2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

Eclipse was alright, but by 70K miles things were starting to go (A/C first)

Cheap To Maintain Compared To My Vr4 — Great cruiser but never going to be a power house. I finished the body kit, seemles install solid black car. Built the car for my wife an dit gets around fine but cant go through trailer parks, side streets, or anywhere with speed bumps.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Fun Little Sporty Car With Good Gas Mileage — I just took over this car from my brother's estate, he used it as a commuter car. We cleaned it up to sell it, found a buyer, and I thought to myself, I would like to own this car at this price! So I bought it myself. Not having had a sporty car for myself for years, I love the 5-speed and good acceleration and handling. It's very comfy and easy to drive, although, at 6 foot 2, I have to duck my head to get into the drivers seat. It's not a Corvette, but it sure is fun, and seems to be very well built. My 2000 RS has 140,900 miles. Another thing that convinced me I should own it, I got it smogged, and the smog pro told me it was so clean it did not even register meaningful smog in the exhaust! Mitsubishi must be doing something right, after 140k miles, to have an engine run that well.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Really Nice — i like because the color tells it all and its really fast. when its on a highway that car its unstopable. i put alot of money in my car lately but its worth it. got him new tire and rims lately.

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

Fun Car And Great To Drive. — This V6 has great acceleration. Although it takes premium gas, the mileage is great if you know how to drive a manual transmission. This had been my second eclipse, I had a 1995. Would have bought a 3rd, but did not like the styling on the new ones. Also these cars go well down the road if you treat them well and maintain them the way suggested. Always changed the oil on time and proper maintenance done.
