A luxurious ride for the money, with wonderful seats comparable to much more expensive cars I have owned, great stereo, ample power and smooth transmission. A little slow out of the blocks and a not-so-tight turning radius are my only complaints. Minimal wind sound. Economical, extremely dependable--not a rattle, nothing to have them fix on scheduled maintenance trips. And it looks great. Oh, EASY to use top with a glass window which has a defroster. All in all, luxury in looks, feel, drive, and dependability.
It will turn heads!

This car looks good from the outside with the top up or down. Good stock sound system and comfortable for long rides.

After reading the expert reviews I was a little leary about buying a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. However, I got a deal I couldn't turn down and have since enjoyed it immensely. If I wanted a backseat and a lot of trunk space I wouldn't have bought a convertible. This is a great car to drive. The V6 engine accelerates smoothly and handles fairly well. It is quite comfortable for the driver and passenger with easy to use controls. The convertible top is easy and quick to raise and lower and with the top down, there is minimal problems with the wind. Overall this is a great car and a lot of fun to drive. I am glad I ended up buying it.
Love to drive

I have owned several dating back to 1996 they are great reliable cars that are fun to drive, the media always gives Mits bad press on old issues and fails to tell the public what really great cars they are
Mid-life crisis convertible

Just kidding. I was looking for a good value. I totally lucked out. I'm writing this in 2019 for a 2004. I found a really well kept and maintained Spyder. I bought it with 52,000 miles. This car is sound, pretty, and fun to drive. I'm good with the gas mileage. I love the style and with the top down its just plain sexy. I like the sound system and the gauges in the cockpit. I really like the bucket seats and the handling. This is my poor man's Ferrari. I plan on taking great care of this car. First up is the 60,000 mile maintenance. It will cost me around $1500 to do the timing belt, water pump, etc... But because this car is so damn fun and sexy I do not begrudge the maintenence in the least. I hope to keep this car running strong until she is a classic lol. Should be soon, within the next decade.
