2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE V6 - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Speedy_Mitsubishi08 - August 30 - 12:26 amIm only 18 years old a Senior in High School African American and I am loving this car. The way it looks, the way it feels when you drive it, the 650 Watts sound system is great. The back seats may be small but whos to carry around but either your girl/boy friend. Good price for a good sports car. Leather seats are nice. Great acceleration and nice power V6 engine. All In All Love the Performance. I got everyone at after school just looking at when Im going 15-25 Mph just bumping the system and just the way it looks.

Eclipse Design Saved My Teen Driver - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Eppie - December 29 - 4:56 pmMy daughter was in a horrible accident yesterday in her 2008 Eclipse. I bought the car for the safety rating and airbags. She and her passenger flipped end over end 3 times before coming to a rest 50 ft from the highway on the roof of the vehicle. They were going 75 (the speed limit on this hwy). They both walked away with minor scratches. THANK YOU Mitsubishi for your excellent car - it saved my kids life.

Beautiful Vehicle - What a Looker! - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Paul - July 7 - 11:36 amThis is the second Eclipse that I have owned. This one is a true looker! Performance is a big plus. Fair gas mileage. Fun to drive, corners well, 4 cylinder is plenty fast. Excellent sound system, leather seating is a bit stiff but overall comfort is fine. Very quiet interior, which reminds me of a cockpit of a race car! Must know how to drive this vehicle as there are plenty of blind spots. Pricing is modest, the warranty is one of the best out there, period! Not to mention the safety features are incredible, what with 6 air bags and steel- reinforced doors. Overall, what a beautiful vehicle at a very affordable price! Mitsubishi and Toyota are one in the same as far as value vehicles.

What a car! - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By sandy57 - April 9 - 8:03 amI bought the Sunset Pearl GT V6 with terra cotta interior. What a beautiful car! I got every option available and also got the Fosgate speaker package with sub in rear. This car is solid and I get lots of compliments. So far the gas mileage isnt that bad. I am just getting used to the car. Overall this is a great car for the money. It is really fun to drive.

Perfect Sports Car for the Money - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By INDIANA - October 6 - 2:56 pmGreat little car. No complaints. The interior is a lot nicer than the last three Chevys I owned. Limited view when looking over your shoulder, but not a big problem. After all, this is a sports car. Seems to be easy to get in and out of. Well laid out dash and controls. VERY comfortable seating.

Love this car - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Laurie - October 6 - 4:43 amI love the way this car handles. The four cylinder engine performs great and gets good fuel economy. The handling, performance, look and feel of the car give the impression of riding in a high end sports car without the high end price tag.

A Tiger in Disguise - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By ChrisGT - July 2 - 4:46 amLike a Tiger waiting to pounce, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, matches the same poise and agility. Cool and calm, it meanders through traffic, maintaining a firm grip on virtually any surface, but when the moment arises, can leap into the forefront, leaving others wondering ... what was that???? A head turner, its exterior is quite unique to the market, and heralds the same design quality that made the Porsche 911 back in 1962. Interior wise, all the ameneties point to the driver, assuring a comfort level that is always within arms reach. To date, Mitsubishi has remained true to it committment in support of their products. For a re-design, it is quite impressively put together.

Excellent Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Rob - September 14 - 8:40 pmI used to have a 98 Eclipse GS, lasted 11 years so I decided to trade it in for a 08. I have never been happier with my car, its stylish enough for me and affordable, gets good gas mileage in my opinion, and is a smooth ride and yes Ill admit Ive had it at its max 155 on a interstate, it rides very smooth even at that speed. If only it didnt have so much weight in it. 3550 lbs is a lot for a sports car and makes cornering devastating on your tires unless you take them extremely slow. Corning can use some work but even my last Eclipse turned like a Semi-truck so Im used to it. All in all, I love my car and it attracts attention.

Prior owner of 96 Eclipse in love again - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Dorf - August 13 - 6:33 amI love Eclipses! Use to have a 96, and recently an 08 Versa (DULL ride). Just got this 2008 Eclipse GS in Rave Red (beautiful color!). What a difference between the Versa and this car. This car makes driving a THRILL again! Love it!

Best Buy! - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By EclipseOwner - July 24 - 10:36 amI purchased a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with the sportronic transmission. My Eclipse has the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate sound system which is excellent. I have had the car for 3 weeks now and it is an amazing car, it is fast even with the 4 cylinder and gets 31 mpg. It has a surprisingly spacious interior and Im 6 foot 1 so it has a large cabin. The car is very easy to take care of and is a great buy. I used to have a 2006 Eclipse but I was in an accident in April that totalled it. The Eclipse is extremely safe because in my accident I was in a head on collision with a Cadilac Escalade and I was completely safe.
