I have owned three convertibles prior to this one and it is by far the best value and hottest looking one I have owned. It is gorgeous, fun-to-drive and and very spacious inside. The top stowage system is superb and works flawlessly. The brakes are great. However, I am not happy that this is such a heavy car with the same horsepower as a Pontiac Solstice, which is half as big. What gives? My engine should have another 100 horsepower to really move. All-in-all, there is no other car to compare at this price. I drove the Miata, Solstice, BMW Z4, 300Z and none have the roomy interior, killer sound system, awesome top and "drool appeal."

Ten years and 55,000 miles, three batteries, 2 sets of tires. I just replaced the clutch which required the engine to be yanked and re-installed. The interior plastic is easily scratched - don't take dogs for a ride! Otherwise, the car has held up great. The Rockford Fosgate sound system is at 500 watts per channel is more than adequate with the subwoofer mounted in the back seat cushion. The car is very quick and agile on windy roads which makes it very fun to drive. Visibility out of the back window when the rood is up is limited by the small oval rear window, but at least it is glass and not Isinglass. The car is solid with no rattles after 10 years which is remarkable in and of itself, but being a convertible makes it even more impressive.

This is a really fun car to drive, The top comes down and back up in 18 seconds with no issues 12 years. Have not had a single repair in the 72,800 miles I have put on it. Replaced the Battery, Tires in 2013 and other than that nothing except the recommended services such as Oil Changes. Vandals sliced open the Convertible top in 2017 and I took it to a Company in Kansas City, KS under insurance. Top King specializes in that kind of work and it is flawless again. I have considered trading it in several times but can find nothing that I would like to have under 50k that would take its place. Paint is like new, some hazing on Headlight covers that I need to take to have detailed.

When looking for a new vehicle I wanted a convertible with front-wheel drive that fit my golf clubs for a reasonable price. This car fits all four criteria. My son always said,"Dad, get a fun car." Well, that's what I got. This car is just a joy to drive-comfortable, quiet, and great sound system with fingertip controls. Personally, my complaint is that now when I need a car to fit four, I don't have one. The complaint about the car itself, though, is the blind spot. It IS difficult to see out the back and side of this car-no doubt. But my criteria was met and if I concern myself with just that, then I made a great choice. I get about 18 mpg locally and 27 highway. And don't forget, it takes premium gas. I get nothing but oohs and ahhs, with this car and I love it.

It's been a really fun car for 6000 miles in 2 months. From Phoenix to Ohio and back, it was great. Not quite enough leg support for longer journeys for tall people, but a small price. I've read multiple reviews here, and those with certain issues should read their owner's manual. It specifically conveys to NOT clean the car via an automated car wash. It specifically conveys that if the CD changer "overheats", it WILL shut down to protect the system. These are really incidentals in the grand scheme. I do wish that I didn't have to take it to a dealer to change the gear box fluid of my 5 speed. I've never done that in my life for cars that went 200K, but it is what it is.
Lovin' it!

Fantastic lil' sports car that turns heads! I purchased this car on a whim, after it caught my eye on a dealer parking lot in Texas. (Sunset Pearlescent). But with such low milage (57000) for a 9 yr. old car and superb handling, styling and of course letting the top down, it was a no Brainer! This is a beautiful fun ride and according to the reviews, I will be enjoying this car for some time to come!

Bought 2007 in 2008 - w/ 8k miles as factory executive used car from local Mitsubishi dealer. Since I was unfamiliar w/ it I wasn't looking for this model - styling and Sunburst Orange color caught my eye. It is very economical to own and often get compliments. I have never owned a car for so long nor so many miles - love driving it w/ top down in the summer. Never driven in the winter - but it does have front wheel drive.

The 2007 Eclipse Spyder is fun to drive. Yes it's not a pure sports car, at the same time it is more functional for everyday use more than the "pure sports car."

Heads are turning as my new 2007 Mitsubishi GT Eclipse Sypder rolls down the road. This new model year vehicle seems to draw a lot of interest from the public - and with good reason - the car is very attractive. I purchased the GT 6-speed manual and have thoroughly enjoyed the power and smooth shifting-ability. It has a nice growl to it as well. This car makes sense for all convertible seekers, but value may be the key. While the back seat is smaller, one can easily fit two small kids comfortably, two small ladies for a drive around town, or extra luggage on a trip. The trunk will fit two golf (mini) bags! Excellent... finally, the stereo - It rocks. Grab some music, flip the top and drive.

