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 have had my car for approx 9 months and I love Lightning (her name). So far I haven't had any issues, but I am coming from a 2002 Dodge Neon - that gave me nothing but hell after 36K miles. I love the get up on the car for hway driving. The blind spot is a beast, but with attentive lane changes and side mirrors, it is possible to maneuver. It's still early to be sure about reliability, but it seems pretty good with gas. If you have children this car is a no no! I am sure the back seats are just to get an insurance break on being a "four seater". My shorter she-friends sit back there, but a guy (or car seat) would most likely not fit... don't know if it's comfy back there - never been.

Had a 2003 GTS and loved it. Very reliable and very cool. The 2009 Spyder looks hot. The two tone design on grille did the trick. Much cooler than 08 and 07 when you see the car from front. The lights interior and exterior are very excellent in function and design,18 inch alloys - 4.9 on 60. I am styling.
NICE CANADIAN SUMMER TOY

Just traded a Miata for a 2008 with 9,000k. I agree with the purists: the Spyder is not a real sports car (front-wheel drive pretty much closes the argument on that). But it has good looks, great interior, room to spare in driving position and very good performance with the V6 6 speed manual transmission and all this in better than average comfort. The car also made sense budget-wise. I feel I have the best of both worlds: a car that offers sports-like performance and looks with more room and comfort than a lot of more expensive two seaters. Good-looking, but with brains! A word for the torque issue: real, but only if you really push hard the revs, otherwise OK. Mine is triple-black. Love it Update 2020: still own the car. Summer driven, have now 50k. No reliability issues save for the heating/ac fan motor in the dash that became noisy and was changed. Did the timing belt last year as preventive action. That’s it apart from usual maintenance. Paint holding well. No water in light casings . Interior holding well. Top also. In short, still very happy with the car. You find one as well-kept as mine, buy ! Added a wind deflector, it’s worth it with the top down. Also looks nicer if you have extra luggage on the back seat on a long road trip like we did last year. They should still make it. Update September 2022 Nothing new to report. Still no reliability issues. I still like the styling/ride and see no reason to change or update. I also notice that I see them now rarely on the road and I’m starting to think that I might have a nice survivor ! Slowly approaching 60,000miles. Should be good for many years if the car continues to behave as it is. I should add that I got the car in my fifties and always drove it « as a senior » . No high revs, no burning tires, etc. The car is not beat up. It could explain in part its reliability and overall good shape. Update September 2024 I have been prompted by Edmunds to update my review. Nothing new to report. What I said two years ago still apply.
