This car is pretty nice to have it is fun to drive but not the best unfortunately. I wanna start with the pros of this car. Looks are sharp! I mean my kalapana black eclipse turns heads all the time and gets me solid compliments. Its a nice little 4 banger perfect for me and my chick. Installed HID 8000k lights, LED interior and License plate LED, modded exhaust, and Cold Air Intake.
Traded a Lexus RX330

Traded 2004 Lexus RX330 that I absolutely hated. Fell in love with the first time I saw it. I can afford a much more expensive car but with gas prices going through the roof I chose to opt for a 4 cyl that runs on regular gas.

I was looking for a good looking sport coupe. Looked at them all but for the price and fuel ecom. this was the best for the the price--no question. Have had many from Corvettes to Cobalt SS's but for a 12 month car I think this was a good choice with front wheel drive. Just remember it's more show than go, but it does handle real well.
Extremely reliable car, fun to drive, looks great.

I've had this car for 13 years now, and it still runs great with 112k miles on it. This car is extremely reliable, it has never had any issues. It starts up everytime. Regular Maintenance is easy, as I do most of the work myself. It's actually easier to work on than Toyotas and Hondas. It handles very well on turns, gas mileage is great, and it has plenty of pop for a small engine. Overall, the best and most reliable car I've owned.

2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE-V6 2dr Hatchback (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

I bought my GT-SE two years ago with less than 40k miles on it for less than $9,000. Not bad in my opinion for a car that originally sold for 30k. Currently it’s at 57k. Great power and torque. I drive it hard and use that 263 HP and 260lbs of twerks. When the MIVEC opens up those exhaust valves at around 3500 RPM you can definitely feel it and hear it. Especially with my K&N short ram intake. Lowering with springs or coil overs really helps with the looks and handling. Adding a stiffer rear sway bar also helps with the understear. The turning radius really does suck though. The factory Rockford Fosgate stereo is great to have. The rear wing makes seeing clearly out of the rear window impossible but in my opinion the eclipse looks terrible without it. For most of my ownership I have a recurring check engine light for a bad O2 sensor or catalytic converter but i put a new sensor in every year before inspection and it keeps the light off long enough to pass. Performance isn’t affected by whatever the problem is thus far. In mixed driving I get 23 MPG. Not great considering you need premium fuel in the V6. But the performance is good enough for me to ignore the fuel cost. If these cars were 500 pounds lighter they’d be incredible. Very roomy for the driver and passenger in front. The rear seats are useless for anyone over 5’3. These cars are known to have a rattle coming from the clutch. Mine started doing it at around 50k miles. My mechanic told me to let it go. From what i read it’s clutch disk springs? The noise goes away when the peddle is depressed. Doesn’t affect shifting as of yet. I know it may sound like there’s a lot of drawbacks to these cars but it’s fun enough to drive for me that i ignore the not so good stuff. I recommend buying one. And this is coming from someone who’s owned a 2008 Mustang Shelby GT and a 2010 Corvette. I truly enjoy my eclipse almost as much as those cars.
