Would not buy again
When i got this car i didn't have but 40 some thousand miles, and IT WAS THE WORST mistake of my life buying this car, it runs horrible and has been in and out the shop for the past two years from everything to a new top new tires axles and just about everything under the hood. Does not go in to reverse the best either. cracked dash and sound system is also terrible. Rattles and shakes anytime you hit a bump or a turn.
Good Car
Bought the car new, now has over 150,000 miles on it. Replaced the O2 sensor at about 120,000 so it would pass inspection but everything else is original (except belts and hoses replaced during service). Still uses no oil and runs great. Beginning to see some threads in the top beginning to break, but it still is water tight. I would have to say we got our money's worth out of this car if it quits tomorrow.
- GT ConvertibleMSRP: $3,4002,017 mi away
- GS ConvertibleMSRP: N/A927 mi away
A great car, for a great price.
Performance: Now the 3g Eclipse may not be a top notch performer, but it is pretty good. Especially since it actually has torque compared to some other imports. Compared to the old Eclipses though, with AWD and a turbo, the new Eclipse lacks. There is some aftermarket for the new eclipse coming out though. Comfort: VERY comfortable! Fun to drive: Yeah it is fun to drive, but feels a bit like a sedan. Interior Design: A bit boring, but it beats the Mustang at least. Exterior Design: You either hate it or like it. The pictures of it don't give it much justice, up close the car looks ten times better in my opinion.
Never again
This is my first time ever writing a review on anything and I'm trying to save someone a big headache. This car is a waste!! When it rains the back floors get wet and it's not because of the top (mine was changed twice!!). It has horrible mpg and interior after awhile starts to look real cheap!! This car should def be a 2 seater and what is going on with that trunk? Can't really fit anything that can't fold in there. The second cup holder inside the middle console was a horrible idea.
In love with my Spyder GT!!!
Love it! I just retired my minivan. Hugs the road...fun to drive! Paid only $13k for it used -- just 24,000 miles -- a steal. Mine doesn't have all the frills, but for the price (new or used) it can't be beat in it's class. Looks very elegant...classy. Fun to switch from automatic to manual, without the clutch.
