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.
Nice GT Ride

The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is a nice ride. I have only done city driving, I can't wait for a mountain ride this weekend. It has lots of low end torque, and it pulls it to the right when pressing the acceleration. The sporty ride is comfortable for long jaunts and the 6-speed manual transmission is very very fun to drive. The interiors, are clean, minimalistic, and functional, including the back seat. You can only fit two adults comfortably, however you can fold the split rear seats for cargo space. It's a little wide, however it's a Galant with a different body, and sportier suspension, which is not a bad thing. The body style is modern, it's an American sized GT coupe. I am looking forward to a road trip to try it out.

I have had the car for almost 2 years. I have had no mechanical problems with it and still has the same power as when I got it from the dealer. The only problem was my driver seat motor broke, and squeaky brakes. But all were replaced under warranty. I'm happy with the car, but I am getting tired of squeezing passengers in. The road/wind noise is also starting to get to me. When you first purchase the car your notice the wheel gap is huge. While on the mitsu posters/commercials there is none. Lower the car to make it look better. I have gotten nothing but compliments for this car. It is great,strong engine, quality seats, and fun to drive but it is not very economical

This is not the best nor the worst car I have ever owned. I have had many issues with rattles one in the rear suspension. Also, the check engine light came on with a misfire. The dealer is still trying to find one more rattle (possibly in the tail light). I love driving it and its nice to look at, but I hate having to take it in every few 1,000 miles. The dealership has been helpful in resolving the issues.

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.
