Used 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 2dr Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Great Car
I've owned this car for four years now and absolutely love it. It is a heavy car which is great in winter driving conditions as well.
Still love it!
After two years of ownership, I still look at my 2000 Eclipse the same way I did when I got it. "Buyers' Remorse" has yet to set in. Although it's considered a bit older design now, it still looks pretty on the road and can proudly be displayed right up front in any parking lot. With proper care and maintenance I've had no problems. She rides smoothly on the highway and has the power when I need it. North American car makers should've taken note...the Eclipse is a sweet looking car that's fun to drive at a very reasonalble price. This is a winning combination. Given the choice over again I would have NO hesitation on purchasing the same vehicle.

First Car
I love everything about this car -- performance, looks, and reliability. The V6 w/ 5 spd is awesome. The tranny is very smooth. The infinity sound system is sweet! The suspension handles well, although I wish it were a little stiffer. I have aftermarket wheels on it, since the stock wheels were not my favorite, but other than that the exterior design of this car is awesome. The modern look of the interior and dashboard makes it a fun car to be in.
Don't buy this car
This car was fun for about the first month. Then, it started falling apart a the seams. There are so many dash rattles and interior clunks and noises that I don't even drive this car anymore. Shifting is clumsy due to a poorly adjusted clutch. The engine weakens significantly with age. The handling could use work as well, cornering dynamics change badly with throttle changes. I've heard rust is also a problem, especially along structural seams in the engine compartment. This car was not worth the 22k I paid for it.
Love the car
As a whole the car is great, needs a little more power...
