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:

    I bought my 03 Eclipse GS in august of 2002, and i love it. It is sooo much fun to drive, and i get lots of looks while on the road. I would recommend it to anyone, and it is one of the best cars I have ever owned.

    This is a fun car to drive and yes like others have said everyone wants to race you at red lights. The cup holders do suck! I shouldve got the manual trans but I like the auto stick. I dont use the auto much because it overshifts too much....you could be going 35mph and its in 4th gear. Overall its fun to drive and the speed does creep up on you. Sound system is really nice and love the six disc changer in the dash.

    An outsatnding value... bought it for $20,400 and worth every penny. It has plenty of giddyup, corners extremely well and has the best body style of any car in its class. I drive 110 miles (round trip) to work each day and this car makes the trip enjoyable. Caution.... everyone wants to race you at every red light... and the car can creep up in speed without you noticing...

  • Never recd this many complements - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I bought this vehicle partially based on the rather negative review by the Edmunds staff. Basically the stuff they didnt like is what drew me to the vehicle. We dont do much "canyon carving" in Michigan. My dealer had to go to Ohio to find a bright red GT for me, but it was well worth the wait as Ive never had a new car that received more raves from the onlookers. I do miss the 40 miles per gallon that our 98 Eclipse achieved, but that was a 4 cylinder.

  • Well worth the moolah - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I have had nothing but fun in my 2003 silver GT since I picked it up over a year ago. The handling is nice and the comfort is incredible. I did a little shopping around and I knew when I test drove the Eclipse that that is what I wanted in a car. Everyone Ive spoken to likes the way it looks and the way it performs, including me, of course. It doesnt do too bad in the snow either. Winters in New England can be horrible, but the V-6 handles decently and has never been stuck in the snow.

    This car is fun to drive, so far very reliable, and looks great! The stereo is awesome for stock! I get about 32 MPG and do mostly highway driving. I do need to be careful, as the car likes to creep up in speed. It corners very well.
