2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

A Good Start To A Passionate Love For Cars —

The Mitsubishi Eclipse 2000 GT Sporty is a car I take pride in owning. The car holds a very specific job and it is for people who know what they want. It is a very small car and it seats about two people and maybe a half of a person if you were to cut off their arms and legs and head. It is undoubtedly a good looking car with a fairly nice interior. Problems I have seen include slow window motors, a slow or sticking sunroof, a dysfunctional horn, and a slow electric seat. I have had no problems with the stock 4-disc CD changer. The sound system is mediocre and requires upgrade to be anything worth talking about. The biggest disappointment is the engine. The engine in the Eclipse is a 3.0L V6 SOHC formally called the 6G72. Power output for one of these puppies in an Sporty averages around 160 at this time. The car isn't a dog, but it sure isn't going to give you the tingle you get from a V8. The other big letdown this car provides is a reputation for yielding very bad gains from modifications. Don't expect to buy this car and turn it into a 13 second car with anything but 10 grand. On the upside, when Mitsubishi made the 6G72, they made one Hell of an engine as far as endurance goes. These engines are the same ones we see in the old 96 Caravans that last FOREVER.

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gt — The car has never given me problems and I drove about 20,000 miles last year in it, and now has 123k miles. solid buildt great car. the performance is alright it does 0-60 in 7.9 sec. pulls great in first gear, awful in second. the tiptronic that comes with the GT eclipse is fun and addictive. Suprisingly this 2 door coupe has a massive amount of room in the trunk, when you lay down the 2 back setats which is no hassle at all you can fit 2 bicycles, or all the crap that you can possibly bring to your college dorm. There is just one negative point that I can make and that is the choice of mitsubishi to go with FWD instead of RWD or AWD. but you can't have everything in life

My Whip — It runs pretty good. Decently quick and gets me in trouble lol. Has some aftermarket accessories but has plenty of room for improvement and is a good platform to build on. Basically, its just a fun car to ride around in and comfortable to drive. Not the greatest in town but most people seem to like it.

Now Thats More Like It — This was a great carfun to drive. It was a great gas saver, while having that sporty styling. Interior was streamline, had a descent sound system. I bought this from my mom when she payed it off. It had a nice big dent in the rear fender, but I took it to Maaco and had it banged out and painted. I had it about a year before I traded it in for the beauty I have now the new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS!!!!!!!!!! YEAH BABY

Awesome — Very beautiful car backed with a great overall performance and great reliability. Has never left me stranded on the side of the road. Has power when needed and does pretty well on gas for a V6.
