I just bought this car but I've been eyeing it for about a year. I am so happy that it is finally mine!!! It's fully loaded which is great except I wanted a 5 speed. If you buy this car, you have to get a manual transmission, it is so much more fun to drive. This car is awesome.
Great ... so far

I was hesitant originally due to reliability concerns. Also was told that the rear seats were unlivable and that a convertible was useless in bad weather. But so far I'm very pleased. A 600mile road trip in a driving rainstorm on I95 with a tall adult passenger in the back seat went well. The fit/finish seem great and I've had no problems so far. And, obviously it's great fun on a sunny day. Acceleration is good; handling is very good, nice 6-CD player, and an easy top-down system. Add to that a decent price, and great financing, lead me to highly recommend the SpyderGTS...if you don't mind the compliments and attention you receive.

What a ride! FUN FUN. What power, it blows away Mustang Gts. Handle like a racing car. With the sun roof, could have more head room, but that is the only flaw

Fun to drive, sporty looking while the 4 cyl 5 speed manual offers enough pep for my 16 year old daughter as well as insurance coverage in a catagory 4

Convertible, sporty and fun to drive. What else can you say? The $2000 rebate and 7 year/100000 mile powertrain warranty made it even a better deal.

I bought this car back in March and was initially happy with it, but as time went on I became more and more frustrated with the very poor low-end HP and torque. Sure, once ya get the thing about 4000 rpm, it pulls fairly well, but getting to that point is torture. Mash the accelerator anything under 4000 rpm and the thing just dogs. The car handles corners very well and is fun to drive in that aspect. Another compliant is the awful turning radius. By far the worst in that aspect of any car I have driven. Any U-turn is impossible without having to backup at least once.
Only The Best!

This is a wonderful car great for a teenager just wanting to get out and drive away from home(then come back to you for money or food). Just Kidding. My dauter loves her new car.

The Eclipse Spyder is my first convertible and it has been a blast. Fast and fun. Touch the gas and you fly. I've had no problems whatsoever except for the rims.. they easily bend but are probably not meant for a New England winter.

I really like this car. The only downfall i see is the performance and pick up off the line.. I had a 1999 Chevy cavilear 5 speed and i feel my cavilear was alot faster off the line..other than that i have no complaints. this will be my last 4 cyl. car though
man i love it

An extremely fun car to drive. V6 with top down makes for great convertible experience. Have received numerous compliments on the street from folks. Don't go too fast over bumps or through dips or you'll scrape/bend the heck out of the bottom. Awesome exterior design, engine, and wheels. Interior needs upgrading.
Fun in all weather conditions!

Drive about 600km a week, back and forth to work, in all types of Canadian maritime weather. Car handles well, even with the all season tires that come with the car. Feels sure footed in all road conditions. Tires wear out quickly, about 40000km, so wouldn't attempt second season of hwy driving with replacements.
a super fun sports car

The 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS-- you have to drive this car to appreciate how incredibly "creamy" it is. That's how my wife describes everything about this car. From its smooth, powerful 210hp v6 and computer- controlled sportronic auto/manual transmission to its great lines outside and inside. A great 4 passenger convertible-you have to check this out. Nice trunk, and the backseat is totally functional--don't let the Edmunds review mislead you. Go straight to the fully loaded GTS model--you will not be sorry. A fully loaded luxury sportcar for $28,465, about $1700 under sticker, and you can't argue with that 2.9% financing. Go for it.

Great performance, no mechanical problems, I bought my car new in 2003 and it's been the best thing I could have done! I had actually just bought a Subaru when I saw this car and fell in love with it (it's the light green one.) So I traded in the subaru and never looked back. The only work I've had to do is replace the battery after 4+ years. Oh and the shocks at 40,000, but that's my fault, not the car's. I lived on a long, very washboard dirt road for 2 years and drove that road every day. I've never pampered my car, I've taken it camping, on dirt trails, everywhere - it's great! And it's running sweet to this day. No plans to trade it in any time soon! Just don't try it in the snow!
Great Car

The eclipse spyder could not be more fun to drive. It makes you feel sexy and fun! It also drives well, and has a purr when the engine is running. Besides the outrageous price I paid, I love the car!

Absolutely love everything about this vehicle! The only downside is I happen to have chosen the black Mitsubishi Spyder which between 2001 and 2005 has top coat adhesion issues.

My husband bought me my car as a surprise! He replaced the cloth seats with electric leather seats and new motor, new top, new paint and we really are having a blast in our 70’s with this five speed toy!!!! Fantastic mileage with the fuel.

I have gone from a 69 camaro, then a 2000 celica, which I loved, and now I am in love and lust with this convertible. I am an extreme speeder, last 2 tickets in the 100's I just wish it cornered as well as the celica or that the celica was a V6 convertible. Does life get better then shopping in SF with the top down, my blond hair flowing with the wind while driving at high speeds up and down e

I bought this car for myself for my birthday! What a great gift!!! When I got into the car to drive, I knew immediately I had to have it. Not only was it quick, but it was comfortable to drive. Of course, I drove it off the lot that day!! I am so happy with my purchase and all my friends say "that car is sooooo you!" and that makes me know I made the right decision.

I bought this car from Fremont Mitsubishi, CA. The sales staff was TERRABLE !!! No one knew anything!!! I had to research all options, trims, and any questions I had, I had to find out on my own. NO ONE in that dealership helped at all. In the end through dealing only with the New General manager did I finally get my car. (everyone else we had delt with had vanished)

I have had nothing but problems with this car! I cannot wait to get rid of it! It is hard to see out of the back window, the top leaks, and it is the most uncomfortable car that I have ever owned!
