This is a great and fun car to drive. I set up a high performance air filter and love the sound. It really can push you back in the seat.
BEST LIL SPORTSCAR EVER!

Fun to drive!! Comfortable for travel!! I have never enjoyed any other car as much as this one. My first Mitsubishi and it definitely will not be my last one. Extremely courteous sales and service staff have helped make my Mitsubishi experience a very pleasant one. Car handles like a dream and has required very little maintenance.

I bought my car brand new and so far reliability rating is a 10. Brakes sqeal and always have since I bought the car. Constant problems with sunroof getting stuck and not opening when it does its very jittery. Despite taking it in to dealer several times. Fun car to drive, performance and handling are superb. I get continuous compliments on the sporty appearance.
Unreliable Transmission

I bought this car brand new on 2001 valentine's day. Drove 80K and sold it in 2007. Positive: fun to drive, stylish, V6 is really powerful. Negative: after 10K miles the heat won't work immediately (take 30 mins. This is bad during winter, especially living in NY), transmission problem after 75K (Costs $1200-$3500 depending upon the type of mechanic and new/old part used), there are minor electrical problems, mainly the headlight won't work every 6 months. The power steering takes larger curve. I could never make a smooth U turn in the last 7 years - it was always broken U turn.
Almost perfect

I have had this car approx. 18 months and it has been a great car. The V6 engine has an incredible power band. No 4 cylinder out there (Honda, Toyota, Nissan) no matter what type of valve tricks they do, can compare to the smooth power delivery of this engine. The only area that the Eclipse could be improved is handling. It handles well, and is tuned to satisfy most, but I would prefer a little more aggressive suspension.
