Eliza S

It is still very reliable and comfortable 11 years later.

I have the premium sports package, gt model and it came with all the bells and whistles available in 2007. My car now has over 100,000 miles on it and still runs great with few major repairs. An improvement to it would be the ability to perform sharper turns.

The Mitsubishi eclipse is a nice little coupe for those who are on a bit of a budget

I love my vehicle because it is the perfect combination of sporty and economical. The only complaint I have is that it has a 5 speed transmission instead if a 6 speed

Samantha B

That it is very reliable car to have if you want some that is going to last a long time

I love my car. I got it 6 years ago and it have been a very reliable car to have. The only thing that I don't care for now is that I have a 3 year old and they are not much room in the car

It's a convertible and is a Spyder. I loved the performance comfort and features. It has AC, power windows and seats and an awesome stereo system. The only problem is that the timing chain snapped today. So, I am looking at an expensive repair bill.

It is great on gas, so that will save you money and trips to the gas station.

Lisa S

It is reliable and you won't have to spend a lot on repairs.

I like it because it is sporty and gets good gas mileage. I also like that it is a convertible. And I like that I have had to do very few repairs to it, since I have owned it.

My Mitsubishi eclipse spyder is great! My dream car.

I love my car, very little problems. Just had to purchase new tires and get the tire rods replaced. The convertible works great and I just used it this year for the first time. The gas mileage is good. The color is very nice. The engine is good. When I got into a car accident last year it was easy to find parts for it.

Its has 160 mph on the dash.

My car is a 2007 Mitsubishi eclipse. It's a burgundy red color with glitter in the paint. It has 160 mph on the dash and its deemed to be a sports car; its the gs edition. It's a pretty reliable car, haven't had any real problems with it and she rides like a champ. Also, very good on gas and it has other features as far as you can switch it to manual anytime you are driving, 6- disc changer, mp3 option, and a sunroof.

Careful look when you buy

It’s an okay car. Till it started giving me rear suspension issues, then the serpentine belt squeeked like hell at start up. Lost my whole idle pulley at like 57 mph, And I also got an evap code that just came up. Also I have to do the pads now. Only put 10,000 miles on it or so. It has 89,000 something now.

Ryan R

The most important thing others should know about my car is that the gas mileage is very good and it is a cheap car.

It is a little small for my taste. I love the gas mileage the car gets. I love the overall look of the car. I am just tired of a small car.

Derrick E

Mitsubishi eclipse a car worth buying for the single man.

Bought used so the salesman didn't tell me that it leaks, as far as durability, it runs really well and it is pretty comfy ride for me.. Just not much room for passengers. I love music so the sound system is really nice unfortunately it does not have an AUX cord you have to install yourself.

Maria R

Like I previously stated the best part is The convertible top

It's a good car never really had a problem. Now I just want to buy a nicer newer car. It's orange and it's a convertible wish I really like because when I put the top down I love it and so does my daughter.it's also very economical with gas. Doesn't require more than 40$ for a full tank

Julius G

Older the car. The car that refused to give up. Bought very used high mileage.

I would enjoy this vehicle had I purchased it in good condition. When I got my car, it had already been used and ran through by a street racer who had modified the car. The back speaker was removed and the trunk didn't open without manually pulling the string located in the speaker socket. One thing I can say is that I've reliably driven this ran through car for over 5 months and can genuinely say it has treated me as well as she can. Very reliable.

Summer M

Decent but pricey, next please

Still runs and drives well with over 100,000 miles, but has been very expensive to repair when it needed transmission work. The convertible top has held up well but the seals around the back window have not. It may be an easier and more affordable option to replace the car rather than fix it should anything else happen to it.

Madison A

Great car, not many downfalls. All depends on preference!

I love the car. It drives lovely. My only issues I have had with it have been the pulleys. I have had to replace 3 of them. Other than that it is at 170,000 miles and still running absolutely perfect. It has a ton of room in it. In my opinion I have learned 2 doors are not easily accessible and I'd most definitely prefer a 4 door.

Stephanie G

Mitsubishi eclipse spyder gt.

Vehicle does not do that well on gas. Only take supreme gas and takes about $30-40 to fill out. Vehicle is a gas guzzler. Vehicle is extremely low to the ground so you feel every bump. Not a good car if you are a sitter like me. Vehicle lowkey consistently has something wrong with it. However, vehicle is reliable. If you take care of your vehicle this car should last a long time.

Mitsubishi Eclipse 2007 in great condition, fully loaded

I love my Eclipse I just wish it was a bigger car sometime. Not a lot of room in one for traveling but good on gas. Love to ride on a cool summer day and put the top back on just go for a drive. Haven't had any problems with this car since I got it 4 years ago. I'm the 2nd owner and it's still in perfect condition with cold air, heated seats, 6 disk changing CD player, power windows and cruise control all work great. Seats are leather and still in perfect condition with no rips, tears or snags in them. It's been a GREAT car for just me and my husband.

The Mitsubishi eclipse is very reliable. As long as you do preventative on this vehicle it will last a very long time.

I have had two models of this car, and both have had their air conditioner die. I'm not sure if this was just an unlucky coincidence, or a flaw in the making of the car.
