Hottest Convertible

This car has lots of power ... and gets lots of looks! Nice featues such as radio and placement of controls. Decent ride. It's not a small car! Park it next to others and you'd be surprised how big it really is! Plus ... I eat Mustangs any day of the week!

MY FIRST CONVERTIBLE

I've always wanted a convertible and after a lot of research chose the Eclipse Spyder. Wish I'd done it sooner. As long as nothing is falling from the sky my top is down! Heated seats and wind deflector makes it comfy and fun. Has a good sized trunk for a convertible. Back seat for kids only, but my son loves it back there. Handles well and accelerates great. Tried the 4 cylinder first, but went with the 6 despite the octane needed. Definitely more get up and go. The car is definitely an eye-catcher and I just love driving it. I put smaller concave mirrors on both side mirrors and that took care of blind spots. Like glass back window rather than plastic, it could be larger.

Definitely Thrilling to Drive

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.

Nice car, but

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

Love It

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.
