A Single Girl's Dream Car! (1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse)

by CJsMommy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Apr 17 '01 - Updated May 17 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Hey, I looked good in it *grin*
Cons: not good if you have kids, leaks, back seat
The Bottom Line: Want to feel the breeze through your hair and the sun on your face? The Eclipse Spyder is a fun little car!

Alright, I admit it, I went through a shallow point in my life where I thought I looked great, and bought things to accentuate that. So, of course, when I was looking for a new car a few years back, I wanted one that my friends and I would look good...

Eye catching convertible.

by sokano Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Aug 09 '00 - Updated Aug 10 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stylish
Cons: Small back seats

As soon as I saw a few Eclipse convertibles in a dealer’s lot, I just knew that I could not walk away without driving one home. The body shape is just stunning. It feels so good to cruise around my town with its top down. It definitely catches peoples'...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: FUN to drive, fast, smooth, looks sweet
Cons: Not as well built as most compact cars
The Bottom Line: A lot of car for the money.

I have owned a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T for about a year now. It’s the 6th car I have owned in my 6 or 7 years of driving. All of my cars have been small sporty cars, ranging from a VW GTI to a BMW 325i Convertible. My Eclipse is by far the best all...

Mitsubishi- Never Again.

by MISSCATT
Feb 20 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: I missed a lot of work because it rarely worked properly!!!
Cons: Everything....lots of car trouble, made poorly, too small...shall I continue?!
The Bottom Line: In under 30 words, DON'T DO IT. It looks nice but it certainly isn't worth the stress nor the money.

I had 2 Mitsubishi Eclipse's...the 1995 which was the first year they came out with the new body style....AND the 1998. Why? Do you ask...did I get a 1998 eclipse if I was unhappy with the first one? Well,I was told that the reason I had problems...

Dec 20 '99 - Updated Jan 30 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: economical, attractive, comfortable
Cons: quick brake pad wear, slow off the line

I purchased a brand new Spyder Eclipse in March of 1998....Except for a starting problem on the second day (which the dealer claimed was loose wires)this car has been exceptional. I don't have the turbo model; and although my non-turbo model is fast it...

Jun 27 '00 - Updated Jan 19 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great looks, handling, trunk space, easy to modify
Cons: Lazy automatic, not a dragster off the line (stock, anyway)
The Bottom Line: Excellent import tuner car and good bang-for-the buck!

I love my 1998 Mitsu Eclipse RS. It's Northstar white, and the car looks extra sporty and clean in white. I'm in the automotive industry, so I consider myself a bit of an "expert", so read on...

First, the bad news. With a 2.0L 140-horse...

Need some sex appeal? Get the Spyder. Really now, everybody knows that a car will not make you attractive..…yeah right! This ride exudes power, good looks, and style. The Spyder is the Mitsubishi Eclipse’s wild younger brother. The convertible top...

Gotta love droppin' the top

Dec 15 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Beautiful car, drives like a dream, rides wonderfully, good gas mileage, eye-catcher, lots of power
Cons: occasional leak if it's raining, trunk space = nil, don't expect anyone over three foot to be comfortable in the back, insurance costs

Overall, I have greatly enjoyed my Spyder. It provides a comfortable ride and drive for the two in the front. Like I said... keep it at that and it is wonderful. This little car can really pick up and go also.
I drove mine down the coast line...
