Used 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Consumer Reviews
Found my tuner
The car has excellent acceleration for a 4 cylinder. The suspension is stiff but yet smooth. There is plenty of room in the trunk for many items. The back seat is a bit cramped, but there is plenty of room up front.
Great Car! Superior Handling/Suspension
Just got this car, everything is perfect. It takes high speeds like it doesn't feel a thing. Smooth ride, quiet, comfortable, fast. I love the body style, and sunroof. The interior lights are under the rear view mirror, no reaching behind you to turn them on and off. I like the orange gages. You hardly have to reach to change the radio station. There are places to store your stuff, and they even light up!

2003 Eclipse GTS
It hauls ass! Very fast car for the money but i do suggest turbocharging it.
Wind Noise, Wind Noise, Wind Noise!!!
The wind noise on both door seals as well as the hatchback is TERRIBLE!! The seals are poorly constructed and placed, and the overall door and hatchback seal is extremely poor. Also leaks water above the door windows when washed. Have been to dealer 3 times in 4 weeks, and was finall told it was a "design thing" and was normal for the 2002 and '03 Eclipses. Have also talked to other Eclipse owners with the same problem.
Give this car more credit.
Most car buying guides recommend a Celica over the Eclipse, and I have no idea why. I test drove both, and while the Celica has a little bit more get up and go at lower speeds, once you pass 55 it starts acting like it's being tortured. The sun, sound and leather package is well worth the money, and the car remains comfortable even over long road trips (there wasn't enough room for my legs in the Celica's front passenger seat). The engine is well presented compared to the reservoir-covered Celica, and feels more like a sports car. The steering is very responsive, and the transmission is easy to manipulate. I'm very happy with it.
