2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

My Mitsubishi Eclipse is a really reliable car that gets me from location to location, however it is not a stylish and comfortable car to do so. I have had very little mechanical complications with my eclipse, but the inside of the car is a nightmare. Due to the dark interior, the dashboard cracked years ago from the Kansas heat causing issues within the dashboard. The car has very large windows which are nice for driving but are very bad for allowing heat into the vehicle during the summer. Overall, my eclipse is very mechanically reliable but not stylish for current times.

It has been tore up more than it has run like it's supposed to. Motor problems to the front driver tire falling off while being driven, luckily I was turning and not traveling down the road. The timing belt has jumped time twice and there has been too many repairs for my budget. I right now have no way to ride.

My car has several pros and a few cons. I've recently had to replace all my belts. The seals leak around the sunroof and the radio does not work. However, I get great gas mileage and it drives really good. I wouldn't recommended this car as a family car because it has no room.

My Mitsubishi eclipse is a good car, although it is not the most reliable/efficient. The interior of the car contains leather seats, which makes for a comfy ride. Unfortunately, however, it is not the best on gas due to the large engine size (6 cylinder). If one is looking for a commuter car, I would not recommend purchasing a Mitsubishi eclipse. The car also has many problems, and is costly to fix. All in all, not a bad car but not the best either.

I like the look of it. It is very quick because it has a turbo. I dislike driving it sometimes because it is a stick shift and I get tired of pressing the clutch while in traffic.

The eclipse GT of mine has for the most part only had minor issues since I purchased it 3 years ago. I have replaced all four brakes, rotors, brake calipers, and bought new tires. Most recently the transmission hose busted and I have not been able to get the time to get under there and get it fixed. It is not the best of vehicles if you have a family, being such a compact car, with only two doors and no rear windows, it could be hazardous for anyone too Escape from the back seats. They are good running and quiet but quick cars as long as they are maintained properly. Although they sit low to the ground they still do not have a problem with constantly scraping concrete while driving down the road.
