Cosmetically, this car looks nice. I tinted the windows 35% which really adds a sleek looking element to my coupe. My Eclipse was a Automatic so the power wasn't nearly as good as a manual transmission version but it still had decent torque. The rear spoiler made it easy to lift my trunk open, though the car remote had a auto trunk open button so never really was a factor. I had a yellow Eclipse which is not very common, but the other colors are very cool looking as well. Being a Coupe, obviously it is not meant for more than 2-3 people at the most. It is also pretty low and awkward to get in and out of the car, so that can be annoying after awhile, especially if your a older person(I'm not). The spoiler in the rear of my model of the eclipse reduced rear visibility when backing out from somewhere. The turning radius leaves a lot to be desired, some turns that bigger trunk's and suv's could make could not be done with my Eclipse. Furthermore, this car is not very reliable in the winter. Its front wheel drive and even discounting that, it doesn't handle well on slippery conditions such as sleet, snow, rain etc... This is definitely a warm weather car. One thing that i encountered during the winter was the check engine light coming on when it got cold. I could go driving the next day in warmer temps and the check engine light would be gone, so there is a strong correlation with cold weather and the check engine light coming on. I'm not sure if it was just my car or all eclipses in general but i bought it brand new and it had this problem. I liked the black upholstery inside the car but the seats are very enclosing and make it hard to grab the seat belts behind you, so you almost have to dislocate your shoulder to grab the belts at times. In retrospect and conclusion, i would give this car a 6.5 out of 10. It has appeal and speed, but the lack of handling and the lack of comfortable sitting really turned me off to it. This is definitely a car for people that live in warmer states, which i do not(Minnesota lol). If your a Mitsubishi fan, it is a nice look, but you should rather go for the Lancer Evo or other models if your looking for speed and handling.Dec 13, 2012
