My New Little Toy

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

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.

Just a Fling

My wife I loved driving the muscle cars in the late 60's and early 70's. So, speed and acceleration was a consideration. The kids are no longer at home and there was no need for a back seat. We have owned four-door sedans for the past 25 years and decided to take a plunge to the past and enjoy the sporty vehicles we once drove. We looked at a number of other makes. Our considerations included body looks, interior size, engine size, and cost. The cost eliminated many other vehicles, as well as the interior space. It seemed the more sporty, the smaller amount of front seating area. We have had the car for only two months and do enjoy driving it.

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.

I have had this car for almost a year. Pure fun to drive. With two little kids with car seats in the back, I have not had any trouble. Its front wheel drive has come in very handy with the Denver Snow and even in the mountain. I have used it everywhere. The power for a 4 cyl. is great and gas economy is awesome. Sound, everything is great too. I will get another one again! Definitely get the Ipod/MP3 connectivity, it sounds great with the stereo. An Auxiliary jack would complete the story.

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.
