. Power, handling, comfort and reliability. I have 62,000 miles on it now and have had no problems at all. I only chnage my oil once every 10,000 miles not the usual 3-5,000 miles. Thats why I love it..Low maintanence! My one advice...Just test drive it and youll know what im talking about.

  I love my Eclipse - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jezababy - August 17 - 10:00 am

  Ive always wanted an Eclipse. I fell in love with the body style from 1997, and I like the new body style just as much. I treated myself to a brand new GTS as soon as I graduated college this year, and I love it!

  Not bad but parts can be expensive - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By capitan_ed - August 6 - 2:42 pm

  The overall car isnt bad. I got the car used from a dealed about 7 years ago and put 90k miles of my own for a total of 150k (actual mileage). I gave all it maintenance and regular oil changes. The engine is not as strong as I would like to. I had to reapir it and change multiple valves, gaskets and resolve loss of pressure inside the engine. I live in CA and the smog regulations are strict here I had to get rid off the car for not passing the smog check because the catalytic converter worth more than the car itself. Not for tall people defenitly!

  Update from 06/27/2003 - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By 3000v6 - July 23 - 11:03 am

  Eclipse GTS 5-speed/man. This is an updated from my last post, (06/27/2003). Current miles 48k. So far so good. No major problems to report. Have not repaired or fixed anything on the car expect, normal secluded maintenance. From time to time this car is driven hard. Few burn outs, head to head speed race, ect... Lastly, this is not a perfect car nor is it the worst car. My Final score is 85%

  Great used car over100K - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By The 3g Man - July 11 - 9:10 pm

  2003 Mitsubishi eclipse Gt, v6, Sportronic shifter. Great Exterior look, except the fake vents in the front.v6 engine good power for automatic shifty, not good for turbo boosting.Alloy wheels great touch and clean. Inside, Cheap plastic interior (which is good If you ever need to replace it). I like it. No leg room for people over 511. Very small in the back, good for newborns- preteens and adults, no. Seats are very comfortable for long driving. Gas mileage is good, 22 ct/27 Hw. $30 to fill. Slow start@shifting through 1st gear but gets better at 2nd. Expensive 6 cyl tuneup ($550). Timing belt+labor $640. Maintenance regular. Premium gas only. Mits is having a recall, dont get black.
