My Pet Spyder
I've owned my Spyder for two weeks and I'm in love. I find it hard to keep my hands off her leather-wrapped steering wheel. This car is very fun to drive with very responsive steering, amazing acceleration for a 4-cyl., a satin smooth suspension, and a stereo system so AWESOME that my friend described it as wearing top quality headphones. With the top down, wind noise is no problem for the stereo system. Can anyone find the 9- speakers? I've only found 7 of the 9. Everyone teases me about the basically unusable back seats, but I call it the dedicated sub-woofer space. Everybody thinks this car cost twice what it cost me, in other words this convertible is a fantastic value too. I'm lovin' It!
Unexpected
For the money the Eclipse Spyder GT is incredibly fast. From stop light to stop light it makes 400 hp cars mad. The service dept. said it goes 0-60 in 5.2 to 5.5 seconds. The looks quality and handling feels like a $60,000 automobile. I feel like I got more than my money's worth on this one. It gets second looks every time I drive it.

I Love This Car
I love driving my Eclipse Spyder. It's fast and just a blast to drive. It also has a great sound system, heated seats, and so much more. Mitsubishi has also improved the turning in the new Eclipse. They have also made the car a lot more like a sports car then before. You will love this car.
2007 Eclipse Spyder
This is a great fun car to drive. It has great handling on the roadways. I have had many compliments on the style. Some people had asked me if it was a Porsche.
#1 Dream
Everything about this car is a joy. I am proud of the looks, the quality and the comfort.
Fun Car!
This car is FUN! It has power and pizazz. After driving a Corolla for 12 years, I was looking for something different -- and I got it!
Mitsubishievo's Eclipse Review
This car is so totally awesome. It's the best car I could have gotten besides my Evo of course, but still it's a really good car to me.
Car of my dreams
I have wanted this car for ten years and bought it brand new off the lot. Have really enjoyed having it. I have a four year old daughter and it is somewhat friendly even for her. The top is easy to put up and down. It handles like a dream and I drive it hard. It is really good on the road with wind not blown all over the place and the safty features are great.
Love It
I just traded in my '03 Jetta GLI VR6 6 speed for my new Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. I was tired of the sunroof and wanted a drop top. I wanted something with some speed. I looked at the Solstice for its looks but I didn't want a GM vehicle. I looked at the Mustang but they are everywhere. Finally, I found the Eclipse and I fell for it. It truly is my dream car. There is very little I would change about it.
I am Back into the Spyder
I owed an Eclipse Spyder in the past and I loved it. This is still new to me and I have had the chance to drive it around the city and I love it. It is a little loud when shifting, but it's awesome.
Great car - should have gotten one sooner
Just picked up a new Spyder after trying both the Spyder as well as the Solstice. Spyder wins hands down in many areas not the least of which is comfort.
The Spyder is Back
I just purchased this car and I really have not had a chance to drive it much, but when I test drove the car it rode nicely. I used to own a 2005 and I loved it. I love the total makeover of the car.
Fast, Fun, and Exciting
What's more is there to say about the 2007 Eclipse Spyder than it's Fast, Fun, and Exciting to drive! Everything about the car is great from the exterior design to the Rockford Fosgate 650 watt stereo with the subwoofer built into the backseat! If you're in the market for a convertible check out the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, you won't be disappointed!
Great Car
Great car, fun to drive.
Eclipse Spyder 2007 they got it right
The six speed manual performes smoothly. Torque is impressive in all gears. Convertible top operates like magic. Rear seating is very limited. Makes my daily commute to work a pleasure. The lines of the car are distinctive and will get you second looks. Little torque steering from front wheel drive.
What a Car!
Fifth consecutive Eclipse, by far the best. Hard to believe actually! So fast, and even with the 18" wheels, rides very well in our rough NJ pavement. Cuts corners like a pro, shift throws are short, braking is strong. Fuel mileage is so-so compared to my last GT 5-speed, but it makes up for it in sheer power. Thanks Mitsu for finally installilng a REAL sound system, heated seats, a windscreen, auto climate control, and an automatic boot cover. Those few things totally transform the car and make it feel much more expensive than it actually is. Love this car!
Glad It's Back
Before buying my 07 Spyder I first drove the Ford Mustang and then Pontiac GXP Solstice. Great body design on the Spyder had me at first glance. The first 3 minutes behind the wheel of the Spyder convinced me. Lot's of power with 260 hp v6 engine, comfortable seats and just plain fun to drive. I felt like a kid again. Something I was expecting from the Mustang or the GXP, but they failed to provide. My first Mitsubishi, sorry it took me so long.
Better than I thought
This car is more comfortable than my 2004 spyder and rides smoother. It has more power and the gas mileage is incredible. The best I've gotten on the highway so far is 31 mpg. The worst I've seen in the city was 21 and I was moving pretty quick. I just wish they made more kits for it.
Love This Car!
I cannot tell you how much I have loved driving this car. It is the best convertible on the market, bar none! It is gorgeous, drives smooth and fast, and safe to boot. I have no hesitations recommending this car. You will love it!!
Fantastico
This car is a play toy for the wife and me. Got the automatic for her, but no regrets. Between the V6 and the Sportronic mode I can have my fun. Love the looks, power, handling and that awesome stereo. Plenty of room in the front seats. The back seat is for kids only, but hey it's a convertible. It's not supposed to be practical. A great fun car to cruise the scenic backroads with. The sunset pearlescent paint and the body style really gets attention. This is the most expensive car we have ever bought. It has all the options.
Fun To Drive
I recently upgraded to the Eclipse from an 02 lLancer. I bought the car a few days ago and have already fallen in love with it. Even with the 4 cyl. it has a lot of get up and go. I was very surprised with the power that little 4-banger put out. The leather interior and instrumentation are amazing.
No words to describe
This car has the looks, the power and the reputation to hold its own on the road. Every person that sees me with this car thinks that it costs much more than it actually does. This is my first convertible, and all I can say is that I feel like a new person with this car.
My Red Pearl
I love driving this car! Love the look, the color, and the looks I get while driving it don't hurt either. I like the fact that my hair doesn't blow around very much with the top down. I'm disappointed with the nose mask. It's very difficult to put it on and it does not stay put! The paint is already damaged as a result. The mask is badly designed and unnecessarily complicated to use. I love the electric roof but so far, it has stuck in an awkward position 4 times. The 3rd time it was towed to the dealership, they found the problem and showed me how to fix it myself the next time!
Once Again, I Love My Car
The trunk is big enough for all of my and my son's luggage when we go to the airport. The car is fun to drive, but most of all I love the stereo. I can fit about 140 songs on an MP3 CD, and the in-dash will take 6 of them, so there's no need for an iPod. After almost 18 months though, there is a rattle from the subwoofer at certain frequencies. Taking it tomorrow to get that fixed under warranty. All in all, I love this car! It's not perfect, but fun to drive.
my spyder
I own an Endevor and the quality of that made me look at the Spyder. I'm very happy with this car. The speed and handling is very acceptable. You don't buy this car for backseat space. Overall, so far I have really had no problems with this car. My wife loves driving it also and my friends are very impressed with the stereo and the sleek sexy look of it. The convertible drops down so smooth and tucks away in the trunk.
A car that looks and performs well
This vehicle is fun! The lack of features excluded at purchase can be dishearting but can be made up in the overall performance of the vehicle. In my first year of ownership, regular oil changes have maintained a smooth running vechile. The only real problems I have experienced is with the steering radius and electronic drop top. Small cosmetic pieces popping off were an issue. Thus far, the eclipse is a realiable vehicle.
A fun ride
Bought the car used as a summer car for fun outings. There have been no maintenance issues. The car is peppy and responsive. The only down side is poor visibility to the rear when the top is up. I would buy the car again