Drove several other makes and models before purchasing. This is my first Eclipse. I knew in the first five minutes of the test drive that this was the car I wanted. Lots of power with the 260 hp. Very comfortable seating. I love it.

I just bought this car, and it is so amazing. I have been researching the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder online and decided to purchase a used one. No regrets so far. I haven't driven with the top down yet, so I cannot say much about it. Driving this vehicle is fun. I like the fact that the vehicle is FWD so it is a little bit more easier to drive in the snow.

I originally leased my vehicle back in March 07' After almost 3 years, it's been so reliable and so much fun to drive that I decided to go ahead and purchase it before my lease was up. Great car, just wish it wasn't front wheel drive and had a better turning radius.

This is my second Spyder, I currently have a 1999 Red Convertable Spyder which is still in excellent condition and still gets the looks. We saw the 2007 and needed a second updated Spyder. They both sit in my driveway and I always get comments about the two. The 2007 is much larger and they look cute together. My husband now drives the 1999 and I drive the 2007. He has to ask me to switch every so often. I told him I get enough stares as it is, but with this car, it is amazing how many comments I get about me and the car. Ladies, this is a great pickup car if your interested. I love the quick takeoff, and the sporttronics is fantastic.
Great car!

Started shopping for a two-seater convertible; Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Skye, Nissan 350Z all great cars, but either gutless or too spendy. Found my Spyder, with 3,440 miles, 5 grand less than new and the previous owner had put on 245/35ZR20 low profile tires and 20" rims. No brainer. This car is so much fun to drive, a little more room than a conventional two-seater, handles corners great, the wind doesn't knock it around and the top is much quieter than my Mustang convertible GT was. Comfortable on road trips, excellent exhaust note. Shifting is a breeze and a pleasure. Stereo adjusts automatically when you put the top down, lines are sleek and sporty. Love it all.

This is my second Eclipse Spyder. I bought a new 2001 in 2000. I had to get another one. Mitsubishi has made many improvements. The new one is longer, wider, and taller. It rides great. If you can afford it, stretch and get the GT. The top is great. I have gotten many comments on it. It handles great, rides great, and looks great. It comes with many standard features.

I looked at several convertibles before going with the Spyder. At the end it the Spyder vs. the MINI S. The tonneau top, superior AC, and vastly more comfortable seats gave the nod to the Spyder. The MINI S, although a quicker and tighter ride, was left to someone else willing to pay a hefty premium. The GT has plenty of power although it does not really kick in until the RPMs hit 4,000. Because of this I prefer that the TAC is on the left where I can see it. This comes in handy when playing with the Sportronic AT whilst driving with the top down and Rockford system UP. Go leather and get the heated seats. My dealer loaned me a cloth overnight and the heat was sorely missed.

I bought this spyder new and now have only 23,000 on it. Not much has gone wrong yet. There is a heat shield that rattles because of the Ohio winters and the salt on the roads corroded it loose. It handles quite well for a 4cyl. but wish I had gotten the 6. Gas mileage is good, not great, but what do you want for 170 horses. Needs a place to put your left arm when it is not on the wheel. CD changer would not play some CDs when it got very hot outside, then it fixed its self when it cooled down. Top is well designed and works very fast. Top material seems to be high quality and does not make much noise at highway speeds. Aerodynamics with top down are very good.
Very nice car

The 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a very nice car. It's one of the nicest cars I have owned. I have been told by some people that I work with that the car is for girls, but no way in heck. The only way I would say that it is a female car if it is painted a color like purple or pink.

I bought my '07 Eclipse Spyder in June and it was great until the first incident in September. One rear Bridgstone tire separated the tread at 2,400 miles. Had it been on the front, I would have been injured. This also damaged the rim. I went back to the dealer who stated, "not our problem, it's not covered under the warranty." They directed me to Bridgestone who "did me a favor" by replacing the tire. No one wants to cover the damaged rim due to Mitsubishi putting defective tires on their new car. After only 2,400 miles, I think the dealer could have been more receptive to this dangerous condition. I still love the vehicle, but don't trust my life to the tires. I'll use my own money to replace all four tires now.

