2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

I Would Recommend This Car To Somebody As Long As The Previous Owner(s) Took Care Of It. — I really like eclipses. I like the way the body of the car is designed, how low it sits, the little grooves it has on the sides of the doors, etc. I really like the fact that it's a car that you can do a lot of work to on the body for a car kit, give it better exhaust, tail lamps, theres just so many things you can do to it to make it look slick. It's quite peppy when it needs to be, but my transmissio went out on it with 87,000 miles and cost me a whopping $2200.00 to fix! You do gotta watch how you drive them, because the transmissions on them do wear down quickly. Overall I think they are great cars, they even seem to handle well in quite a bit of snow!

Ryan's '01 Eclipse — Third gen eclipse is solid, well built, and has more than enough power stock to get you running off the line. Aftermarket support is pretty good, still a few pieces lacking, needs definite attention to detail. Most parts need to be fabricated, and the steering is a little loose. The sporttronic transmission is a breeze, and it's just a fun ride. Not a hardcore following, but then, being original is the key.

Mitsubishi All Day — Mitsubishi is the way to go...its basically a non turbo fwd evo...never had a problem with it since i got it...high miles and it runs like new...would nver leave the mitsubishi family..they are semi expensive to buy dpeneding on your budget but they are WELL WORTH IT. so much fun to drive and its fast but at the same time you are sitting in comfortable leather seats with the sunroof open, windows down, and music blasting. you can go fast and still be comfortable which is hard for most sport cars.gas mileage is pretty good cant complain plus i run 93 in it so it last longer and cleans the injectors.takes off quick and the v6 helps it take off real nice. no matter what low mid and top range is quick and very acceptable for stock. when im done working on the motor over winter ill post more up.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Very Easy To Drive, Great Handling, But Back Seat Is Not Comfortable. — The car is overall easy to drive. It's got great handling. The rear window is angled weird, so it's hard to see out of it. Reversing is difficult and you have to use your mirrors more than usual. The seats are more comfortable than earlier models, but the backseat is still a pain.

Fun, Pretty, And Reliable. — love everything dislike the cost of parts needs more power in a big way other then that if i had more money i would but more then one love this car and would never get rid of it its one of the best rigs i have ever had bar none.
