2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Consumer Reviews

Bad Paint Job

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Overall the car is a good car. It looks good and handles good. I have had no problems with either the engine or drive train. My three negatives, one because of space available between the seat, roof and steering wheel it can be a little difficult for driver to enter. Second engineering design has turn signal blocked by steering wheel.(move light or change steering wheel design). Last this summer two bad paint spots appeared. One between sun roof and back window, the second between trunk and rear window.

Love my car

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I'm a women in my late 40s and this is the first car I ever got to pick out brand new and buy just because I liked it. I've had it now over two years and I love it. I still smile every time I see it in the driveway. It runs great and is very fun to drive. My only complaint is that shortly after I bought it, I bumped into a pole (too low to see at my son's baseball field) and it creased the bumper. I thought for a hit that light, it should have not shown any damage but it did. So I think the body is not very forgiving. Still wouldn't want anything else, it's a fun car.

2005 Eclipse GTS Coupe - 5 Speed

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 5M)

Review

I am very pleased with my Eclipse. Though, this is the second one I've owned since 2001. The car extremey fun to drive and not something that becomes burdensome after a short while. The leather seating is comfortable, and the interior is roomy enough for the driver and passenger. I don't consider this car a true "Sports Car" by definition, but I would call it a "Sporty" vehicle. It has enough power and torque to get you where you're going as fast as you want, but don't expect to race your neighbor's flashy Nissan 350Z. Mitsubishi has definately upped their build quality since the '90's. This Eclipse feels solid and is extremely reliable. The clutch on the 5-speed models is very forgiving and easy to drive.

Sporty & Powerful (V6)

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 5M)

Review

My 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS is fun to drive, especially during warm weather with the sunroof open. It is as powerful as many of the V8s were several years ago. Its price wasn't too bad for a sports car. The cost of insurance is kind of high though.

We Love our Eclipse!

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Review

We have only had our Eclipse since Feb 2005....so far we love it! We are in our 40's and this car has a way of making you feel 20 years younger. With the sunroof open, and the whole day ahead of us.......we are young again. Our Eclipse is Pearl White, and we put a black bra on the front, I truely think it's the sharpest looking car in our city.

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Okay - it's only been 2 months but I also own a 2003 Maxima (Which I love) and this car rides BETTER and is more fun to drive! Not as quick but oh so close...Both cars have Goodyear Eagles. Unlike on the Maxima, they are very sticky on GTS- even in the rain. This is a tight car. It gets lots of compliments! Will post review after one year and winter in New York City. I Love this car so far. I intentionally purchased a 2005 model, the 2006 model looks too wierd for me.

05 Eclipse Remix Edition

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Bought my Eclipse 3 months ago and love it. Looks like a Ferarri, but more affordable, and easy on the gas. Could've used a bigger engine for more torque, but is a lot of fun to drive with the 4 cyl. I love this car, best one I've ever owned and has a great warranty and service agreement. Handles great, and comes flying out of corners like a bat outta hell!

My dream come true

Vehicle

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I recently purchased a used 2000 Eclipse GT. I love it. It runs amazing and is the perfect car for me. It is stylish among being very resourceful. I wouldn't own any other car. I am 100% satisfied with its performance this far. It hasn't given me any problems. As far as I can tell it is going to be the best car I own.