So far so good, This is my second Eclipse Spyder from Mitsubishi. It has a nice appearance. I get compliments from all who see it, even strangers in parking lots. Hopefully the interior will hold up better then the '01 model. I wasn't going to buy anoher one, I waited over a year for the new Pontiac G6 convertible...what a disappointment. I left the Pontiac dealer and drove back to Mitsubishi. I went down to a 4-cyl. from the V6 I was used to driving, but the power was great. The V6 felt great. This car does not have a lot of people room, but it has plenty of shopping room. It has very sensitive controls. I am glad they got rid of the Infinity sound system. Overall I give this car a 9.5.
Fun Car!

I live in Colorado and wanted a sporty convertible that could be driven all year, even in snow. I wanted a little extra room to carry things on a road trip. I wanted an easy roof to put up and take down. Lastly, good gas mileage. This car does it all! The front wheel drive got me through every snowstorm last winter. We just completed a 2500 mile road trip and carried a bunch of family heirlooms in the trunk and back seat. We averaged 26.5 MPG with the four cylinder driving 4 mph over the limit all the time. The top goes up or down in 17 seconds with no tucking or booting, can be done at a stop light.It is the only new car I have ever purchased that hasn't been back to the dealer for warranty.

I have arrive...again! I owned a '92 Mitsubishi VR4, I missed it until October 2006, when I tested drove the 2007 Spyder, I drove out of the lot that night, while I was there to see another car with my cousin for his wife. The car drives with a feeling of hugging the road which is a good feeling when shifting yes the 6-speed. Girls rule. While the 9 speakers, heated leather seats 6 changer CD MP3 player along with the convertible brings it all into one place and time of being a wonderful driving machine. Oh yeah, should I mention the sweet purr of power with that V6 engine. Sweet! Girls rule with this machine (boys get jealous! LOL). In all the car is a beast amongst the others and it's affordable.

I have only had my '07 Eclipse for a little over a month. But so far..WOW. The design is nice. The back end looks great. The front end could use a little spicing up. The inteior design is nothing short of great. The sound system is dynamic. The top is easy to open and close and the it tucks away semlessly. The 4-cylinder leaves a little to be desired on power in takeoffs, BUT..again, I bought it for fuel economy. So the trade off is OK. The bottom line is: as a motorcycle rider, this is just as much fun and I don't have to put my feet down at a stop sign!

I bought my Spyder back in July and have loved it ever since. I live in the mountains and on the days I can't be on my motorcycle this substitutes pretty well. The only draw back is my wife slid into a curb at 15 miles an hour on ice and let's just say that was on 12/01 and I might see it again next year.

I was in the market for a new summer car and the Eclipse Sypder was one of many options I was considering. After careful review and a pleasant Mitsubishi dealer I purchased my 2007 Eclipse Sypder GT right off the showroom floor. I left the next day and went to Texas on a road trip and this car is amazing to drive. It handles well and has plenty of power. I went to San Antonio, TX so once there I was able to put the top down and really enjoy the car.

2007 Bought new. Fun to drive year-round. Turns heads. I installed a rear camera to stay on when the lights are on. This eliminates the visibility problem when the top is up. Consider the rear seat a padded cargo area. Good for golf clubs, folding wheel chair, surf board, etc. I’ll probably never sell this car. Had a problem with the top alarm staying on. It was just a fuse.

After looking at many others we love this vehicle. It is appropriately powered allowing its acceleration to be smooth and consistent while the handling is precise and effortless, all adding up to an outstanding driving experience. Its updated styling inside and out appeals to all age groups - including this 50ish couple who love to drive lots of different vehicles. Its gas mileage is good even considering the need to use premium fuel. I appreciate the attention to detail and ease of maintenance.

I loved this car when I bought it brand new, however, there are too many blind spots when driving with the top up. I have had this car for 8 months and I have to take it in, the top hydraulic system is out already and needs to be checked. I feel the frame of the car is weak. The car is so low that the nose scraps on everything. This car is an accident waiting to happen with all the blind spots. Other than that, the car is beautiful and gets lots of looks

I was looking at the Solstice, Sky and the Mustang. The quality and materials of the American cars are nothing compared to the Japanese. Also, the shifting was much tighter in the Eclipse than any of the others. Plus, you get 6 gears with the Mitsubishi and 5 with the American models.

