What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder enjoy its stylish design and fun driving experience. Many loved the sound system and its sporty feel, making it a great choice for enjoyable rides. However, some noted performance issues, like disappointing acceleration and limited backseat space. Reliability concerns were mentioned, especially due to its age, but many still found it dependable and fun to drive."
I love my spyder convertible. The engine still purrs. Excellent value. However, I am having a little trouble with the tops sensor going off even though its closed.
November 13, 2024The Eclipse Spyder GT is not the fastest car on the road or even in its class, but what prompts me to give it 5 stars in performance is that when driving it... you really feel like your driving a very fast sports car. In reality it's heavy, which has its advantages; it's much slower than its brethren Lancer with turbos etc., it has a miserable turning ratio; but these are all soon forgotten when one slips behind the wheel of a vehicle that has the stylings that always seem to offer the look of a brand new car; provide one with a ride of the wind in your face that every hardtop owner envys; the weight to give one a truely glued to the road feel; and the closeness to the ground that propels one to the feeling of rocketship performance and rumble of a bygone era. What it takes to make a car achive such an undenible feeling of power and handleing; joy and ecstasy... every time out testifies to the highest marks I can give.
June 10, 2010Nice car, fun to drive, looks awesome.Great on Gas; has an awesome sounds system. Back seat not big enough for adults. Turning radius isn't has good as it should be; my husbands Durango turns better. This is a great car and I would recommend it to anyone.

May 21, 2013This the best car I have ever owned. A pure pleasure...performance is outrageously fun, eye catcher. i alway find people checking it out when i am not around, saying its their dream car! Sad to see it go - need something for the family now...
February 25, 2011Great practical - minus the soft top. Fuel efficant and sporty to the max. Great acceleration for a 4 cyl, It has no rattles and a great sturdy top. The stock System is amazing. Fun car to drive - great road tripper. Love this car, it's even got car seat jacks just in case haha,.
August 15, 2008This car has been treated like a child. Do not let the damage disclosure turn you away, it makes for a better price. This has been a fun, dependable car that I will really miss driving. I am purchasing an SUV, but if I could continue to maintain 2 vehicles I would definitely keep this one.
April 22, 2012it looks faster then it is when you really open it up it aint all that great other then that i liked it, if your looking for a fun car with a great sound system in it then yeah its for you but myself i want to be able to win a few races while im at it
