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:

  • Well worth the moolah - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    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.

    My 03 has 150K miles, purchased new in 02. Replaced front struts within 2 months. Have replaced the brake pads and rotors 4 times. The brakes start pulsating after 3500 - 4500 miles. Also, 3 heat shields have rusted off, 1 of them within a years time. Dealership advised me not park on dry grass. Sunroof sticks. Rusty inside engine compartment.

    This car is wonderful. I traded in my Acura Integra for this car and there is a huge difference. My eclipse is much smoother to drive than the Acura. There is also a very noticable difference in power, and I love it!

  • Stylen in a Mitsu - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    It has an attention grabbing style, excellent performance in the kind of city driving that I have to do. Great gas mileage, especially on the road when travelling. (24-28 mpg) I am impressed with the service you get from the Mitsubishi dealership, not pretentious but very attentive. As if this is not enough, it is affordably priced both for the car and the servicing! You can pay a lot more and not get as much of a car.

  • Most fun I ever had - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    When I was buying my car it was between the RSX and my GT that I got. Im so glad I got the Eclipse GT. I have a 5-speed manual and I love opening that door every morning and sitting in the drivers seat. The ride is a thrill and the engine roars as you take off.
