Used 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse for Sale near Canton, GA
The Mitsubishi Eclipse has been completely redesigned for 2000. The sports coupe gains a V-6 engine and is now built upon the Gallant sedan platform. Unfortunately, the turbo and AWD options have both been discontinued.
There are three trim levels for the Eclipse Coupe: RS, GS and GT. All models come standard with alloy wheels, air conditioning, a CD audio system and powered accessories.
The RS and GS house a 2.4 liter four cylinder engine, which generates 154 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. Both engines can be paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, but the GS includes a manual shifter. The GT is powered by a 3.0 liter V-6, which generates 205 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque. Transmission options are the same. Fuel economy is estimated at 23/31 mpg with the four cylinder and 20/28 mpg with the V-6.
The 2000 Eclipse earns high marks for acceleration, handling, and interior controls and comfort. Test drivers recommend that the four cylinder engine be paired with the manual transmission, as the automatic unit is a bit sluggish. The Eclipse cabin is still tight, very accommodating seats accommodate for the lack of room. The controls are well placed and easy to manage.

(82 reviews)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.
This car is very fun to drive. Acceleration is quick, braking is fast but smooth, and handling is very nice. My Eclipse has over 85,000 but is still very solid. It has some minor problems like the front windshield sprayer tube became disconnected somewhere and the radio gets a weak signal. The thing I dislike the most is the factory paint job. The paint is cracking and pealing where the sun hits it the most. I am hoping to get a new paint job soon. It has good gas mileage since it is a small car. Overall it's a pretty nice 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 :)
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.
Great audio system, good engine and a top speed of about 150, really good handling,
