2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Not simply a convertible version of a coupe, the Spyder was fully designed to be a convertible, with a rigid body, state-of-the-art aerodynamics, and a performance-tuned suspension. It is a sports car, right down to the aluminum pedals that await your feet. This is a fast and ready car, as is its ragtop, which with the touch of a button is down and tucked away in 19 seconds. Thanks to state-of-the-art aerodynamic design, the top-down experience delivers maximum pleasure. The body is reinforced at key points to distribute energy away from passengers in the event of a collision. That combined with a full set of air bags should give you the confidence that your beautiful Spyder will protect you from drastic harm.

The features are great for the year, and I believe its a good price for what its is and the year etc. This is one of my dream cars I could just never afford one, it would be a dream if I could own one day. I would compare this model to the eagle talons and the Tiburon and it stands out among the rest in my book. Good job Mitsubishi. Sep 23, 2023

I absolutely love the look and stance of this car and the availability of aftermarket parts that can be aded to modify the cars appearance. Most of my complaints stem from a lack of interior controls; for instance, there is not an interior trunk release button. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the giddy-up and the convertible aerodynamics. Aug 05, 2023

Had mine since 2008 (after 1 year lease). It has been superbly reliable, with low running and maintenance costs. Its not the fastest (would have liked GT engine) but it handles very well. Twice Ive had cars behind me slide off the road during cornering, they tried too hard to keep up. A practical fun car.Aug 11, 2022

convertible is what sold me to this car.. I like the manual speed so it gives me good pickup. Sound is awesome. Driving with top down, relaxes me and makes me feel great in this car. The color is also my favoriteSep 26, 2014

It is the best car to be in during summer, with the roof up and a drive to the beech gives a good feeling and gets you addicted to the car. Dont miss the action this summer, get your hands on the beast and start rolling it up.Apr 18, 2014

Handling, acceleration, shifting thru the gears, real smooth. The car is in great shape, garage kept since purchased new, great look with the sunset orange and saddle front seating, this car was the auto show demo for 2007, so I had to have it.Jun 17, 2012

This car has been everything I've dreamed of. Amazing drive each time I get in it. Don't regret this purchase for even a minute. I love the sound system and the easy open roof the most. I have taken this car on long trips and it's been so cool! Driving through the mountains with a 360 view is awesome!May 29, 2012

Interior is a bit plasticky. Frankly Toys R' Us sells toys with better plastic. the 6G75 V6 SOHC engine is an amazing motor but the suspension is a huge drawback. It understeers a lot. It has the turning circle of Jupiter. Only one word can describe the appearance - sexy. It really depends on whether or not you get the aero kit. Without it, it looks like a fat yank on steroids. If you get the spyder, papparazi is definetely optional.Mar 31, 2010

3.8L V6 has plenty of power for daily driving as well as canyon runs.
The only downside is the FWD layout limits performance on hard turns and also tire wear. Torque steer is extreme at WOT and takes some effort to keep her in a straight line.Dec 22, 2009

Really love this car, it does have a bad blind spot on the passager side but run great on stick or not. Handles nice, extra freatures are great along with the sound system that comes with it.Yet to have a problem with it.Dec 09, 2009

This is a powerful sporty convertible that won't break the bank. The power top lowers in just 19 seconds and hides completely under a tonneau cover giving the car its own definitive shape.
Like the coupe, the seats are very comfortable and supportive and it handles surprising well. I live in snowy Ohio so I like the FWD and the torque steer complaints are overexaggerated.
This car will flat out move! It has a 260HP V6 engine and equal amount of torque which pushes you into the seat when you hit the gas, you have to try to avoid squealing the front tires because this car wants to "take off".
The GT spyder has the Rockford Fosgate stereo system with CD changer & outside temp gauge as well as foglights. The spyder does lose the cargo room but the 5 cubic ft trunk as well as the small backseat can handle your traveling needs.
The only few complaints that I have is the visibility, which is non existent and the turning radius is very large, other than that this car has it all.
I still don't understand all the bad press this car gets because all of the owners seem to love it. Drive one and you'll see!!!Mar 09, 2009

The performance of the car is awesome. It has great acceleration and can stop on a dime. It has a great build i have not had any problems with it yet. I love the way it looks its very cute, inside and out. And gas is great 20 bucks to fill my tank. It is the best to drive, especially with the top down.Jan 13, 2009

An amazing and surprisingly fast drop top with a potent 260HP MIVEC V6 engine. Very sporty with acceptable MPG in the 20's for combined driving. This car handles well and is a lot of fun. I love the exhaust growl!!!Dec 10, 2008

Perfect affordable car for CA climate. A little bit underpowered but I get 30 mpg so overall I'm happy. A few squeeks and little details that they've missed (it's not european). Handles decent and got good enough brakes. Room for more than 2 and a superb speaker system. Looks just great and it's got excellent warranty. I have the 5 spd manual and like it better than the available 4 spd auto.Sep 08, 2008

Absolutely love the style. Interior has an expensive feeling, clean design and useful features. The car includes leather sport/racing-style seats, 6 disc changer, hidden steering wheel radio controls, 650-watt subwoofer and incredible sound system. Convertible top drops down in under 18 seconds (just quick enough for a red light.) Unfortunately because the Spyder is a convertible, the performance suffers from the extra weight of the convertible mechanics.Jun 15, 2008

Had this car for a little bit under a year and I love it. It's a car that can easly cost over $40000, but it's just over $30000. I have the GT version that comes with the V6 250+ horsepower MIVEC engine. In terms of gas, I think it's pretty good, I fill it up with $50 bucks of premium because of the supercarburant, but it lasts me almost 2 weeks (in a normal week) and 1 week if using heavily. The handling is great, the faster you go the lower it goes to the floor. Brakes are incredible, you can barely touch them when you have already stopped. Interior is mind blowing, ice blue dials and lights, leather heated bucket racing style seats. The radio is rockford fosgate, with 9 speakers total, 2 components, 4 mid range and a 8 inch subwoffer in the middle of the back seats, I upgraded a little bit and had installed a 10 inch infinity self amped sub that was mounted in the trunk, all of this pushed with a kick ass rockford fosgate 4 chanel amp. Downfalls, the back seat and the trunk or lack there of, but I don't care about that cause I am not sitting in back nor storing any bodies in my trunk. One of the coolest things is the quickness that the top goes down and stowes away, I've done it at a red light with time to spare, another cool thing, the top hides into the body of the car, so it seems like it never had it, the tacky folded cloth is no where to be seen.
Overall love it, have to be carefull though cause after 4000 rpm the 200 some Horses kick in and it takes off, a good idea to have all bases covered, buying a radar like I did...Apr 03, 2008
What users have asked
Top will not go up!
Took spyder out the first time this year and the battery was dead. I jumped it and it started fine. It is a beautiful day so I took the top down. I ran the car for awhile to charge up battery. I shut the car off and had to jump it again. Went to get some gas and the car would not start again. I was at Sam's so I had them pop in a battery. The top was down. Now the top will not go up. What can I do. I read that you should not unhook positive on battery with top down. I did and there is no Mitz. dealer here. What is a girl to do?

Recharging Convertible Roof cylinders
Hello. I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider GT. The driver’s side Regulator was just recently replaced & is in working order! Yay! Needle in haystack new part found! Lol! Problem is previous owner released the hydraulic pressure fluid to disable the roof so it couldn’t be opened. How do I repressurize it? Would love to get this thing on the road! Thanks!
