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.
What owners say
"Owners generally love the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder for its impressive performance, stylish design, and fun convertible feature. Many appreciate its acceleration, handling, and the overall driving experience, especially with the top down. However, some drivers have noted drawbacks such as a lack of power in certain configurations, limited cargo space, and a plasticky interior feel. Overall, it is seen as a reliable and enjoyable car for warm weather driving."
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, 2012Interior 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.
March 31, 2010Perfect 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.

September 8, 2008The 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.
September 23, 2023Had 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.
August 11, 2022Had 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...
April 3, 20083.8L 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.
December 22, 2009Really 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.
December 9, 2009The 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.
January 13, 2009Absolutely 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.
