06' or 07' Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Anyone have one or know anyone w/one?
06' or 07' Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Anyone have one or know anyone w/one?
I test drove one today and I think I have finally found my next commuter vehicle. Damn, they are NICE. I'm not sure which I'd go with. I'd love to get the GT (262 hp) :drool: but it might be more practical (and cheaper) for me to go with the 2.4L 4 cylinder. Either way, it's a sweet car. Anyone know anything about them, good or bad.. please chime in. Thanks.
Re: 06' or 07' Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Anyone have one or know anyone w/one?
i've seen a few at school and i kinda like them... a little, but not enough to buy one. I haven't talked to anyone that has one but i'd say it would be great for a comuter car.

Re: 06' or 07' Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Anyone have one or know anyone w/one?
it looks pretty nice...looks comfortable. I'm not a fan of the styling, but it looks better in other colors..i'd have to go with black. I don't know that i will ever own a car in anything other than black.. :p
Re: 06' or 07' Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Anyone have one or know anyone w/one?
Cool, thanks for the replies.. it's the best car I've tested so far that fits the enitire bill in terms of safety, gas mileage, trunk space and sporty looks. They did a nice job on that car. Most come with a 650 watt stereo and some very nice (racing-look) seats and gauges in the interior that are chrome trimmed. The console is nice and big and it has the triptonic auto that you can shift. The side windows are a bit small but I notice that a lot of cars are being built like that now. The only issue I had was that the rear decklid sits high and there isn't much window out back to see out of when reversing. I only tested the GS. I still want to test a GT. Oh, yeah, 100,000 mile or 10 years warranty.
I've also driven a Cobalt, Scion TC, Celica GT and a GTS. I wanted a Cobalt, but everytime I look at them, I think they are butt ugly and cheap. The tack-on rear spoiler and fat body doesn't do it for me. I only tested a base Cobalt and was extremely disappointed. The Celicas were decent but there are some blind spots and I didn't feel real comfortable in it. Any other suggestions as to which cars I should try are welcome. :)

I can tell you one thing:
If you ever wanted to for some ungodly reason, get in an accident with a 1995 Civic hatchback, You will win. (I can attest :spank: )
Besides that, they are pretty nice cars. They have relitavley similar rear leg room to our cars.

This is my next choice. :) Haven't driven one yet though. As for the Civic, I've looked at them and they are nice. Only thing is, where I work, the Hondas get stolen and broken into a lot so that's swayed me from leaning towards a Civic.

How much did she pay, if you don't mind me asking? The dealer was trying to sell me a silver GS yesterday for $23,400. That seems too high.
I noticed off the line the 4 cylinder MOVES. (Must be the gearing). But you need to floor the pedal to get decent pickup in mid range/high end. I was already thinking: what do I need to add to give this thing a little more power. The car is pretty heavy: around 3300 lbs. so 162 hp/162 tq is only adequate. Unless I get a real good deal, I may say the hell with it and eventually opt for a slightly used GT if I can find a decent one.
