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.

  Dont hesitate on this one.... - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By NoMore Fords - June 16 - 10:00 am

  I traded my POS 01 Mustang GT in for this car after Ford refused to fix my transmission with 6800 mi. This car is great. Refined, elegant, and sporty. The GTSs variable induction V6 is strong and with the tranny in sport mode the acceleration is felt. The car feels slow sometimes because the engine is so smooth and quiet but then you realize you are doing 85 or 90mph. Noticed some vibration at the steering wheel when at speed, some torque steer, a rattle on the passenger side and the passenger seat shakes some. I will have the dealership look into these. Other than that great car.

  Mini-Ferrari - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By tachyon1701 - May 29 - 10:00 am

  Lets be honest here, this car is definately a looker. Its especially popular with the ladies for some reason, which i dont mind at all =). Its visual presence is 2nd to none in a $10,000US range. Althought mine is only a I4, i gotta tell you, it is a BIG 4 cylinder engine. 2.4 liters with a 100m stroke pushes out quite a bit of torque, although HP/L ratio leaves something to be desired. Speaking of gas, it can go more than 700KM on a 62Litre tank. Not too bad for such a big 4 cyl! RSXs and Celica GTs do a little better but thats on a 2.0 and 1.8 WITH variable valve timing!

  maybe mine is a lemon? - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By torielynn - May 5 - 7:18 am

  I have had this eclipse for a year now and not a month goes by with out me having to fix something. This is my second Eclipse I had a 99 RS model before this and i loved it! it was my first car and it lasted for 210,000 miles. However this Eclipse is terrible in comparison. it sounds like a diesel truck and no one can tell me why, my seat belts stopped working, i had to replace my o2 and knock sensor, water pump, thermostat twice, it vibrates like crazy and it just hit 100,000 miles. when i got my old eclipse it alredy had 111,000 on it and i never had these problems. if you want an eclipse go with an older model because the 03 sucks.

  Great car, but some annoyance - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Erik Harris - March 18 - 10:00 am

  I love my GTS, but it suffers from build-quality issues. The window seals dont seal (wet windows after rain, sometimes moldy smell), there are unfixable rattles, the mirror motors are weak, and the sunroof has minor issues (sticks, control housing comes loose periodically). Reliability hasnt been an isuse at all, it drives very smoothly, and is very fun to drive. My only complaint about the ride is that the turn radius is horrendus; worse than the minivan I owned previously! Im focusing on the negative, though. I love my car, and for the price, theres nothing Id rather own. Its fun, comfortable, and is one of the best-looking cars under $30K on the road.

  Affordable Fun - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By mrdurbin - February 28 - 10:00 am

  i wanted a fun car and the Eclipse is it. I opted for the GTS because of the ABS and 10 extra HP. The Eclipse is one of the easiest cars to tune next to a Honda Civic but you get around 40 to 60 more Hp from the Eclipse compared to the honda for just a bit more money. I have a AEM cold air intake and a Magnaflow exhaust, Upgraded wire kit and wire ground kit. That is all you need to do to these cars to make them scream. for about 600.00 in after market mods i gained a conservative 20 - 25% HP easily. i also upgraded my tires and rims and went with 19X8 ASA 5 spoke rims and Yokahama Parada Spec 2 tires.

  Stay Away - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By MinderaserNO - February 22 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 03 GTS Eclipse for a about a year and a half. It has been in the shop 4 times... once they had my car for over 2 WEEKS! Everything that could go wrong with this car - has. Stay away.
