This car is in one word FUN! And in the small engine import field "Honda/Accura." Stock vrs Stock the Eclipse GT will Dust most of this competition. It's a great open Highway cruise car. It only sits at 3000rpm at 80mph. Unlike the Hondas and Acrura's. It has that bigger 6 torque pull. The inside is a tad different, and works. It handles good. In fact it can handle some nice curvy roads prety well. The style of this car is one of it finest points. It looks great. But it defiantly don't look like a bubble car that you see everywhere. And it still looks a tad sleeker than say a Mustang.

I bought my Eclipse (2001 Black GT) about a year and a half ago. I try to keep it out of the sun, however the roof is still beginning to fade and crack a little bit. Great fun to drive, could use a little more power but that would sacrifice the decent MPG. Easy to drive. Rear spoiler in the way occasionally, but not too bad. Corner support beam could be a little smaller for better visibility, Great look, great sound. Performance alright for the price range, I would call it a very sporty car, not a sports car. Never had any major mechanical issues, it used idle a little quick but just a minor adjustment. My trunk 'lid' (part separating trunk from cabin) broke, no big deal. Not a bad buy.

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.

This is an awsome car. There is very little more you could want, except maybe the AWD and Turbo offered in years past.
