Used 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Convertible Consumer Reviews
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.
Spyder Fun
This is my second Spyder, the first being a 2003. Love this newer model with all of its perks. Fun to drive and quite a beauty on the road.

09 GS Spyder Great Ride
This is a serious head turner. Feels like a high end sports car without the high end price. Fast, and furious handles great, drop the GT and your high test and go for the GS with regular gas you will not be sorry. Upgrades for 2010 were a bummer as key issues were solved - wish I had waited, but they were pricey. Acceleration around corners is nothing but WICKED!!
Great entry level sports car
I bought the 2007 GS for my daughter and decided to upgrade to the GT Spyder. I'm glad I did. A very quick car for its weight and a blast to drive, especially with the top down! This car looks great and feels great. Hopefully my daughter doesn't drive it like I do.
GRANNY'S NEW TOY
Just purchased the GS convertible 2 mos ago. What a blast driving this thing. Always have a smile on my face. Wish I had bought it sooner as the winter is here and cannot enjoy the top down. Good acceleration and handling. Back seat space for sitting is limited, and hard to get things in and out of, but decent trunk space. I'm having issues with fogging on the inside of the front window after it rains (don't have access to garage parking). I'm going to get a cover to see if that helps. Also when it rains the water drips into the car if you put the windows down. Got space for a car seat since I'm a new grandma, so I will enjoy for years.
