2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse User Reviews

Pros

Great car! It looks muscular has great fuel range

Cons

The blind spot!

The car handles great, the doors feel strong when you close them and open them its a really long lastinf car, and its size is great fits anywhere. Very Fast!

Pros

beautiful design and great handling

Cons

Cramped back seats

Everything is great about new 2009 Eclipse GS trim. Except the back seat is practically use less. As in its too cramped for any one to sit in it. Could use moe leg room. Else its a great car with super looks and super handling.

Pros

I love its exterior style. Great power. Amazing audio.

Cons

A little difficult to look behind with the spoiler. Hard to see blind spot.

I got the GT a month ago w/sun roof and sound option. It runs smooth, $25K with 270 power, good price. 20 average MPG is reasonable with its horse power.

The 650W audio w/ subwoffer is really amazing! Good audio.

The truck is hard to close. Have to bang it real hard.

A little difficult to look behind with the spoiler. Narrow window behind makes it hard to see blind spot. Not recommend for unexperience driver.

Front lamp only light up 10 feet on front of the car, makes me turn on high beam all the time when i am driving at night. It should be fixable, I guess....read morehide

Pros

awsome fule milage.. looks sweet. and drives great

I bought my eclipse a year ago and i love it.. Its got great fuel milage.. the car looks sweet. drives great.. comfortable rideing... and goes fast... luvs it!!!

Pros

Performance is uncomparable, compared to other vehicles in price range

Cons

Absolutely none

I have had my GT for a month, and it is amazing!!! i constantly am at stop lights, and have people try to race me...this car is top of the line! I would put it against any high performance V6, and some V8's. Interior is very sporty, and the Rockford Fosgate stereo is thumpn'

Pros

Great power, sleek curves, bang for the buck

Cons

Wheel gap, rear wing, lack of a l.s.differential

I just picked up my 2009 GT two weeks ago and I love it!

There is power everywhere in the rev range, and most people have no idea just how quick it is until they drive it. The brakes are strong, and the ride is comfortable, just not as sporty as I would like.

An upgraded set of summer tires and lowering springs would go a long way in making this car a blast to drive on a daily basis.

The car gets long looks and double-takes everywhere I go; I just wish Mitsu hadn't decided to make the gaudy rear-wing a standard item. The new dual exhaust and bumpers look menacing, but the HID lights don't look as aggressive as they should....read morehide

Pros

WHAT CAN SAY, WHAT NOT LOVE ABOUT THE ECLIPSE

Cons

NONE FOR ME

WELL BUILT, EFFECTUATES GREAT , GREAT TRACKING, HANDLES GREAT, SAFETY FEATURES. I'M SPOILED, TURN KEY ON & GO, TURN KEY OFF & GET OUT, EXCEPT FOR A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCESSORIES.
HANDLING & CONTROL:EG.- I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID ANOTHER DRIVER,GOING 55 MPH AT NIGHT & SLID SIDEWAYS DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, MY ECLIPSE HUNG IN THERE, WITH NO HINT OF ROLLING, UPON SLOWING ENOUGH, I THEN MADE IT OFF THE SIDE THE ROAD TO A SAFE STOP IN THE GRASS.
IT HAPPEN SO FAST (I GUESS REACTION, DEPEND ON DRIVING EXPERIENCE), BUT HANDLED SO GOOD. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO REGAIN MYSELF, THEN BACK ON THE INTERSTATE & ON HOME, TO THINK ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPEN. THIS IS A GREAT CAR TO HAVE & A PLEASURE TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN OR ON A TRIP, RATHER STRAIGHT OR CURVY ROADS. HANDLING:IT CAN (IF YOU HAVE THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE & DON'T PUSH IT, PAST ITS LIMITATIONS) TAKE CURVE FASTER THAN MILES POSTED SPEED ON SIGN. (ME- 15 TO 20 MPH) I'M NOT PROMOTING UNSAFE DRIVING, BUT WE ALL LIKE TO HOT ROD AT TIMES TO SEE HOW WELL IT HANDLES....read morehide

Pros

Cons

watch the blind spots!!!!

I own a 2008 SE model and absoulty love it. I take my car on a lot of trips and have drove it 10 hours straight, it was comfortable for me the whole time. Yes the blind spots are horrible, I backed up into something right after i got the car just watch what you are doing i havn't had a problem with it since i learned my leason....read morehide

Pros

Great looks, performance and handling!!!!

Cons

NONE!!! I love this car!

This is the 3rd Eclipse that I've owned and every year they get better! I do ALOT of research before I buy ANY car and each time the Eclipse comes up the clear winner when you factor in price, comfort, handling and that 10 year 100,000 mile warranty! I bought mine at Quirk Mitsubishi and the sales staff was awesome! They also had the BEST prices....read morehide

Pros

Nice rice a little bumpy but taking curves is amazing

Cons

back seat is cramped. Rear vision is very bad you better check your blind spots well before turning

the center of gravity is very low. I rented a car and they gave me an eclipse. I rent a lot with them for business, so maybe that's why they gave it to me. I wish it was stick shift but even automatic is very good. I can take the curves at next to full speed and there's no reduction in stability. Even the kids at the McDonalds were telling me nice car. My car is your car....read morehide
