Bought this car two years ago with only 18,000 actual miles on it. I love it!!! Even with driving about 100 mi/wk, it has been totally reliable (no repairs). I live in the country on a gravel road, but am able to maneuver around pot holes that form with ease, it is easily parked in tight spaces, and delightful to drive as the weather allows. For a 2001, it still looks almost new. I "need" a fwd, but I LOVE this car! It moves! Will I trade it? Maybe in 30-40,000 more miles! That should be in about 7 years.

Yep, I just purchased a 2003 Spyder GTS on March 22, 2002. This had been on the lot for only 5 days. The styling is beautiful and turns heads wherever I go. The 6-disc, 210 watt in-dash CD has a great sound. The car came with virtually every option and priced out in excess of $30,000. The 17" wheels give it a great look. The top moves up and down very nicely. The boot is a bit cheap, but looks better than having nothing. Performance is adequate and steering response is very good. I find the drivers seat very comfortable with good headroom.

I bought my 2001 GT convertible used and put 104,000 miles on it. Only repairs have been brakes twice, a new timing belt and water pump (scheduled maintenance), and a starter relay ($6). It is still running strong. These cars do not have a good resale value but I cannot see why. I have had two of them and they are solid little cars.

I have no had problem with this car. Just the usual oil changes and maintenance. Everthing works excellently. It is worth the money that I spent on it. It is the best sporty car I have driven.
fun and stylish

At least to my eyes, the eclipse spider is one of the best looking cars on the road. The powerful engine, tight transmission, and well-tuned suspension also make it amazingly fun to drive. But this car really comes into its own when you hit the button to automatically retract the top- one test drive with the top down and I was sold. This convertible top is very well designed and allows far more headroom in the rear than does the hardtop eclipse (although legroom in the back is still non-existent unless you push the front seats ALL the way forward). If pure performance was the only goal, I would have gone with the Suburu WRX. But it wasn't and I didn't.
