2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I have been tracking this car ever since Mitsubishi first started producing them. They have come such a long way. I put a lot of effort and research into this. I don't maintain this car nearly as well as I should and it still has yet to give me a problem and I'm now over 50,000 miles. The best part of the car is the exterior design. Absolutely beautiful - spoiler could be smaller, but the paint job is superb. It always looks like I've gotten a wax job on it, especially at night. The V4 leaves a lot to be desired, but it's still an amazing car to drive. It's so much fun - and completely and totally reliable.
Favorite Features
Exterior design, paint, Infinity stereo system
Suggested Improvements
Make V6 standard to make it a real sports car!, could use slightly better fuel efficiency. If you are tall it's pretty much impossible to have back seat passengers.

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
Owned this vehicle less than 4 months, and had to spend $800 to repair the condenser. Dealership and manufacturer claimed it is not under warranty as the damanage might be caused by road hazard. Heard someone that had 400 miles had the same bad luck as I did. Just to remind buyers to be wary of this potential problem with the Eclipse as the condenser is poorly protected.
Favorite Features
Looks pretty
Suggested Improvements
Enhance the protection of the condenser on the eclipse

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
Review
I love my 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I wouldn't have gotten anything else. I comparison shopped it with a Toyota Celica and a Volkswagen GTI, but nothing compared to it. I got mine in Sliver Blue and its awesome. I just wish that the Infinity stereo system was a little bit better.
Favorite Features
The sound of the exhaust, clean lines, and smoothness of its ride.
Suggested Improvements
Improve the stereo and make the car lighter.

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
Review
When I bought this car I wanted something fun to drive. I wasn't concerned with cargo space or rear seat comfort. (As I will never be in the rear seats) The acceleration, handling, and transmission are all great. As good as this car is... aftermarket parts will make it even better.
Favorite Features
Leather, awesome look, stereo, fun factor, all the comments from people I meet.
Suggested Improvements
Heated leather seats would be nice. So would a different interior light color. (Blue maybe)

Review
I drove a Mitz 3000GT and wanted a comparable new car when I was ready to buy. This car was not a step down, it is smooth, quick, stylish, comfortable. I recommend the leather package with sun + sound, it makes it stand out when outside the car. Also, when AC is on, you feel a noticable decrease in acceleration, I suggest a performance air filter to give you a 10% boost in HP. Love my car, waiting to buy the new 2006 when it comes out!

Review
Hello everyone! Hope all is well, my name is Patrick, a college student at the Arts Instutite of Boston. I bought my Mitsubishi GTS this past May. Over all I think its okay. It does need some things....
Favorite Features
Style is great! Fun to drive! Good sound system. Everyone alwayes comments about it to me: "thats an awsome car man!" etc... Has a happy-Go- Lucky look to it, that I personally like!
Suggested Improvements
Power! The car performs okay, howver I personally believe that it looks MUCH meaner then it drives. Needs 250hp. A better sound system. Heated seats? 5 speed auto, and 6 speed manual.

Review
This is my 4th car in three and a half years and I wish I would have bought it sooner. I LOVE MY CAR!! Even though it's a 4 cy. it drives like a 6 and the supertronic transmission is great. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Favorite Features
The wide seats, unlike most sports cars that make you feel all squished
Suggested Improvements
More buttons and gadgets and a brighter light for them.
Hot car!

This is my favorite car. It's actually the only car i enjoy driving. I have driven a lot of other cars and i like the eclipse best.
Favorite Features
I like the way the muffler gives out a nice sound it makes the car sound powerful and fast. The eclipse sounds really nice when it accelerates. Im into imports and this is a great car to fix up and race in!
