Great Daily Driver

I bought this car to go 70 miles each way to work in Northern NJ. I wanted a convertible and I didnt need 350Z performance. I wanted good gas mileage and a car that I could put gas in, change the oil periodically and otherwise forget. I am 63 so a lot of other cars were out. This car has been a very pleasant surprise. I have had no problems with it and it has been fun to drive even in the worst traffic with the worst drivers on the planet. It has decent pickup (GTS 5 Spd) and decent handling. I bought it two years old with 20,000 miles and it came used with a better warranty than almost all US cars come with new. The Eclipse Spyder is a great car if youre looking for a fun convertible to drive that doesnt need a lot of attention.

I traded a Nissan 350Z for this car if you can beleive it. The Z was a lousy daily driver. This is a perfect compromise. It has a smooth as silk ride, decent handling, great fuel economy, and looks awesome. Not to mention the top-down fun. This car is really fun to drive. I love this car. It is the second Eclipse that I have owned, and I love it as much as the first. This car is underrated! Buy one and fall in love!

There is nothing about this car that is bad. The style is great, the interior is great, the power top is great. I can't say enough "great things" about this car.

This is my second Eclipse and despite the handful of negatives I had with my past Eclipse, this one has been great. The exterior style in its class is well above par. The car handles and performs well despite the number of cars in its class that may perform slightly better. The reality is, however, that very few cars can compare in this price range that offer a convertible and don't look as if they were built for your grandparents. The Eclipse is fun to drive, affordable and reliable. To me that is all that matters.

The car handles great, I compare it to a go-cart. It has more power than I need and it has a very smooth ride. We have two full size trucks at our residence and this car has the best ride of any of our vehicles. There is no problem with hydroplaning unlike previous cars I have owned. The interior was designed with every thing at your fingertips and every thing I've ever needed in a car. The backseat is small but my two kids fit back there comfortably(my oldest son is 5'5"). The top is very easy to operate and even if there was something else I didn't like about the Spyder the sporty look with the top down would have sold it.
