Love this car

I love the way this car handles. The four cylinder engine performs great and gets good fuel economy. The handling, performance, look and feel of the car give the impression of riding in a high end sports car without the high end price tag.

I used to have a 98' Eclipse GS, lasted 11 years so I decided to trade it in for a 08. I have never been happier with my car, it's stylish enough for me and affordable, gets good gas mileage in my opinion, and is a smooth ride and yes I'll admit I've had it at its max 155 on a interstate, it rides very smooth even at that speed. If only it didn't have so much weight in it. 3550 lbs is a lot for a sports car and makes cornering devastating on your tires unless you take them extremely slow. Corning can use some work but even my last Eclipse turned like a Semi-truck so I'm used to it. All in all, I love my car and it attracts attention.

Traction questions on 08 Eclipse

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

I have owned my Eclipse gs for about four months now with about 4,000 miles on it and found it to be fun to drive, good acceleration and a great sound system but I am noticing that in wet weather the car loses traction around curves and slides and wonder what it will be like in winter driving with snow and ice other than that the car is pretty nice.

I'm only 18 years old a Senior in High School African American and I am loving this car. The way it looks, the way it feels when you drive it, the 650 Watts sound system is great. The back seats may be small but who's to carry around but either your girl/boy friend. Good price for a good sports car. Leather seats are nice. Great acceleration and nice power V6 engine. All In All Love the Performance. I got everyone at after school just looking at when I'm going 15-25 Mph just bumping the system and just the way it looks.

I needed a vehicle that I could rely on and saves me gas. I fell in love with the Eclipse! Lets just say this car drives real smooth. For a 4 cylinder, it has a lot of get-up and go! I got the SE edition that includes the sunroof and the awesome Rock Ford Fosgate sound system (includes a subwoofer in the trunk). It also has the nifty front and rear spoilers that makes the appearance very sharp. So far I can tell a big improvement between this car and my truck I owned. I am very glad to have purchased this vehicle. :)
