2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

Pros

Good ride, I get 20-24 mpg in city, 27 hwy!

Cons

none

Purchased As New

Yes the back seat area is for small people so it's great for my grand kids!! I really enjoy the car had it for over 3 1/2 months. Everybody gives you a look at the light, some want to race you. I guess the styling of the car just make other drivers feel that way! No regrets on this car. Driving a six speed manual is such a thrill; this one shifts so smoothly.........and with 265 horses this car can get up and go....read morehide

Pros

Appearance, Great on Gas, Interior...

Cons

Backseat (No room for legs & tall people)

Purchased As New

Overall, I am in love with this car! =) My parents purchased it for me as a graduation gift. I love the look of the car and the comfort when am driving. I noticed many reviews complaining about the blinds spots; however, I haven't had any problems with that.. I also love the height of the car..perfect view of the road! The sound system is awesome..and the sunroof.. the car is great on gas..
However, the downside is the backseat. I primary use my car so I can move around..but there are times I have had my friends or nieces in the car and they do NOT love the space back there for their legs..yet they somehow manage to get comfortable.
Like I have mentioned before..this car is overall a great car. I would not recommend it for a family..mainly for 1 or 2 people.....read morehide

Pros

It's a hot looking car

Cons

Blind Spots

Purchased As New

As soon as I saw this car I had to have one. It is an amazing ride it's smooth and take corners nicely. The inside is comfortable and I love the sun roof it doesn't mess up my hair! The Rockford system is awesome and sounds great. I just bought it a few days ago and I really don't have any complaints yet. The blind spots aren't really a problem for me so much as they are for my boyfriend when he drives. Just use your mirrors and check your blind spots like your supposed to....read morehide

Pros

Excellent Handling

Cons

Poor Visibility

Purchased As Used

I love driving my Eclipse! I feel "cool" when sporting around in my eclipse. There's not much room in the back seat especially if you actually have legs. It's kinda hard to see anything behind you that doesn't show itself in the rearview mirrors.

Pros

Beautiful, excellent handling

Cons

Rear seat not for adults

Purchased As New

A work of art. Takes curves as though it is on tracks. Decent gas mileage. Tight handling. Very solidly built -- a few weeks ago, I was hit by a red-light-runner, and barely felt the impact -- I first knew what had happened as I saw parts of my Eclipse flying through the air in front of me. Repairs are reasonably priced. I have the manual tranny -- easy, smooth shifting. Sweet premium sound system. Comfortable front seats. Some complain about blind spots; to me, this is not so much of a problem if you adjust the mirrors carefully. This is my second Eclipse; the first one went 13 years. If you want jack rabbit starts and a speed demon, though, get the GT....read morehide

Pros

Pretty Much the Whole Car

Cons

Blind spots

Purchased As New

I purchased my Eclipse in 2006, before that I had a Lancer. I love this car, its very sporty and was right in my price range. The gas mileage was a big help in a rough economy. I primarily use it as a two seater, which suits my just fine. I didnt buy the car to carry around 4 people, I bought it to carry me around. The blind spots are a lil difficult, but with more time you spend in the car you become used to them and learn to drive it. I would recommend this cvar to anyone looking for a moderately priced sports car....read morehide

Pros

It is a great car for the money. Rides well.

Cons

Back seat is for kids only. Way too small.

Purchased As New

I love it, it is a great sporty car for me and my grandchildren, which is the reason I gave up my Audi TT. This is the next best thing for the money.
