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 RECENTLY PURCHASED A 03 GTS 5 SPEED AND I LOVE THIS VEHICLE! I WAS DRIVING AN SUV AT THE TIME AND WAS LOOKING FOR SOMTETHING MORE FUN TO DRIVE. ID OWNED SPORTS CARS IN THE PAST AND MISSED THAT FUN FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION IN THAT MARKET, I DETERMINED THIS WAS THE CAR FOR ME! THE RIDE,PERFORMANCE,SHIFTING,AND HANDLING ARE SUPERIOR!

  • Almost perfect, but I still love it. - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I have been able to pull 30mpg+ from it on a couple of trips (I have just over 12k miles on it now), my mileage falls to the mid 20s during my daily commute though. The only problems I have had are the transmission not going into reverse fully occasionally (I have to double clutch it), and some bizarre shaking when it is cool/damp and I am driving it in 1st gear in the morning. Also one time it wouldnt go into gear at a stoplight and then smelled like burning metal and the dealership said it was normal and that something just got ground down and kind of blew me off and said they didnt find anything with that or the shaking that was wrong.

  • Love this Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    Ive had my Eclipse for about a year. I bought this car used with 30,000 miles. I have wanted one of these vehicles for years, and I am loving it. Yes, there are terrible blind spots, but not a problem in you use all three of your mirrors and stay aware of the road. My main complaint is the already mentioned turn radius, which is practically nothing. I would definitely recommend the V6 GTS. I drove a 4-cyl. and it had no pickup, with the weight of this car. My car is totally "zippy" and I have had so many compliments on the looks. I have had absolutely no problems with it, and wouldnt trade it for the world!

  • Fabulous Car, Fully Recommended - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I have wanted a Mitsubishi Eclipse since I was 11 years old believe it or not! When I finally bought my Eclipse GTS in I was ecstatic to find that it was everything I hoped for and then some! It has a beautiful, classy, and sporty look, it drives wonderfully on the freeway and city and it has great get-up-and-go! I mean you can really feel the power behind that pedal! It has a pretty rad stock infinity sound system with a 6 disc changer. It has a very comfortable front seat with leather power seats/windows. And the sunroof is a must have! The only thing I dont like is its turning radius is awful. All in all I love the car, it actually makes me want to drive for no reason, just to drive!

  • GOOD CHOICE - 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Glad I bought it. Excellent pick up and handles smooth. I did take it pass 100 without even knowing it at first. Love the leather interior. My sciatica hasnt acted up yet! The upgraded sound system is great. Cant wait to take a long road trip in this titanium pearl puppy.

    First time buyer and owner of an Eclipse. It fits my lifestyle. I wanted a sporty-look and the interior space available for 3 passengers as I do have a family.
