2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

If You Can Get It In Good Shape, It's A Good Car. Fun To Drive, Great Sound System. — Decent performance, plenty of torque to spin the wheels, could've used more horsepower though. Car sits very low to the ground, can be difficult to get out of, but adding the hard suspension gives a decent handling touch. The quality does lack a bit, such as the interior components, but Mitsubishi didn't skimp on the sound system. For a stock audio system, it sounds very good (especially for such an old car). I did prefer the looks of the '00-'05 Eclipse, becasue the new ones are too space-age. The 4 cylinder model has great gas mileage, and decent gas mileage for the V6 GT model, although it depends on your style of driving. So far, mine has been pretty reliable as far as maintenence, except for the cost of replacing rims when I first ran over something in the road, and then bent a rim from hitting the curb from ice on the road. Overall, the car is very fun to drive, and I do get the occasional comment: "Nice car". I would definitely be happy having this car for a while.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

I Like It Alot, Once Youve Ran Thru The Car And Done A Nice Tune Up Itl Be Good For 100k+ — i bought an eclipse gt like 5 months ago and i love it. it had 130k on it and ran great. interior is stunning, its a sharp little car. and asside from its weight problem it still managed to take me around 150 155 on a runway strip and about 7 seconds 0-60 i love it its a smoothe ride and the ladies like em

Right Above Alright/pretty Good — Car would be at its best on some rims and lowering kit, that's it. The car already has a gorgeous curve body and appearance. Definitely needs motor build and will mob any car. Great handling and hella easy to drive, 5 speed is where its at.

Great Car — My Eclipse was great! It had a custom paint job and it was very clean. My dad bought it for me crashed and we fixed it along with my boyfriend. The interior wasn't in the greatest shape at first because of the previous owner, but some good scrubbing and it was good as new! Very fun to drive and great on mileage.

I Love This Car. — Quick acceleration, The GT manual version has good handling, first to second gear pulls are amazing. The throttles real touchy at high rpms, can really notice the increase in torque. The car is very fun to drive I would recommend it to anyone :)
