2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

There have been many factory issues like the paint, internal overheating, and other recalls.

I like it because it's sharp & fast. I Dislike because the A/C doesn't work & to many motor problems.

It is great on speed and traction. But horrible on gas. The dashboard was made with the worst plastic ever. It has a problem with the ignition system, but cheaply fixable. All in all it's a decent car to own. I would recommend it to anyone. For the year of the car, I expected a worse condition.

It's kind of small and compact. It sits really low and there's virtually no room in the back seats for your legs. Don't like the tinted windows. Stereo is not too loud, wish it was louder. Poor ac system. Other than that pretty okay. It gets good gas mileage. Had to recently fix the belt and pulley.

The car is pretty reliable but it has its flaws. It's no sports car but I find it takes a while for it to accelerate once my foot is on the gas. The small build of the car allows me to feel like I have a lot of control while driving. The steering and brakes are also very sharp and it helps me stay in control while driving. I find the miles per gallon on this car to be better than many cars and it is really fuel efficient. I wish the seats had a feature that allowed them to elevate instead of just going forwards and backwards. I think the battery life on the car could be improved, I often find myself just listening to the radio without driving and noticing the battery starting to die out. Also even though the car is only a two doors I feel the back seats could use just a little more space.

I love how smooth is feels when its driven but after approximately 100k miles electric starts going on this type of a car. Which is a huge issue.
