2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Pros: Nice looking, reliable, fun to drive

Cons: blind spots, pricey

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone. Not only is it nice looking and bound to get you some double takes, but it's a good reliable car.

Review: I purchased my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS in October of 2000. I took the car home for around $30k after everything was said and done. (Loan.) After much thought, I stuck with the GS automatic because all of the GT's on the lot were manual. I did,...

Pros: Good looks, easy top operation, nice choice of engines, transmissions and options, price

Cons: The dashboard, 4-cylinder engine/auto transmission combination slow

The Bottom Line: Despite some small "dislikes", I like the new Eclipse Spyder. It looks and drives good, bears 5-year 60K miles warranty and ...

Review: I didn’t like the looks of the new "geomechanical" Eclipse at first. The “old” ’99 model looked more muscular. But it had low safety ratings, low interior volume and the chassis was too flexible. After a while, the new Eclipse started to...

Pros: Stills looks, sounds, runs, and handles great after 3 years.

Cons: Goodyear tires, speakers, headroom.

The Bottom Line: Great car for the price. Fast, tight, and attractive.

Review: After 3 years, I have to say, my Eclipse hasn't lost a thing. Still handles great, no squeaks or rattles, and not a single engine or powertrain malfunction. In fact, no malfunctions of any sort, except for a tire problem in the front. I have never ...

Pros: Sexy styling, reasonable price, just plain fun

Cons: Blind spots, leather looks like vinyl, no keyless trunk release

Review: This review is for my 2001 Eclipse Spyder GS, purchased on 12/30/00.

Overview:

This car stickers at $25,527. I paid $23,995 plus tax and license. The standard features are: 2.4 4 cyl engine, front disc/rear drums, 4 layer power top,...

Pros: great engine

Cons: bigger size, not so good turning radius

Review: I owned a 2000 Celica GTS for one year and traded that in for a 2001 Eclipse GT about 2 weeks ago and here is my comparison of the two cars. My Celica was a fully loaded automatic, whereas my Eclipse has all the comparable features but is a 5 speed....

Pros: 17 inch rims, Infinity sound system, V6 24 valve

Cons: not that affordable

Review: I was considering buying a new car and it had to be a sports car. When I went to the Mitsubishi Dealership in El Cajon, Ca. I almost peed my pants when I looked at the 2001 Mitsubishi Elipse GT. After my blood pressure returned to it's normal level I...

Pros: Fun, sporty, fast, handles well, smooth ride Beautiful, room for kids in the back

Cons: Limited headroom, rear visibility issues wide turning radius

The Bottom Line: I bought this car, and I am very happy that I did. It's a fast, fun, hopefully reliable car that makes me look forward to my morning commute.

Review: I've had my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT for about a week now. The one I bought has the 205 horsepower V6, the A21 Leather, Sun, and Sound package, and the automatic transmission with SportTronic.

I was considering more expensive cars like the...

Pros: Can't put into words... just drive it. And don't forget to look at your reflection while in it. :)

Cons: None

Review: I test drove every sporty convertible out there when looking for a car recently. OK, every affordable convertible. I kept my search under $45,000. I skipped a few - the Sebring is not 'sporty' enough, and the Honda 2000 and new Celica Spyder...

Pros: Where can I start?

Cons: Not many!

Review: Ok, I admit it... I bought this vehicle for it's looks. But then, driving it, I realized a few of the reason why it is so great. I love the automatic-manual transmission. Since me and my wife both drive it, I love to use the manual shift, and my wife,...

Pros: Great styling, Power top. Plenty of power (V6), lot's of oohs and ahhs

Cons: Squeaks and rattles, blind spot with top up.

The Bottom Line: The 2001 Spyder offers the best combo of price, performance, practicality and fun for this class of convertibles.

Review: I purchased a 2001 Spyder GT in August and have put about 4000 leisurely miles on it since. The two other vehicles I seriously considered at the time were the Mazda Miata and the Toyota MR Spyder. I choose the Mitsubishi based primarily on its larger,...
