  2002 Silver Eclipse GS 2002 - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jenna - December 24 - 10:00 am

  I love my 2002 Eclipse GS. I love the new body style of the Eclipse because the back seat is bigger and the trunk is a little bigger. My Eclipse has the new sportronic transmission and it is awesome! This car drives so smooth and it hugs the road GREAT! IT also gets great fuel acconomy. The only problem i have had with my car was the clips that hold the trunk cover on breaking and making noise.

  My GS - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By SBH - May 2 - 10:00 am

  The sticker said 22/30 MPG. I get 29 around town and around 35 MPG on long trips. That combined with a 16 gallon tank makes for long legs. This car has a great ride on long trips. Very smooth. You have to gas it a little more from the stoplight when the AC is running but that is to be expected with a 2.4L. However, the power band is rather surprising in 2nd and 3rd in between 2,000 and 3,000 RPM.

  2001 Eclipse GT - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jason - October 4 - 9:26 am

  Bought this car when I joined the Air Force and it has been very reliable. I have driving across country three times and have never had a problem. The only down fall is that the car takes premium fuel only and it costs me 50 dollars to fill up. Was very easy to find performance parts for, and the car handles them very well.

  HOT ROD TO GO! - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By beatles4ever - December 7 - 3:06 am

  This is my second red Eclipse. I originally purchased one in 1996,and had no problems. My 2001 GT is even better looking than my first! I am in my 50s, but feel like a teenager all over again in this sporty car. The car still turns peoples heads, and everyone assumes its a high dollar auto! Four years later, and everyone still asks, "Is your car new???"

  2001 5-spd GT....gotta love it!!! - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Pamela63 - October 30 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Eclipse for just over two years now and wouldnt trade it for anything. It is sporty , dependable AND fun. No problems whatsoever with this car. Test drove about every other sportscar in its comparable price range before deciding on the Eclipse. Nothing else came close. Smooth handling/ride, no shimmy, no shakes.

  Fun, But Needs A Little More - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Cat - September 27 - 6:40 pm

  I love my girl, but she just doesnt have as much "Giddy-Up And GO" (until about 45 mph)as I would prefer. I read some other reviews that said the rear spoiler and small back window make it impossible to back up. WRONG! The window is HUGE, and Ive never had a problem backing out in almost 2 years. She HUGS curves, and its easy to make the tires squeal if you pull the wheel a little to one way (XD), even in the automatic. Sportronic is a MUST! SO FUN! Gas mileage is decent. The car just like great stock, and really shines with a few simple tweaks (darker tinting makes a bigger difference than you think!!!)

  Excellent Car to Last a Long Time - 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By mitsubishi eclipse - April 23 - 8:33 am

  I have had zero problems with my 01 Eclipse, with exception of parts wearing out. It handles well and has great acceleration even after 100,000 miles. I am very pleased with the car. It was great as a first car and i will definitely keep it until it dies.
