Reviews
New Car Test DriveCar and DriverOne Liner
Fewer straight lines and sharp angles, more curves and better proportions combine to turn heads more with a smile than with a frown.
Least Liked
The liftover height, while not much higher than that of the average trunk, presents a fairly thick rear bulkhead, requiring a back-straining lean to heft items up, over and into the cargo area.
Most Liked
Front seats are comfortable, sufficiently bolstered for mildly spirited driving and adequately cushioned for a day-long, interstate drive from California's southern-most region up through its lush Central Valley to the state capital without numbing occupants' posteriors. The dash is a cabin-spanning, single piece of pleasantly finished plastic that invites optimism about reduced buzzes, squeaks and rattles as the car puts on miles and years.
Road & TrackLeast Liked
The Eclipse also burns more Exxon and Arco. After 300 miles our fuel card reported 15 mpg. The Eclipse lacks a telescoping steering column, and the wheel lurks close to the dash and pedals. Drivers long of inseam will sit with their knees splayed, brushing the back of the wheel, knock-knocking the center console.

Several exterior details make this car stand out, such as the "chrome-under-glass" rear spoiler ... , chrome-laced clear-lens covered head and taillamps, LED brake lights and shapely exterior door handles. It shines in more normal everyday spirited driving, the kind you would do on the way to work, running errands and taking weekend trips on highways or winding two-lanes; track days are out.
Least Liked
I'm no physics major, but all that weight - distributed 61 percent front/39 percent rear - along with front-wheel drive, soft springs, too much body roll and all-season tires (that start squealing in protest long before they should) do not a sports car make.
Model ReviewsMost Liked
Adding to the four-banger's fun level, the clutch engages so gracefully that you have to try pretty hard to stall the car from a standstill, or to accomplish a jerky shift. The shift lever moves crisply, which is an achievement in a front-drive car because the shift linkage goes through awkward angles. Remarkable room between the door panel and the center stack of controls shames some full-size machines. That kind of side-to-side space is a luxury and belies the car's overall tight confines.
One Liner
Eclipse is a rare machine, as satisfying to drive as its stunning styling suggests.
Least Liked
The back seat is barely there. Even average-height riders will sit tall enough to bump the hatchback glass.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two door, four-seat coupe with good looks and a roomy interior. It appeals to a large audience with its youthful looks and affordable price. The Eclipse has two trims: GS and GT. A 162-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic with manual shift mode. A 265-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine powers the GT and comes with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic. Standard safety features include frontal-impact, side-impact and side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system.For 2009, the Mitsubishi Eclipse has refreshed front and rear bumper fascias. The GT gains dual exhaust, HID headlamps, stability control, and a large rear spoiler.
