  • A lot of car for a little less money - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I walked into showroom after seeing the car I wanted, sat down and the Eclipse caught my eye. I had to have fun looking car for little money. I took it for test rive and knew right away it was me. It gets good gas mileage, pretty good giddy up and go for a 4 cylinder. I am very happy and feel like a kid again.

    Bought my Eclipse 3 months ago and love it. Looks like a Ferarri, but more affordable, and easy on the gas. Couldve used a bigger engine for more torque, but is a lot of fun to drive with the 4 cyl. I love this car, best one Ive ever owned and has a great warranty and service agreement. Handles great, and comes flying out of corners like a bat outta hell!

  • My Eclipse & I - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Ive always been a Mitsubishi fan and I really wish they still made the 3000GT- that was one hell of a car. Ive had my Eclipse for less than six months and for a sports car, it survived the winter with no problems. Mitsubishi offers one of the best warranties around, so when youre a broke college student like me, whats not to like about that? :)

  • My dream come true - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    I recently purchased a used 2000 Eclipse GT. I love it. It runs amazing and is the perfect car for me. It is stylish among being very resourceful. I wouldnt own any other car. I am 100% satisfied with its performance this far. It hasnt given me any problems. As far as I can tell it is going to be the best car I own.

  • 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Okay - its only been 2 months but I also own a 2003 Maxima (Which I love) and this car rides BETTER and is more fun to drive! Not as quick but oh so close...Both cars have Goodyear Eagles. Unlike on the Maxima, they are very sticky on GTS- even in the rain. This is a tight car. It gets lots of compliments! Will post review after one year and winter in New York City. I Love this car so far. I intentionally purchased a 2005 model, the 2006 model looks too wierd for me.

  • We Love our Eclipse! - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    We have only had our Eclipse since Feb 2005....so far we love it! We are in our 40s and this car has a way of making you feel 20 years younger. With the sunroof open, and the whole day ahead of us.......we are young again. Our Eclipse is Pearl White, and we put a black bra on the front, I truely think its the sharpest looking car in our city.

  • Great looking car - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse
    By -

    Was looking for a sporty looking (mid- life crises?) car and found it in the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Havent won the Powerball yet, so the Ferrari is still a dream. This car handles well with the rack & pinion steering and though it wont beat a vette off the line, it looks like it could.

  • I love my eclipse - 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse

    I just recently brought a 2005 Eclipse and I love everything about it. There is not another vecile in this class that I would rather have.
