  Great Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Erika - February 13 - 10:00 am

  I have had my car for three years and I still love it. I really enjoy driving it. I feel very safe in this car, unlike a few other cars that I test drove. I have had no maitenance work done on it, just the regular oil changes and tire rotations, and it is still performing great.

  By Chuck - October 24 - 1:16 am

  Ive owned this car for over two years now and its given me nothing but fun, reliable, stylish transportation! I get around 25 mpg and the car has given me zero reliability problems. It receives many compliments and the driving experience is so sweet, that when you arrive to your destination you hate to park the car! Its just that fun to drive!

  I love this car!!! - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jstagirl - July 2 - 2:00 am

  I have had my RS Eclipse about one and a half years and still love it. I was sold on the car from the moment i test drove it. It handles great, looks sharp and gets great mileage. My husband loves it as much as I do. We take turns driving it around town.

  Best car in the world... on a dry road - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By thehouseattheend - April 2 - 12:23 pm

  I absolutely loved my eclipse. I bought it brand new in June 2001. I have over 217,000 miles on it. Last summer I had to replace half an axle. The radio stopped coming in and the a/c stopped working at about 90,000. But nothing else major and I am rough on my vehicles. I hear if you put weight in the back it handles better in the snow. I recently crashed it. I am having a hard time finding another vehicle. I might just buy another eclipse. It is very comfortable to drive. I am 511" and not a stick girl either. Be careful with the black paint. It discolors and peels off and the dealers wont deal with it.

  BEST LIL SPORTSCAR EVER! - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By BELINDAK - March 2 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive!! Comfortable for travel!! I have never enjoyed any other car as much as this one. My first Mitsubishi and it definitely will not be my last one. Extremely courteous sales and service staff have helped make my Mitsubishi experience a very pleasant one. Car handles like a dream and has required very little maintenance.

  Great Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Krondor - December 7 - 10:00 am

  This is an awsome car. There is very little more you could want, except maybe the AWD and Turbo offered in years past.

  Good style and reliable - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By J - July 27 - 8:53 pm

  Have had the car for going on 7 yrs and still love it. No real issues with the car (only the timing belts which were expensive). Brakes lasted 60K, still original clutch, leather still looks great (garage kept). Still performs great. I have been very happy with this car. I have read some of the other reviews and have had none of the issues mentioned in the negative reviews. Only criticisms I can agree with is the small turn radius (though not as big deal as some make it) and the hatch channels water into the edges of the trunk space when it is raining (only if you open the hatch all the way though). I have had every Eclipse except the newest body style and have been the happiest with this one.

  Owesome interior - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Osman Aviles - May 4 - 10:00 am

  2 and 1/2 years ago I was amazed with the looks of the car outside but it was even better when I saw the interior of the car, it is and unusual dash it is not square looking it was a little round it felt like a spaceship, the only concern about it is after a while you feel that the car has lost its power and you have to constantly do tune ups, specially alignments.
