Ranking	Details
#1	Very fun car to drive Source: Edmunds ...I just bought my 2000 Eclipse GT. So far so good. I drove it across the country. Exterior is awesome, interior has very easy to use controls, performance is great. You can also find a lot of aftermarket performance parts for this car. I just wish they made a Turbo version...
#2	Best Used Auto Source: Cars.com ..."I bought my 2000 eclipse used with 89,000 miles and I haven't had a problem with it sense I bought it last year as of today it has 150 ,000 and the car is steal is going strong everyone in town loves my car....it keeps up with the new cars speed and look."...
#3	car Source: Edmunds ...i love it. it has a smooth ride and it is a really comfortable car...
#4	Still as fun as day one Source: Edmunds ...Funny how there are a couple of reviews that complain about the interior workmanship. I have put over 20k per year on this can and it is as tight inside and out as the day I bought it...........not to mention as fun too. It's not a Porsche or a Ferrari but damn it's still fun. Plus it tops it's price range in getting looks...
#5	A great companion Source: Edmunds ...I have really enjoyed the comfort of the car for the long haul, the appreciative comments and glances from passer-by and friends. The performance is perfect for me, it's reassuring - not freaky while still fun. The car also is a tank, I T-boned a vehicle at 40 and walked away. Car was rebuildable. The final note is that the interior needs tightened a bit for world class refinement and a bit more firmness in the front suspension to keep the wheels planted in wet weather... otherwise a great companion...
#6	Good for A While Source: Edmunds ...My 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse ran excellent for the first 50,000 miles. Then it started to have a few little problems - the front tire kept going flat, brakes were bad, a water leak. Nothing major, but annoying. Mine has 75,000 miles on it and still has no major issues. It gets great gas mileage and is actually quite pleasant on a long road trips, as long as there is only two people. However, it surprisingly can carry a lot. The ground clearance is minimal so I have bumper damage...
#7	200,000 miles - here I come Source: Edmunds ...Picked up my Solano Red GT in 2000 and I went thru 2 faulty side air bag changes in the very first month. I almost felt that I landed a lemon but was convinced other wise by Mitsu techs. Well, I will celebrate 8yrs of owning this marvelous car (my first ever new sports car) this 7th of June. Design - The exterior SST styling in this 3G GT - in my opinion - beats any G of the Eclipse.Performance - V6 with 205 hp - enough to pass quickly and stretch the odo (once in a while) Fuel economy - 26-27 avg on regular gas. Driving a 2000 Boxster S for the last 2 yrs, but the...
#8	fun, but lots of trouble Source: Edmunds ...It's been a very expensive car to have, even if i do like it. It's broken down on me from atleast 4 major mechanical problems, from a new engine to a new transmission, 2 clutches, altenator broke down the next morning when i took it off the lot. It was a new car with only 26 miles on it too. Only the engine and altenator were covered with the warranty, everything else was out of pocket, even car rentals which lasted up to 1 month. My out of pocket cost would be about 6,500. I wouldn't recommend any mitsubishi, service from all areas was equally as bad. The minute you pay...
#9	Still catches my eye Source: Edmunds ...This is a great looking, great sounding, pretty fun to drive car. When I brought it home the first day, my brother asked me if it came with a speeding ticket. It just looks like you should be driving it hard. I mostly use it on weekends, but occasionally drive it to work on snowy days. It handles surprisingly well in the snow. My only doubt in buying this car is whether it would hold up over the long run. After almost five years, it's still doing everything that I expect. It's nice to have a car that still catches my eye and makes me glad to own it two years after it was...
#10	Poor Black Paint and cracking dashboard Source: Edmunds ...Oxidized paint and 3 cracks in the dashboard. Black eclipse with oxidized paint. been painted now a few times by the dealership ( contracted out ). Paint is not oxidized, but still looks bad. dashboard still has 3 cracks, but the dealership states the heat from the southeastern US caused it. anyone else with these problems...contact Mitsubishi and complain...
