Great first BRAND NEW CAR

I purchased one of these as my first BRAND NEW vehicle. Initially Seeing this car I noticed it was very attractive. I got the Mercury Gray Metallic color. I got the SE trim because it seemed to have many features without the big price tag. The paint is not the best and chips easy on the hood. I've gotten used to the CVT and fake shifts. One thing I have noticed is that if you go over a bump the car revs up high and tries to find out what happened. It's kind of annoying. I wish LED headlights were standard. The lines on the reverse camera don't move which is annoying. Overall 4/5 satisfaction for me.

Wanted a car just to get by, came out with gold

I came from an '03 Kia Rio hatchback. Always having issues with it, so when the time came to get a new car, it was either this or a Jeep Compass. I checked the feature list on both, and a higher trim model with more features matched the base price on the Jeep. It felt like a no brainer to me. I don't really understand what the official reviewers mean by the car not handling well, it feels like a dream to me. Remember, I came from a cheap Kia, though, so possibly anything is an upgrade. But the space is amazing, the power's great, and I tend to get 40+ MPG on the highway when I drive. Maybe I'm nicer on the accelerator than most... anyway, I think I'll be keeping this car until it disintegrates!

Good Little SUV

Has a lot more spunk/acceleration than other SUV's of this class test driven. Rides more like a car than the harshness of other's in this class. Is comfortable to drive, the arrangement of rear windows is a little odd but ok. I dispute claims of this SUV's driveability and ride on rough roads and outside noise. Has ride more to an auto than SUV, which most others test driven are harsh and stiff, for stability and handling they claim. Front seat room is very good and rear passenger seating is on par with all others tested. All in all seems to be the best SUV value for my money, styling is a little out there, but price I paid overrides those concerns.

Looks nice but made cheap

First I dont want to get the wrong impression off that I'm completely bashing this ride. But here it goes. I truly believe all of us can attest that cars are not made like they was. They rattle more now... bend more and cry more. With that said it's to be expected that the intro year of bringing back the eclipse name will have some faults. I recently bought a 18 eclipse cross with 15,000 miles on it. I told myself 3 days later I should of kept my tacoma. It was pouring raining... I worked the 3rd the night before and was tired of being at the dealership (who really handled my whole sale completely wrong) Greer Mitsubishi is the name by the way. I will never go back there. But this car is nice. It just feels real cheap. The mind numbing cvt transmission is real sluggish taking off. There is alot of body roll in corners. Plastic everywhere. The driver seat makes noise. The door squeaks opening up. It could be a salvage for all I know that's how bad the dealership is. The sound system sounds blown or it could be just too weak. Mind you a 2 year old vehicle with only 15,000 miles should NOT be already showing heavy signs of wear and tear. It's time car makers be held responsible for what they are making these days. Money is tight for most of us. And the economy is tuff in these years. What happen to taking pride in building a reliable vehicle? Hey Mitsubishi... just a thought... dont put a sports car name on a power wheels car. And also Mitsubishi... may I say too... how about you drive the car your making for 10 to 15 years like most of us has too and see how much in love you'll still be with that oh so "amazing" cvt and sexy styling. I rest my case.

Not very happy.

I bought this car in September. I thought it was really cute and the diamond red gorgeous, but what I really liked about it the way the rear looked, turned out to be annoying. That bar that goes across the back is annoying when you look through your rear view mirror. What I really don’t like about it is the acceleration. I do a lot of highway driving and 0-65 takes forever. It is like molasses running uphill on a cold winter morning. Also, it cannot hold its speed. Maybe because I live in the mountains, but if you let up on the gas pedal just a little and your speed drops. Drives me crazy. I don’t like Apple play. I prefer the old navigation map, plus you have to use data and you are constantly losing the internet. Again that may be the mountains , but I never had to deal with that with the old navigation. Let’s just say I am already looking for a new car which is why I am on this site.
