So much fun to drive! Definitely has a blind spot without the top down. To me driving this car in sunny weather is like having a little bit of vacation right on your local streets!

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.

Luv My Spyder

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.

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.

Great Drop Top

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.
