So So of a car

Bought the new gen GT with sun & sound pkg when it first came out and was enjoying it for awhile till just after 2 months the front brake rotors warped. Brought it in to the dealer and after threats I got the rotors warrantied. 2 months later again warped, replaced with aftermarket never again had a problem. The Radio? what's up with the display? my girl's saturn has a much better read out, I mean top of the line fact Rockford come on, bad design. NOT EVEN AN IPOD JACK (dealer offers an ipod setup for a cheap $230?!) For a car with its decent performance, the fact tires suck in every way I had to upgrade those too! Overall not impressed, I would never ever buy another.

After reading the Edmunds review on this car, I had to see for myself, so i went to the dealership (after playing phone tag with the salesman) and they had two on the lot... an Orange and a Silver. Well, thats that, I drove out of the dealership an hour later in a brand new Orange Eclipse on May 28th. It has been a dream come true. It's incredibly fast, but the ride is so comfortable that you hardly notice any roughness in the road. A real step up from my last car ('95 Lumina). I think I am in love with it, it's just a very well built car which is incredbly fun to drive. Go out and test one for yourslef, you will feel like i did.

2006 ECLIPSE ....YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!

MY 2006 eclipse gt with the 263 horsepower v6 was one of the fastest cars you could buy back then, and it turned heads and got compliments every joyride in titanium gray. Unfortunately over a few years it became the worst car I ever owned. There is a known problem with the dash cover peeling away and this cannot be fixed, when it happens its ugly and takes away from how you feel about the entire car and its embarrassing. Interior plastic is very cheap and door handles and both the traction control and foglight buttons broke and fell into the housing. Then 2 seperate catalytic converter failures, I sold mine for parts. Enjoy yours while you can.

Stay Away from all Mitsubishi products

This vehicle completely lacks any sort of quality and Mitsubishi is not standing behind their product. The problems we have had with the vehicle include: 1. All four brake rotors warping by 9,000 miles, had to be resurfaced, now the brakes grind and squeak 2. The car has three rattles. We understand this doesn't affect the operation of the vehicle but it is disheartening to spend so much money and hate to drive your vehicle so much. 3. Paint chipping off and fading, all over the car. Mitsubishi says we got behind a rock truck, two body shops say the paint job is cheap and defective. 4. Two brake recalls, both of which could cause a crash. We were only notified by taking the car in for an oil change.

2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

This car is a head turner, fun to drive, has a great sound system, front seats roomy but back seat has no leg room and good trunk room. The GS is peepy for a 4 cylinder, does corners well.
