The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two-door coupe with two available engines/trim levels: the 4-cylinder GS and the 6-cylinder GT. The convertible version of this car is called the Eclipse Spyder. The Eclipse has a sleek, eye-catching shape, but other than that it's unremarkable. Although the car has received good reviews for its reliability, it isn't really a stand-out among the cars in its class. That's not to say it isn't a good car - it just doesn't make headlines. Owners of the Eclipse are in general quite satisfied, and for that matter very satisfied for the attention their beautiful car brings them. Some feel that its suspension does not match its sporty personality, in that it is tuned too softly. The 2007 Eclipse comes in seven stylish paint finishes that are off the beaten path of car colors. The most unique one is a coppery-orange called Sunset Pearlescent.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse have mixed feelings about their cars. Many love the stylish design and the comfortable driving experience, citing great handling and a peppy engine as highlights. However, some drivers are disappointed with the lack of power in certain trims and the cramped backseat space. The sound system has received positive remarks as well. Overall, it's a fun car for those who prioritize style and handling over pure performance."
I do not think this car was worth $6,000 in particular. But I do love this style car, the eclipse in general is a great handling car from the older styles to the newer, and its comfortable for me. I love the body style, its just really my kind of car.
April 16, 2022Very sporty, extremely quick, incredibly comfortable and decent mpg. A lot of fun to drive, handles great and love the sound of the exhaust growl. I've gotten more compliments than when I had my spyder, which got a lot of attention on her own. Looking forward to many happy years.
June 14, 2009This car looks fast just sitting still. Awesome handling thanks to the independent rear suspension and wide chassis. Picked up the GS for 22K but if you have the extra 10K for the GT then I'm more than confident that it's well worth it. The thing is fun to drive but does have a different feel to it. It feels very wide inside and there's really no backseat worth mentioning. Can't really see over the hood completely which is the only thing I'd have to say I dislike.

August 12, 2008Overall the car is gorgeous and reliable. It's heavy and built solid like a tank, which makes me feel safe. The sound system is FANTASTIC! It's fun to drive and I always get lots of looks when I'm out and about in it. Luckily, I'm short so the car offers me lots of room. I hauled a 32 inch 100lb tv in the trunk 220 miles to my brothers and had room left over for my luggage and dvd player. It's all in how you pack your cargo.
June 21, 2008The horsepower and handling exceeded my expectations, the design of the interior mixed with the body style had me wanting to and helped me decide this was the car I needed.
February 25, 2021This car is more then what I thought it would be. The handling is very impressive and the stock sound system in the car is very good acceleration isn't very fast but the car has a good top speed and is good on fuel economy. Also love the remote starter, helps a lot in the winter months and then has a sunroof for the summer. Seats are also comfortable, except for the backseats. The backseats don't have much roof at all, but at least they are there. The front seats have a lot of room. The trunk of the car is also pretty big.
February 2, 2013Great acceleration has many modifications Injen Short-ram intake, Eibach Sway Bars,Ebiach Lowering springs, Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust. Also Kenwood Deck, 2 JL 10s. Fun car to drive to school but on the weekends great little racer around the loop. Great Car
June 30, 2011Performance: its handled a lot better on the snow and ice than I thought it was going to. It takes turns and makes U- turns beautifully. It's loads of fun to drive! Quality: good...the plastic parts on the inside tend to scratch a little, but otherwise its pretty good. Haven't had any repairs or anything for it yet... Appearance: hot! :) Cost of ownership: it gets good gas mileage...I use about a quarter tank of gas a week on average.. Those are all the pros...and I can only think of one con...it has a terrible blind spot when you're trying to back up. There an area you just can't see and have to just go on blind faith somethings. While driving its not so bad...its low enough that you're not going to miss anything shorter than you in that spot, and you get used to using your mirrors in such a way as to compensate for it. I would definitely recommend my car to a friend...
December 25, 2008I love my car because it handles like a dream and performs even better . The car also gets all kinds of attention every where it goes . For being a sport car it is fuel efficient and rides nice .The cost of this car in comparison of other sport cars is very reasonable .This car so far has been very low maintenance, and sofar there has been no squeaks or rattles . The warrenty on this car is second to no other , it has a 10 yr ,160000km .
September 27, 2008Little too much torque steer. Awesome power. Terrible stock tires. Unreal sound system and interior.
