2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Review
ProsFun, reliable car worth the cost ConsNone, however i advise to get the standard version of the car
55
Great Buy — Performance- considering it is a V6 and just a 3 liter the performance is a 7 out of 10 in my book, i was expecting a bit more in this department. The build of the car is pretty solid as far as maintenance goes the only real problems i have found with the car ( that seems to be a recurring problem with the lot of them) is the dash boards tend to crack from the sun and the truck is more then definitely not sub-woofer friendly alot is needed to make it rattle proof. Appearance- Both out side and in the car is pretty sleek looking although i feel the paint quality on the outside should have been a bit better because it tends to fade. Cost- i bought mine for 6 grand, ever sence i have been nothing but happy with it. the gas mileage is surprisingly good Fun factor- This cars stiff suspension makes it very fun to drive and open up and the engine sounds like music to me. every time you hit the gas it seems to be asking for more. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

ProsLots of rubber burning torque for a FWD car ConsSuper heavy (4000lbs)

Mitsubishi Eclipse Gt — Handles decent, makes good power, but extremely heavy for its size coming in just shy of 4k lbs. Also brake fade shows after only a few hard turns, though it does have 2 piston calipers in front. All is easily fixed with minimal mods which I'v nearly completed with my GT. | ||

ProsCoupe. Very good looking. Decently Powerful in a straight line, but really quick around corners. ConsCoupe. Gas mileage is just O.K.

One Of The Best Looking Sports Coupes You Can Buy For An Inexpensive Pricetag. — 5 speed. 3.0L V6. 210 HP. 215 ft/lbs. Great Handling because of stiff suspension, but could be stiffer. At 100,000 miles, everything decided to break, but it was all cheap. Great looking car from almost any angle. This car is a blast to drive fast, especially on a curvy road. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsLoved the handling and the look. ConsToo much money put in.

Good But A Money Pit — Acceleration was pretty good for a four, handling was awesome, and braking was ok until the brakes went which happened very quickly. I had a lot of problems with the entire emisions system, I could not keep the check engine light off for anything, first it was an O2 sensor then a fuel neck, then a fuel cap, and so on and so on. I loved the apperance of the car and except for a couple of spots around the trunk it was pretty resistant to rust. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

It's A Fun Car To Drive, Gets Good Gas Mileage, And Decent Performance! — For the price and class of sport compact car it is in, it is a good deal. The car was quicker than most cars in its class, fun to drive and tops out at 152 mph. The looks of the car are very sleek. It also got pretty good gas mileage for a V6.
