Great convertable compact sports car
After owning several Volkswagen GTI's and Honda Civic SI's, I have found that none can top the fun and excitement of driving a Turbo Eclipse Spyder. It looks great, has more than enough power, good gas mileage and a comfortable interior. It feels as much a sports car as vehicles costing $10,000 more.
Nice car!
This car is such a joy to drive!

'97 Eclipse Spyder
I have had my '97 Eclipse Spyder GS-T for about two years and i have loved every minute of it. It is a fun car to drive and it is very reliable. The power is great and the handeling makes it a blast to come out of a corner. Take care of these cars and they will last you for 200,000+ miles
sweet ride
I bought mine from a friend who had bought it at an insurance auction. Despite a shady history I have not had a single problem with my Eclipse. It drives great, and looks even better. I'm up in Canada now, and the fact the Mitsu was never sold up here (and its starring role in Fast&theFurious didn't hurt) means I get a lot of attention with my ride. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for style at a reasonable price. The drop top is easy to operate and flawless. The only problem is under heavy rain the roof leaks (Dealer fix: $2000 US). The Eclipse is an awesome ride-the only car where the OLD model looks better and outperforms the current one!
Fun to Drive
The Spyder is a fabulous driving machine, it feels great on the road, moves well. Biggest problem is that the nose hangs too low and scrapes everything. After 5 years with no issues, the convertible motor died and needed to be replaced. Otherwise A+