15 Yrs old and still beautiful and smooth!
I bought this car used. It was beautiful then and it's beautiful now ! Still turning heads when I drive it. People can't believe it. I have 155,000 miles on it. Just replaced the water pump and belts. Timing belt was replaced two years ago. I love the way it hugs the road in the summer and to ride in it with the top down is so much fun! I looks sporty. The Sub woofer in the back seat really blares out the sound and I love the 5 disc CD! I store it in the winter and can't wait to get back into it each Spring!

Fun to drive, bad blind spots
Absolutely love this car! Got it for better fuel economy (traded an Xterra), and I get about 300 miles to a tank, more on the highway (though not too much more). The car is just a joy to own and drive. No unscheduled maintenance needed yet, but the vehicle is young (9 months so far). The convertible top folds down very quickly - ~19 seconds. All that said, there are complaints. See suggested improvements
Over the Mustang
We test drove the 350Z. It had no interior room. Then we tried the Soltice. Nope, it needs a bigger engine. The Mustang nice, but it uses old technology and gets poor gas mileage. The Mini Cooper is to yuppy. The Honda 2000 is a faster Miata, but it is too small, The Mazda RX-8 is very unconfortable. Its arm rest is too high, it has a quirky engine, and the air didn't work very well. The Toyota Solara made for Grandmas. The Corvette is too common. At last we come to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider. It is a fun, sporty car that my wife and I love. It's our weekend cruiser. It's fast, comfortable, sporty, and I love how the top is buried.
Poor Top Quality
I bought my car brand new in 2007 and have been nothing but disappointed since. I had to take it back to the dealer 3 times in the first month, and had to fight to get anything fixed on it. I noticed some slight tears in my top at about 60,100 miles and when I took it to the dealer and they told me the car was no longer under warranty even though I purchased it with 596 miles on it. They refused to fix it even though it is obvious its their mistake. All I can say is I will never buy any Mitsubishi again.
