Used 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Consumer Reviews
03 RS Eclipse still running fine
It's been a fun car with enough acceleration to drive however you want (manual transmission). With only a 4 banger, it gets almost "green car" gas mileage. A perfect blend of mpg and acceleration. When I test drove the automatic, it didn't respond how I wanted to drive. Its easy to work on, the spark plugs and oil changes are easy access. Its had 112,000 miles driven in about 5 years. No problems with regular maintrnance. Now if only my wife would learn to drive stick shift.
Love to drive!
I LOVE my '03 GS, it's everything I wanted in a car...fun to drive, cute, sporty, reliable, zippy, economical. Wish I had a longer commute to work. Does 55+ MPH "like buttah!"

Happy with my 2nd Eclipse
No problems to speak of yet with 19,000 miles on my '01
POOREST PERFORMANCE
The eclipse's had a sharp exterior and interior design but the performance is not too good for me. Its a V6 engine 200hp but not really kicks'in on the road. When i first drive the eclipse it gives me a little impressive but when i test drive the other sport coupes ive saw some more power to kicks'in than my eclipse But its ok i still love this car of course!!!=)
You Will Love the Eclipse GTS!!
This is a Fun sportscar...drives well...haven't come upon anything I don't like with this car yet! It looks great, drives great! I just love it! Having owned a GT Eclipse in 98, this is a huge improvement...on style, driving ability...just all around a real fun car to drive!!
Greatest car ever
I have to say that this is the greatest car ever. I am in love with it
I'm Quick
My 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is a great car. The price was nice, and the acceleration is great. It is hard to drive it slowly. It wants to haul. And it does! I would recomend it to anyone looking for a sweet ride that is just as reliable as it is fast.
Good, solid car & looks and drives great
I just got the GTS, 5-speed about 2 months ago. A little late maybe. But it's what I could afford. I think this car is very solid and runs great. As long as you keep up on your oil changes, and put premium in it like the owners manual suggests. The first thing I noticed because I immediately drove it on the highway was it takes a while to find a comfortable adjustment on your seat in conjunction with using the clutch as well as sitting for prolonged periods of times. My back hurt for about a week in beginning to drive it. It's fast though, for sure. This car packs a punch! I haven't had it long enough to really even encounter mechanical problems... *knock on wood*.
Fun Car!
My Eclipse GS has 105,000 miles (got it with 35,000). It has been pretty reliable, besides doing some maintenance which isn't cheap. Other than that, it is an extremely fun car to drive. Moon roof open, windows down, it makes you feel good. Acceleration sounds awesome, even on the highway. When you sit in the driver's seat, you know you're in a sports car. It's OK in New England winter, but AWESOME in the summer!
Couldn't Have Hoped For A Better Car!
What can i say about this car... not only is it a HOT car, but I got it under the zero payments for 390 days and zero interest ever, great incentive! Im a college student in a new location and I needed a car that would be reliable, but fun too... I debated between the Eclipse, Celica, and Acura RSX. After driving all of em I found that the Eclipse was the best car, and man am I glad I chose it! I got the upgraded stereo AND ITS AWESOME! Great young guy car! By the way... Edmunds.com was more than helpful when choosing the right car!
