Best car ever (under 30k)
I love my car like no other. It is fast, comfortable, fast, looks awesome and is really fast. I love this car and always will.
Jeff's Jiggetdy Review
I have owned my 2001 GT Eclipse for nearly two years now. I love driving this car. The 5-speed transmission is very smooth and easy to shift on the fly. The throaty V6 exhaust sounds spectacular-people can hear you from a mile away). The headlights look nice, but the outer coverings are some type of hard plastic and scratch up easily. The bad things about this car are the brakes squeal at low speeds (since day 1),the sunroof jitters when going back (I've taken it to the dealer twice & it still happens). The rear hatchback doesn't really rise on it's own. You have to literally PULL it up (the gas struts aren't strong enough)
HOT ROD TO GO!
This is my second red Eclipse. I originally purchased one in 1996,and had no problems. My 2001 GT is even better looking than my first! I am in my 50's, but feel like a teenager all over again in this sporty car. The car still turns people's heads, and everyone assumes it's a high dollar auto! Four years later, and everyone still asks, "Is your car new???"
2001 Eclipse GT
The Eclipse GT is a solid "fun-ride". It looks great inside and out. The fuel economy is good. I have had no problems with mine except the drivers window sticking a little in cold weather.
Fun to drive if you like slow cars
Ever get behind the wheel of a 99 GTP? No? Okay then you don't know where I'm coming from. This car is fun to drive yet unresponsive if you didn't break it in right. Great car, I'd recommend it to anyone. Reliability is top notch!
