2006 Eclipse GT
Have only had for 2 weeks and have only put 445 miles on it but so far I love it. I like the red/blue dash lights. The drivers seat is very comfortable although I have not taken it on any long trips yet. Gas mileage could be better but if I was really concerned about it I would not of got it. Forget about putting anyone in the back seat. Where I have the drivers seat there is about 2 inches left. It's very fun to drive and is fast. The car really takes off in 2nd and 3rd at 4,000 rpm's. I got the Rockford/fosgate system and it sounds great. Overall this is a great car so far and I would recommend it to anyone looking at them.
Style and Quality
The Eclipse is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. I love it. It has more of a head-turning factor than cars costing $100,000 more. I am a little disappointed in the gas mileage it is giving me. I'm getting around 16 to 17 in the city, tis is for a 4-cyl. NOT GOOD! It's not what the sticker said and NOT what I expected from a 4 cyl vehicle. My old car was a 6-cyl. and I got the same gas mileage, but had more power.

This car may very well save Mitsubishi!
I purchased in mid-June. I just love this car! It reminds me of my '95 Eclipse GSX. This is the fourth Eclipse I've owned. Interior style updated with driver ergonomics in mind. Spacious interior (salesman says car is wider than Ford Explorer) with sexy body lines make this one a real looker. Ride is firm with only a touch of torque steer. 350Z & G35 both exceed price of the Eclipse. Living in the midwest, I have to consider performance in winter conditions. FWD Eclipse handling in adverse conditions trumps RWD 350Z & G35's handling. Dealer called me to advise of recall on master cylinder, offered a free loaner so I could do errands during repair. Kudos on customer service!
Car of my dreams...
The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is an absolute dream to drive. It is fast and responsive. It handles like a race car. You bearly realize the change from 80 to 100 mph. Curvy country roads become a challenge - how fast can YOU do them at? It drives well on slick or icy roads, too. The traction control keeps it in line. The most fun part is that it is the first car I've ever owned that actually stops traffic. People stop to look at it.
Love thec ar; it's fun and eye looker
Car is beautiful. Went from a truck to this new look. It is fast, great to look at and fun to drive.
