Still the "Fun" Sport Coupe

It's been nearly one and a half years and 16000 miles since I purchased my Eclipse. So far, it still performs like it did when I first got it. It's running great! I'm totally satisfied with my vehicle. The only improvement I made last month was getting a new set of tires. Got the Kumho ultra high performance (slightly wider than the original Goodyears). And, it certainly was worth the money - rides even better! I'm hoping to get many more "fun" years with this Eclipse.

Tire Wear

I really love this car! I am on my second Eclipse-just love the RF music system, and the way you just want to drive this car constantly! The downside of the 2006 Eclipse GT is that the tires need to be replaced much too soon in comparison to other "Low Pro" enhanced vehicles.What ever happened to 36,000 miles for tire life expectancy? I have 11,000 miles on my car, and at $309 per tire? I hope that the new Chevy Camaro is out for my next purchase!

Practically Perfect

I have had three other Eclipses - a 1992, which I traded after a few months for an identical model that was turbocharged, and then a 2000 Eclipse GT. This one is obviously the best of the bunch. Every feature, from the radio to the door locks to the dash to the seats to the glove box - everything - is better than the previous model, and I liked my 2000 very much. I can say that I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with any of my Eclipses. I drove the last one over five years and only changed the oil and the tires. They have been totally problem free. I cross shopped this with the Nissan 350Z - too many tire problems, and the Chrylser Crossfire - which I decided was too small.

The 2006 Eclipse RULES

I recently bought a 2006 Eclipse and man does it rock! It definitely turns heads. The torque that it puts out is insane for a car that size and can easily beat most stock cars on the market today. Driving at night is awesome. The interior glows a dark blue and everything is easy to read. The only downside to the car is the gas. I drive this car so hard and fast that I get about 15 miles per gallon in the city. Sure, you can get the 18 mpg if you drive nicely but why would you buy this car if you were going to? All around this is an excellent car and I will be driving it for many years!

Hot Car...Equals Hot Chicks!

The '06 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a great car, I just picked her up on Friday (7/14). It's been nothing but fun. I get great compliments from random people. The car is really quick. Also, it's an official chick magnet. If you want to be the guy/girl that wants to stand out on the road, this is the way to go!
