2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Review
Prossmooth styling, handles well, plenty of power for a psuedo-sport, moderately priced Conslarge blind spots due to the hatch-back, nearly no head room for backseat passangers

Great Car! — I bought my Eclipse in June of 2007, and did buy used. I have the GT with a sporttronic transmission. I love this new style of Eclipse for many reasons; First, the new body styling it's both cute and mean and flows together nicely, I was glad to see they smoothed the sides of it from the third gen model, bringing back a little of the second gen. The way the rear seats fold down and how the rear panel is easily removed, the car opens up to fit quite a load in (great for college kids!) I've driven it nearly 6k miles since June and it is very comfortable for those long drives, the bucket seats fit well and it has adjustable lumbar support, the only thing i'd like to see with the interior is a telescoping steering wheel. Second; it's now got a 3.8L V6! The power is great, deffinantly not as much as some other cars, and if I could, I would deffinantly go for the 6 speed manual transmission instead of the 5 speed sporttronic, however that's a preference thing, I have driven the manual and it does feel more powerful. I do like the sporttronic, it's automatic when I need it to be and I can have fun and turn it into a clutchless-manual when I want to feel that power. Third; it handles incredibley well. I drove the pontiac G6, Hyundai Tiburon, Honda Civic Coupe, Scion TC, and Chrysler Crossfire while shopping around and the Eclipse handled very nicely. It responded acurately and cornered very well. You just have to get used to the front wheel drive, it's very easy to over-correct. Owner for 0 years, 3 months Miles Driven per Year:24,000

Eclipse Gt I Think Mistubishi Finally Did It And Made A Good Car {{{ Eclipse}}}} — the performance of this car was rediculous the acceleration was uncanny for a front wheel drive. the transmission was very smooth and easy to get into gear. the transmission in first was longer than i thought and didnt mind being stomped on.brakes were great a little touchy at times. handling was great other than the horrible blind spot behind the drivers head. Rarely needed to be fix as it was new jus the regular maintance check ups. the look of the car was a nice different to the older model. it showed appeal and innovation.foglights in front with powerful halogen lights the original body was sporty and well built gas was't to expensive as it was a 6 speed manual maintance was easy This car is a blast to drive and i would recommend it to any of my friends and family Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Good Looking Car — Strong engine, no problems with it. Beautiful interior. Rare and looks like an exotic car. Really a 2+2. After 80,000 miles, creaks are starting to be heard. Suspension and brakes will need to be replaced soon. Paint is beautiful bet could have been put better. Seems are wide. No all whell drive, front havy. Weak headlamps due to blue tinted lens. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Excellent — This is good car if you want something for regular commuting,and some minor racing.Has good acceleration and if you know how to power shift you will have no problems getting passed others on the road.The sound is awesome and has no problem staying inside the car and won't irritate other drivers. | ||

I Love My Car But Teacher Are Losing Their Jobs Left And Right This Year It Was My Turn. — Since there is a sound system in the truck you have very little storage, but it didn't bother me. Love a six speed because most people can't drive it and I was never put in the position to let someone borrow my car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsMediocre gas mileage, smooth ride, and a monster under the hood wanting to break tires loose... Awesome car ConsThis is not a car to haul your friends around in, the back seat is comparable to that of the old fox body mustang

Eclipse: Economic Fun — Awesome acceleration, and a fair amount of power. The only thing I have ever had to do to this car is replace an O2 sensor... well other than routine maintenance ie, oil change and tire replacement. In my opinion it is a fun car to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Beautiful Car And Perfect Color — Great looking car. Just whatever you do, don't get into a wreck with it. It had some decent get-up-and-go to it. Pretty fun car to cruise around in, until you total it. Still had a ton of fun in it though. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