This will be my 4th Mitsubishi and I've said it before and I'll say it again...they are highly under rated! I have no complaints about any of them. I had two 30000GTs, then I bought an 06 Elipse that I loved and now I will be picking up my new 2007 GT convertible and I can't wait! It only has 25K miles on it so it's practically new. Its red with black leather and 6speed! I'm going to have alot of fun this summer!!!! I know already from reading all the reviews that this will be another great car from Mitsubishi!

This is my first car. I have mixed opinions on this car. Mine is black with grey interior and tan roof. Some Pro's are -Good heated seats, - Good stereo system, - Excellent brakes, - Good Handling. The Con's are -Terrible roof, I have 8 tears in it from the roof being defective. Getting it replaced under warranty is apparently 1 in a million chance but a new one is $1600 + labor. Good luck with that. - TERRIBLE ACCELERATION, it's almost a joke. -Underpowered so much that when you have passengers gas mileage is about 17 to the gallon. -Rattles everywhere. -Backseat too small -Cheap to the touch. -Top leaks in car washes and can't be patched or fixed without buying a new one. Do not buy this car

My wife has always said she loved spyders and pushed me to get one until I finally gave up. I was driving by when I saw the 2007 Eclipse and decided to stop. I fell in love with this car as soon as I sat in it. I took it home to the wife and she was in complete shock that I broke down and got it! Riding around town with the top down is just great and this car will turn heads!

Have had the car for nearly a month, but half of the time has been at the dealer with steering problems. The car pulls to the left, pulls really hard in the left lane of a 5 lane freeway and as you move to the right, to the far right lane, still pulls left. Has been test driven by several dealer service people including a Mitsubishi engineer and a frame shop alignment specialist. The cars, as it turns out is designed that way, there is no correction. The car is very fatiguing to drive. The fabric seats are also very hot, don't breath. May have to return the car. Test drove 5 of the cars, they all do it and the engineer agrees. Hard to believe but they have designed cars that pull left.

I hated the Eclipse Spyder from 2000-2005, I had a 1999 one that I loved but traded it in when my son was born. I saw the 2007 and drooled when I test drove it. I can't stop driving it and I live in Vegas so I have the top down a lot. With all my driving I'm spending too much money on gas :(. The stereo system is awesome and I love the blue back lit dashboard at night!

This is my third Eclipse Spyder. I had an '01 and '03, and by far this is the best one ever! From the inside to the out, I am in love with the new style. At 48 years old I feel like a school kid again. And the comments that I'm getting on this car are remarkable. It is more soild than the past Spyders and it is great to drive. This car is a keeper in my book.

This car is not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. I get stopped by neighbors every day telling me how nice my car is. The car drives very smoothly. As far as the power goes, I stepped into this car from owning a V8 truck and with the manual transmission and I don't feel the difference except for in my wallet at the gas pump! I love my 2007 Mitsubishi Spyder.

I must say I may be biased, as it took one 10 minute test drive to win my heart. Acually, to be fair, I think I fell in love with this car from the moment I first laid eyes on it's sleek lines and daunting 18" wheels. Driving the car just renewed my faith in the ability of an attainable car bringing a smile to my face on all levels. From the well built interior to the formidable performace, this car will not disappoint.

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!
Awesome convertible for the money

I purchased the new Eclipse after looking at several other choices in the convertible area, namely the 350Z and the Solara. After test-driving the three cars I chose the Eclipse mainly because the bang for the buck factor. The Solara was just as expensive but bland, slow, and ugly. The Z was great but too much money (it was a tough choice between the two). The eclipse has tons of power and torque, a great sound system, and IMO unique but great styling.

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.

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.
IN LOVE

I have been wanting this car since I started driving. I was looking at the previous generation models and they were nice, because I figured I couldn't afford a new one. However, they are very affordable, and I was able to get a 2007. So far I am loving this car as I knew I would, Sunset Pearlescent color is amazing, V6 is more than enough, very comfortable (except in the back seat, but I didn't buy it for people to ride in the back). I got used to the blind spots within days.

Even the 2.4L four cyl. is fun but the power band does not even start untill 3,500 RPM. This car gets great gas milage, which is the only reason not to get the 3.6L. Maybe a cold air intake and a new chip will wake up the engine. It also has a lot of torque steer.
