- Weak performance with four-cylinder, torque steer with V6, heavy for a sport coupe, big turning circle, small backseat.

Sleek, Fun & Fast - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By JC Frenzy - December 4 - 12:03 pmOverall, the Eclipse is a nice sports car with some punch. I have the V6 GT SE, so mine has a few more bells & whistles than most. Its a fun ride, not great in the snow, but not a death trap either. I threw an intake on it to give it a bit more oomph and a nice engine sound. With a few mods this will be a beast. Stock, its definitely a solid buy.

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.

Traction questions on 08 Eclipse - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By carnut - March 15 - 9:50 pmI have owned my Eclipse gs for about four months now with about 4,000 miles on it and found it to be fun to drive, good acceleration and a great sound system but I am noticing that in wet weather the car loses traction around curves and slides and wonder what it will be like in winter driving with snow and ice other than that the car is pretty nice.

Likes & Dislikes Eclipse 08 2.4 auto - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By mamiya - February 16 - 12:36 am500 miles so far, like looks, handling, fosgate sound, tires, int looks, DISLIKE noisy engine and interior like theres no sound dampening, maybe thats why they offer the 650 watt stereo! Hate the fact that if you get a flat you cant use flatfix, it will screw up the tire sensors!, and the key thing with the electronic code, its like they want you to call for help!

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.

Fanciful, Fast, and Fun - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Campoly - July 13 - 12:16 pmLooked at many competitors in this price range (Sky, GTI, Speed3, M-X5, etc.). All were nice cars if you are 54 and weigh 98 pounds. At 61" I found the Eclipse the easiest to get in and out of. The exterior styling of this cars is sleek and sexy. Back seat room is non existent but honestly, who really cares. Seats are comfortable enough. The non turbo V6 is strong with lots of torque and surprising little torque steer which makes for lots of acceleration fun. It doesnt have road rally/oval track curve hugging ability that the Evo or Vette has but for everyday around town and nimble freeway driving it is great fun and hard to beat.

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.

I love it!!!! - 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By sherellem - April 12 - 9:43 amI love the car. I am a small person so it fits me well. I get compliments everywhere I go syaing how nice the car it and how its perfect for me. Itys has great speed on the highway which I love, but the pick-up is a little slow. Its excellent on gas (which is a plus at these prices). Its warms up fast in cold weather, but fishtails a little in the snow (which I do not like). Overall, for the price, its worth it. I love it a great deal. A few little adjustments and it would be perfect!!!!! I recommend it.
