Slick Ride
The only negative about this vehicle is that even with the air temp dial at max cool, there is a tremendous amount of warm air coming in through the vent around the petals. I suspect that the outside air duct must run close to the exhaust and they pick up temperature from that and it is the sent into the car. To avoid this I engage the interior circulation mode, which eliminated the air flow. Also, the vehicle does oversteer or plow when making hard turns. It is a very comfortable and enjoyable car for long distance driving.

Big Engine, Sloppy Car
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.
sad but true
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.
Prior owner of '96 Eclipse in love again
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!
Great Driving Sportscar
Lots of power and handles very well. GT with the rear fin gets a lot of looks and even questions as to what kind of car it is. Read other comments and noted concerns about the short distance of the low beams. There is a switch on the dash to adjust this. I panicked the 1st night I drove mine.
