Great feature, safety, and comfort.
Only downside is the HUD is not great for anyone over 5 ft 9. The eco option is great for needing a bit more power getting onto a Highway or merging into traffic. Lots of room, the blind spot detector is great and parking is a breeze with the bird's eye view.

It is my very first brand new car.
I love the overall look of my car. I also enjoy the automatic windshield wiper/spray and backup camera. I dislike that it does not have the option to add Sirius radio.

I love my 2018 eclipse cross.
I really like my car. It is beautiful, roomy, and efficient. It was easy to learn and use the features. I am a teacher and often carry supplies around with me. The eclipse cross has a lot of room and back seats that fold down easily. I have room for general schools supplies and my garden club supplies. What I do miss are the satellite radio and the GPS/navigation features I had in my previous car.

This Mitsubishi eclipse cross is amazing!
It gets great gas mileage and there is a lot of room. My only issue is that there is a blind spot between the front and back passenger side, making it difficult to see. The seats are comfortable and they fold down, making for a lot of cargo room. Try a test ride--you'll love it!

The panoramic roof is amazing.
The only problem I have with the eclipse cross is that it does not have remote start on the key fob. Only on the app (which takes forever). But all in all it's a wonderful crossover and I have no other problems with it. I am absolutely in love with this cross.

I absolutely love this car.
No issues. I love it and all the safety features it has. I love the style and color options. It is very comfortable and the drivers seat adjusts for my height. I am fairly short so an adjustable seat us important. The only thing I don't like is the phone integration because I have an android.

Great vehicle but too small for a family.
Too compact. Back seat area is tiny and the trunk area is very awkward and crowdy. It drives nice, however I only have 9000 miles on it and the electrical system is going out on it already. If you want tiny, then this is your car. It is nice looking though.

Pros and cons of the 2018 Mitsubishi eclipse cross.
My Mitsubishi eclipse cross was a downgrade from the outlander PHEV but it gets good gas mileage and has comfortable seating. The features on it are similar. To make it better I would add Sirius XM radio. The heating and cooling takes a little while to work. It works better when the vehicle runs for a while. Some of the touch screen options do not work after they have been set. For example, I cannot change the time. Also, my phone will not connect to Bluetooth. It handles smoothly and drives nice. The seats are comfortable and the colors stylish inside and out. The bar across the back took some getting used to. I am used to a clear window when backing up but the backup camera helps.

My vehicle offers me what I need when driving.
My car has some problems such as slow take off and gas mileage is not equipped with this car. My car has good reliability so far. Part of the car retaining its' sustainability or reliability is that I have regular routine maintenance on my car. For instance, I take my car for an oil change every three months and also get the fluids of my car topped off. When I state fluids I am referring to water, radiator and so on. My car is also given a yearly all inclusive maintenance check. With this routine maintenance check the air conditioner, the battery, and the transmissions are checked. The comfort of my car is good. The features of the car like the reminders for forgetting your keys in the ignition and the electronics to set your mirrors right for driving come in handy often for me. My car has a durable and sporty look to it that I like.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kristina L.

I like the 2018 Eclipse Cross ES AWD for its fast acceleration, comfortable seats, which make long drives feel like you are floating on a cloud. This car also has a unique and stylish design. It performs well on gravel roads, and on regular roads as well. I would definitely recommend it to others.

likeFilled Mari M.

I think first of all, the color's vibrancy attracted the household. The interior is sleek and black and simple. There are these perfect red trimmings this accessorize and accentuate the interior. It has a reminder for certain road conditions and what the vehicle might be low on.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kristina L.

It is a wonderful car, but the unique design creates a lot of blind spots, some of which can be helped by the rear view camera. The sloping rear creates less headroom in the back, especially for taller passengers.

dislikeFilled Mari M.

The only con I have seen is that the alerts for something like low wiper fluid is almost constant and it can be extremely annoying when driving for long periods of time. It will come on in really short intervals. You should be able to dismiss alerts. They should be integrated into the car's screen.
