2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

500 miles so far, like looks, handling, fosgate sound, tires, int looks, DISLIKE noisy engine and interior like there's no sound dampening, maybe that's why they offer the 650 watt stereo! Hate the fact that if you get a flat you can't use flatfix, it will screw up the tire sensors!, and the key thing with the electronic code, it's like they want you to call for help!
Big Engine, Sloppy Car

2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 2dr Hatchback (3.8L 6cyl 5A)
2 of 5 people found this review helpful
This was engineered as more of a pretty car than a useful one. It weighs too much for a sport coupe(>3500 lb), the turning circle is ridiculously wide (40 ft) and that's pretty much SUV territory. It also has numerous blind spots such as wide pillars and tiny side windows. The side mirrors are also too small. You will definitely have problems parking this car in a tight space. There is a noticeable under steer. The interior also suffers from cheap looking materials even with the leather option. The plastics are all over the place such as the door handle and middle dash, it almost feels like you're sitting in a toy-car. The rear seat is expectedly only useful for storage. It needs a new design.

Had the car since Feb 08 and finding too many little things that bother me every time I drive it! Should have rented one first for a week before purchase.

I love Eclipses! Use to have a '96, and recently an '08 Versa (DULL ride). Just got this 2008 Eclipse GS in Rave Red (beautiful color!). What a difference between the Versa and this car. This car makes driving a THRILL again! Love it!
Best Buy!

I purchased a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with the sportronic transmission. My Eclipse has the 650 watt Rockford Fosgate sound system which is excellent. I have had the car for 3 weeks now and it is an amazing car, it is fast even with the 4 cylinder and gets 31 mpg. It has a surprisingly spacious interior and I'm 6 foot 1 so it has a large cabin. The car is very easy to take care of and is a great buy. I used to have a 2006 Eclipse but I was in an accident in April that totalled it. The Eclipse is extremely safe because in my accident I was in a head on collision with a Cadilac Escalade and I was completely safe.
