Good, but not great

I've had this car for over a year now. I didn't buy this car to race it and my driving style is actually pretty conservative. Problems I've had in the past year: Clutch was completely replaced at 14,000 miles at MY expense; the sunroof is CRAP, it has a mind of its own and will open and close depending on its mood; the factory tires are CRAP... I had to have mine replaced at 12,000 miles because two of them had large bubbles in the sidewalls; the brakes are crap. At 10,000 miles, I had to have the rotors turned. If you're considering buying this car, I HIGHLY recommend you go to www.neweclipse.org and www.deadeclipse.com to read up on it.

This is a nice car, like the interior and the 210 horses, be careful though, it creeps up in speed without you knowing

I really did like the Eclipse because of the lack of power compared to others in it's class. The new GTS changed my perception. The extra 10 horses makes all the difference in the world. The car is fun to drive and the leather interior is much improved over other models. It's very quick off the line and has solid handeling.

I love this car. I am somewhat biased, since this is my fourth Mitsubishi and I am very brand loyal, and this is for a reason, since these are great cars for the money in styling, performance,and reliability. I like to stick with a good thing, and this is a great car.

It gets up at any speed. I dhave no clue about the rear passengers, but the front is very comfortable and the shifting is very easy and the clutch is fast in response which makes it easy to shift fast. The sound system is good. Handling is ok but the suspension is not that great, but almost all sports cars are like that.

First time buyer and owner of an Eclipse. It fits my lifestyle. I wanted a sporty-look and the interior space available for 3 passengers as I do have a family.

Well, I was more than surprised when I test drove the 2003 Eclipse GT. You feel like your driving a much more expensive car than you really are. If you haven't given the Eclipse a try, this baby has grown up. The V6 sounds awesome and the car is just beautiful to look at. Everyone will want to race you! :)
