2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

Pros

Looks pretty

Cons

Condenser can cost 800 to repair in less than 4 months

Owned this car for less than 4 months. The condenser broke. Dealer and manufacturer claimed a piece of rock hit the condenser and made it leak and it was not covered by the so-called bumper to bumper warranty. Had to pay 800 to have it replaced. Also heard that someone had 400 miles on the car and had the same bad luck I had. I believe this is a design defect. They should have the condenser better protected. So buyers be wary of this potential extra cost on a new Eclipse....read morehide

Cons

no cons

I just got a gs eglipse and I love it. Imagine if I got the gt or the gts it will 100 times better.

Pros

Good Looking Car,

Cons

None to speak huge blind spot for driver.

Great sport car for the beginner,

It rides just like the Gallant.
Seats like the Gallant.

It is the Gallant with a different body.

The car is worth the price. Only if you get maximum discounts at the end of the year.

Don't pay more than $15,199 for an RS without trade- in.

We were told by a friend take our the 10 year warrenty. The car has brake and transmission problems after 3.5 years...read morehide

It's been such a good chair so far for a program car purchase at 16K miles.
At 43K now.
I take it to the dealership for it's
regular scheduled maintenance and no
problems.
I think it handles just great and is so much fun to drive.
Always gets the looks wherever I go.

For people claiming that this is a sports car you are wrong. A sports car combines the aspects of handling, interior ergonomics, weight ratio, and broad band power.

Few cars can qualify as a sports car. For example cars that include the aspects above are

Its a good entry level sports car. The V6 is powerful but could use more ponies under the hood. The blind spots are horrible but you get used to it especially on the drivers side. The backseat is great if your under 4 feet tall. This car has alot of road noise on the highway.And remote trunk would be good on the coupe. Other than that the stereo is great for stock and the interior is awesome. And the stock exhaust has a nice note to it....read morehide

I HAD 2000 FOR 4 YRS, JUST BOUGHT 2004 GT. THIS IS A GREAT CAR TAKES CURVES GOOD,GREAT SPEED FOR THE PRICE ,THIS CAR GETS ALOT OF ATTENTION,LOVE THE BODY, I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY GREAT WHEN TURBO IS PUT BACK IN CAR,

First of all, don't hate on the car when you don't know what it's about. This car has nice upgrade to a V6 engine, (when supercharged can put out 400hp.) Handling is amazing, sweet. GTS is perfect. LOVE IT. Faster Eclipse. BETTER. Nice body; chicks dig it; guys want to drive it. Overall, WAKE UP AND DRIVE!...read morehide

This car is tight. The GTS is super fast. It has great acceleration, handling, and brakes, and the noise that the exhaust makes....WOW, its really loud. The design is breath taking the 2003 and 2004 that is. It can smoke any sport compact car within its class. Great car for the price.

I own a 2003 Eclipse GT, automatic. I've had it for 8 months now and have put 10,000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer twice...driver's side door didn't close properly.

This vehicle is NOT for an inexperienced driver. It is harder to see through the rear window...more than just the typical glance in the rear view mirror is needed when changing lanes, etc. The rear seat is small and not really designed for adults. Road noise is minimal. Stereo is great.

Acceleration from zero is OK, but once you hit about 40mph, the car is quick! I purchased a Catback muffler and installed an AEM Air Intake. What a difference! 125mph is pretty much top speed....read morehide
