The Mitsubishi Eclipse coupe is a sporty little number with a unique look. It has a backseat, but for all intents and purposes you can consider it a two-seater, as that back row is not all that useful for passengers.
The GS is the four-cylinder version of the Eclipse, housing 162 horses under its hood. Transmission choices are a 5-speed manual or 4-speed Sportronic automatic. The engine employs the MIVEC system, which is Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing and Lift Electronic Control. The gist of this technology is a boost in fuel economy brought about by an increase in air supply to the combustion chambers at speeds above 3500 rpm. The fuel economy averages 23 city/30 highway � good for a sports car, although this one is no prize-winner in that category.
Standard features include air conditioning, 6-speaker audio system with CD player and MP3 compatibility, security alarm, power windows, locks, and mirrors, and remote keyless entry as well as 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome and clear taillight lenses, and an integrated rear spoiler. Safety features on the GS are ABS and a complete set of 6 air bags.
Available options are grouped into packages by theme. For instance, the Sun and Sound Package includes a power sunroof, upgraded Rockford Fosgate audio system with 9 speakers, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and center LCD display for stereo, clock, thermometer, and compass.
The Eclipse is available in seven truly eye-catching colors. The car is a looker, but reviewers weren't too keen on it, so if you're considering one be sure to do your research and take a thorough test drive.

In 2006, Mitsubishi completely redesigned the Eclipse. For 2007 the car shows only minor changes. Reviewers have a favorable opinion of the new Eclipse, calling it "more a touring coupe than a sports car," among other things. The SE is the midlevel trim for the Eclipse coupe, adding front leather seating, a Rockford Fosgate stereo system, a power sunroof, and additional trim upgrades over the base GS model.
The only engine offered at the SE level is a 2.4-liter, inline four cylinder with variable valve timing that produces 162 hp and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, with a 5-speed Sportronic automatic optional. Reviewers had positive impressions of both transmissions. Consumer Guide managed the 0-60 jump in 9.2 seconds. Reviewers found that with the manual transmission the engine offered adequate power and the advantage of better gas mileage, with the EPA estimating 20/28 mpg. Consumer Guide's testers averaged 19.6 mpg with the automatic.
The Eclipse's Ride is comfortable, though some reviewers find the Eclipse to be a tad firm, especially the tender souls at Consumer Guide. They found the SE especially firm when equipped with 18-inch tires. Other reviewers wrote that while the increased weight and rather large turning radius of the Eclipse precluded serious sports-car-like handling, it could happily participate in "spirited driving." Overall, ride quality and behavior are like that of most front-wheel-drive coupes: The harder the car is pushed through the corners, the more it will understeer.
The interior is comfortable, with sufficiently bolstered and cushioned front seats that work adequately for both spirited driving and day-long trips. The two rear seats, as with most sport coupes, end up as cargo - not people - holders. They flip down (50/50 split) extending the trunk space to a maximum of 15.7 cubic feet, but this cargo space is neither well laid out nor easily accessible.
The overall layout of the cabin is "austere," but not "minimalist." Various controls are well laid out and within easy reach, but some reviewers complain the tilting steering wheel lacks telescoping. Consumer Guide felt there were "too many hard plastic surfaces" in the cabin. And there were numerous complaints about the lack of rearward visibility due to the stylish body design.
Standard safety equipment includes multiple airbags and ABS brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution in this stylish sports coupe.

If you're buying a car that looks like this, you might at well get it with guts. With 263 horses under its hood, the Eclipse GT is the one that's made to go.
The GT's 3.8-liter V6 features Mitsubishi's MIVEC technology, meaning that it optimizes air intake for the best performance at speeds over 3500 RPM. It's available in a sporty six-speed manual or 5-speed Sportronic auto-manual transmission. The Sportronic allows you to enjoy automatic shifting but also to change gears by hand when you wish to.
The GT comes with the same equipment as the GS, but it adds traction control, parabolic fog lights, a front strut tower brace, and a stainless-steel exhaust finisher. This trim also allows you to select a sunroof, leather seats and heaters, power seats, and other options, which are arranged in packages such as the Premium Sport Package and the Sun and Sound Package.
