Mitsubishi Eclipse 2007Change

The Eclipse GT is such a fun car to drive, tons of power excellent handling. Even after 7 years I still love to get into this car each morning and I still get the odd "nice car" from people walking by. It has a timeless design, Mitsubishi would be hard pressed to come up with anything that topped the style and looks of this car.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse has come a long way since its turbocharged four-cylinder 4wd heyday in the '90s, when it earned a deserved cult following. Since then, like the rest of us, it has grown up and grown a paunch, now weighing 3560 pounds. Some of that flab derives from its beefy platform, which the Eclipse shares with the Galant sedan and Endeavor SUV. In any event, it's now become more of a grand tourer than a back-roads blaster.

On the other hand, this swoopy, organic hatch has also grown more refined. For starters, Mitsubishi has banished most of the old torque steer, even though all of the 3.8-liter SOHC V-6's thrust is funneled through the front tires--which are quick to howl in protest, in case you forget what 263 horses can do. This latest Eclipse cruises serenely until you zing the V-6 to its 6500-rpm redline, where it aurally resembles something created by Alfa Romeo. The ride is hugely improved, too, even as body motions remain nicely controlled. Push hard, however, and all you'll ever uncover is understeer.

Quick, maneuverable, amazingly fun to drive, as well as convenient and safe!

Bought this car at 85,000 km.... is now at 142,000 km. Only oil changes have been needed. I've tried to do extra maintenance on it like brakes, but have always been told by my mechanic that NOTHING is needed. This is the best car I have ever owned.

Despite its powerful V-6 and sports-car , I apperciate the Great value ,the Rare and unique,eye catching looks, sporty performance, even works great even in the snow!!

Have loved this car since I bought it 2 years ago. Strong engine, awesome stereo, cool roof design. A great summer car, handles great and can even squeeze in 4 people...not many convertibles can do that. The 6 speed is fun to throw through the gears and the seats hold you in tight. Turning circle is a little to wide but other than that a great car to have fun in and enjoy the great outdoors. 0 to 100km in under 6 seconds! A real head turner!

this is my first car it was affordable reliable and cute. i love the way it drives and its comfort i like how it has lots of space but my only problem was that the insurance was a little on the higher side. i love this car and think it would be great for anyone looking for a sporty affordable car.

Amazing experience with the car!
Inexpensive with a sporty look. Easy to control, incredibly fun to drive.

Overall, very reliable vehicle with a great gas consumption.

5/5, easy.
