Price vs. Value caused me to invest in a Spyder GTS over a Lexus SC430. While I will miss being seen in my Mercedes 560SL I really prefer driving the SPY

Great Design... poor performance

First off I will state i have been totally loyal to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Eclipse since the debut, and in fact I have owned nothing but Eclipse's starting with the 1993 Eclipse. The 2004 is an awesome body style, definitly fun to drive. You will love all the looks you get on the street. However, Performance has become an issue. Acceleration is really a drag from a dead stop, and if you buy an automatic the gears shift a lil early for my taste, so i recommend buying the 5-speed. So though i am proud to have bought it, i'd say over all I'm disappointed with this years Eclipse, I say go back to the second generation Eclipse..those were real cars.

I love this car, it has plenty of power for a 4 cylinder, it's quick and responsive especially on bends, my husband loves to drive it, my son and daughter both love driving it, too. It drives like a sports car - low and tight and sticks to the road. Dropping the top couldn't be easier, and it's a blast to drive around with the top down, very little wind in your face. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this car to anyone who wants something fun to drive that is reliable and affordable and absolutely beautiful!

We drove the car once and bought it.The car is nice looking and feels like a good car. It has not even been 1 year, we have had to replace a fuel pump (on our road trip in FL). The lock never worked properly, the seatbelts always getting stuck. The passenger side seat needed to be fixed. When accelerating the car bucks and when we brought it in to be fixed on Saturday they did not have the tech. to fix the issue. This car has been one problem after the other. There definitely is not enough trunk space or room in the backseat. One adult in the backseat makes everyone uncomfortable in the car. Also the air conditioner has had to be recharged already. No grill on the front pulls debris directly into the engine.
