The media will just not give this company any breaks. The public needs to know this car is not only fun and comfortable but it looks great and is VERY reliable. I have driven these vehicles since 1996 and have never had any problems.

I love my GTS Spyder. Living in an area with many curvy 2 lane blacktop roads, it hugs the road beautifully.Since it is only me & my 100 lb dog that ride in it every day, comfort is not an issue. I get great gas mileage and love the summer when I can put the top down. It has great performance from a stop going from 0 to 60 in no time. I have no regrets!!

I got the Eclipse for my first car with 150k for around 2k. First off, it's loud since it's a spyder. it interior and exterior are ok for a sports car of those years. reliability is awesome since its at almost 200k now. its fun and very stiff ride, you will feel all the bumps. You will also feel body roll and over steer when going around corner's fast. The main problems I have with this car is 1 it's FWD which I'm not fond of, and 2 it's hard to find performance parts for.

Bought this used in 2009 with 83k miles on it. Has 142k now & never a minutes trouble out of it. No unexpected repairs just general maintenance, Never once failed me. UPDATE * this car was totaled in a wreak in Sep 2017, it had 170k miles on it and all I had replaced was the MAF, was a great car right up till the end, I now have a 2009 Spider, here’s hoping for the same level of dependability

Doesn't handle like a sports car

The design is very good. Convertible top operation is easy and quick. Its handling however leaves a lot to be desired. It is not very responsive especially for a sporty V6. Its ride is acceptable for a sporty car. The turning radius is terrible. Large trucks have better turning capabilities. The visibility is also very poor with the top up. Given these two factors, backing out of a parking space is always a challenge.

I bought this car to go 70 miles each way to work in Northern NJ. I wanted a convertible and I didn’t 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 6’3” 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 you’re looking for a fun convertible to drive that doesn’t need a lot of attention.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

At first I wasn't keen on the idea of purchasing a convertible but once we had our first really nice day and I took it for a spin with the top down I LOVE IT. Although this car isn't practical if you have a family or do a lot of long distance traveling with other people over all in my opinion it's a eye catching fun little sports car that I'm sure will bring us many years of joyous fun.

Hmm. How can I start.. Within 13,000 miles I had transmission troubles that the dealership had no idea how to fix until 6 months later. At 35,000 miles the transmission had to be replaced completely, since there were massive amounts of metal shards in the fluid. At 45,000 miles the car shook. Took it in for a brake job but the dealer said it was just the rotors so I would be good for a few months before I would need to actually pay for any work.. 2 weeks later I was on interstate 95 and had ZERO brakes. Yeah, I said ZERO. Used "e-brake" to make it to the dealers. Dealer wanted $850 for a new caliper. LOL! PS. if you REALLY want this car, buy a big warranty.

Contrary to Edmunds' review, this car is a bled of sport, and prticality. It handles resonably enough especially after repacing the Goodyear rsa tires with toyo proxes 4. Its fuel economy is good. The styling in and out is great, an easy car to live with. The top and windows go down with one push of the button.exhaust note is sporty. Its not super fast but it does go and the engine has great torque. Its not bad in the snow either. The body integrity is much better than Chrysler Sebring or Mustang which I have had. It has some trade offs as an all out sports car but you get is a tight car, decent handling and acceleration, good looks, space for and occational passenger and good quality. I reccomend this car.

Everyday I climb into my Mitsu Eclipse Spyder, put the top down and play my Beachboys CD cruising to Malibu, I feel like I am in a Ferrari (Red). The car design with the side tunnels takes people by surprise. When it approaches from the front view, they think it is an expensive sports car. When they see the rear, they know it isn't, but seem still impressed. I cannot tell you how many people have said WOW!, that is a nice car. I love mine. I could care less what the experts say. RTS

When i bought the car it had 29,000 miles on it. Right off the bat i had problems with it. The radio started going, along with the speakers. I recently took it ion to the dealership for 2 new front tires, and they said i needed four new complete brakes, the whole set. (drums, rotors, calibers and lines) and they said i will soon need a new front suspension. But this car has been treated immaculately.

I totaled my first Mistsubishi Spyder GS by flipping over. I believe that it was a miracle that I survived. I really believe that because of the body design and safety features is what saved my life. Since then I have replaced it with a new Spyder GTS, now I have side and front air bags. By the way I was wearing my seatbelt, which I would highly suggest for anyone driving a drop top!

I have had two of these cars and I would not recommend them. My first Eclipse was a 2002 Spyder and was constantly in the repair shop for mechanical problems. I thought I had a lemon so I traded it in on another Eclipse and I am having the same problems. My advice - do not buy an Eclipse Sypder, they are nothing but trouble.

We love the convertible top feature, Never having owned a conveertible earlier in life, this is a real treat for us. I like the handling of the car on the open road as there is no or little wind buffering, even from trucks. I do not like the wind spoiler on the trunk as it interfeers with visibility, easpically in night time driving.

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!

This eclipse is the best yet. I have had no problems with this car, except one "cops love it". The V6 is very strong and has smooth shifting in the 5 speed. There are many upgrades you can get to make a monster out of it. The car corners like it is on rails. If you get the spyder you will fall in love with the wind in your hair, & the feel of the open road.

My first Spyder was so much fun and so reliable that wanted another one. And this one continues to be a great car for me. Even though there are tons of them on the road, I still get looks. It's a great design. It's a more refined car than the 1993 model that I passed on to my daughter. It's more comfortable and more powerful. The only car I would consider next time is the Mazda RX-8. But, I'm waiting for a convertible RX-8. Until then, I love this car!

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.

Prior to purchasing my Spyder, I owned an Eagle Talon (same car as an Eclipse) for several years and fell in love with it. In fact, I have 2 children as well as a baby girl and we all enjoy the ride. The lack of rear room has never been a problem for us. It's a beautifully designed car - exquisite! Since I am not a real speed freak, I have been comfortable with the 4 cylinder although I still sometimes wish I'd have bought a 6 cylinder. Using the Sportronic shifting provides a little extra jolt.

IT IS A VERY FUN VEHICLE TO DRIVE, WITHOUT A DOUBT...I PICKED UP THE GT SO I CAN BUILD A CAR MORE POWERFUL THAN THE GTS, TOO BAD ALL SYPDERS DON'T COME WITH SIDE AIR BAGS...I BELEIVE THIS CAR WILL BE A CLASSIC WITH IN THREE YEARS, THE GENERATION 2 OF THE ECLIPSE IS STILL A HOT ITEM, AND WITH THE VEHICLE APPEARING IN THE MOVIE "2FAST AND FURIOUS" WILL HELP THE EFFORTS OF MAKING THIS CAR A CLASSIC BEFORE IT'S TIME...BE SAFE, DRIVE FAST...JK1

I first saw the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT two years ago and decided that the Spyder would be the first new car I'd owned since I was 18. I test drove several used Eclipses, but thought they were over priced in the $10,000 to $20,000 range. When I drove the Spyder, I bought it fifteen minutes later. I've had it for almost six months now and love almost everything about it. I did get ripped off on the GPS Guidepoint system and the alarm which the dealer talked me into buying for $2,200 only to find later the coverage would cost me another $500 a year, and they tripled the price from what I could have got it for privately. Also, the CD Player started skipping the second day.
