"I love this car ... when I went shopping for a sports car I found very few that were designed for a guy over 5'10" ... I'm 6'2" and this car is great. It's a real head turner."

"I LOVE this car. I leased it back in 07 and I just decided to keep it and refinance it. Ive had no probs with it whatsoever and I love how tight the shifter is when changing gears, the power and sound of the V6 when Im driving with the top down. I test several used Porsche Boxsters and the MB SLK and none come close to fun of taking off at a red light and shifting through the gears in this car!"

"I bought the 2007 brand new after my old 2000 eclipse was totaled, I bought Pearl blue which i have only ever seen a few times in the two years i have owned the car. I love it, its powerful enough for me, picks up well. The front seats are very comfortable. I also love the sound system in the car. On the downside, there are ALOT of blind spots, so, to pass a car on the highway i pracctiacally have to turn my whole body around to see if anyone is next to me, and plus the thing is awful in snow, it has always gotten me home, but i must go like ten mins an hour so i will give it that. But also even in a little bit of snow, it has alot of trouble going up any type of hill. Plus there is no backseat whatsoever. I dont have any kids or anything, I would hate to have to squeeze a child back their. But I will say this is an awesome car for the summer and I have never had to take it to the shop other than oil changes."

"I now understand why our car came with a 5 year warranty instead of a 3 year warranty (like all the others). Our car is constantly in the shop, problem after problem. I know someone who works at the plant and said these cars were just flying off the line and he wasn't surprised at how many issues we have been having. The dealership hasn't done ANYTHING to make this situation right, except try to get me into another Mitsubishi, this is where I say NO MORE MITSUBISHI! Granted this car looks good, and you'll get compliments, but if you don't want to be in and out of the shop, DO NOT BUY ONE!"

"I bought my Eclipse about 3 months ago, and I have enjoyed each time I drive it. The seats are incredibly comfortable and the body style is sleek and sporty. The only cautions I have to throw up is there really is NO backseat to speak of, so if you are looking for something that you could put a couple of people in the back, this is not your car. Secondly, there are blind spots and younger or inexperienced drivers can fall into trouble if they are not careful to learn how to drive this car. Otherwise, I love it!!"

"When I wanted a performance-focused car I balanced my urge against fiscal wisdom. At less than 30k the Spyder (GT 6 cyl) gave me a handsome car with serious performance. It's power is enough to excite - it handles well - and it is all that I had hoped."

"Bought my 2007 Spyder in July 06, after considering BMW 3 Series, Solara, Mustang, couple others. I'd wanted a fun convertible since my hubby bought his BMW M Roadster in 2000 :-). I wanted something with 4 seats, though. I crossed the BMW off the list after considering that as soon as the 4 year warranty expired on my husband's car, many, many things (expensive things!) went wrong with his...Solara didn't come with a manual transmission option, so that was off. Mustang? I don't know, just too...common. Anyway, after much research, I settled on the Spyder despite the serious torque steer on the test drive model (the bigger wheels fixed that, though)- and got the GT 6 speed loaded with everything except pinstripes and some kind of light kit for the bottom. The back seat is not really practical for adults, but smaller folks and kids would do fine. Anyway, having the back seat, small or not, has been extremely convenient overall. One other negative is the serious blind spot in the rear with the top up, but I drive my car with the top down in non-rainy weather above 45 degrees anyway, so it hasn't been a terrible problem. If I do have the top up, I am v-e-r-y careful backing up. The turning radius is not the best for so small a car, but, you learn to plan for that. Now....having gotten all the bad stuff out of the way, I love this car! Yes, it turns heads. Yes, it's fast. Yes, the top system is fantastic (no issues at all with that yet). Yes, the sound system is great (I haven't had any trouble with my CD system as another mentioned). It is just so much fun to drive, that I almost regret my telecommunting job where I have to work from home - I look for excuses to go somewhere! Admittedly, I have only 6K miles on it and will have had it 2 years in just 5 more months, so perhaps I will experience more trouble after it ages a bit. Whatever! I have a 10 year warranty. Overall, this is a fun, fun car and I don't regret my decision - in fact, I applaud my decision every time I go somewhere in my Spyder!"

"I bought this car new in 2006 as soon as it was available. I have been extremely pleased with it in more ways than one. The sleek style turns heads EVERYWHERE and I have even been stopped in the middle of streets....asked questions at lights etc. It certainly is a head turner. The horsepower is awesome and is certainly not at a loss for power when passing. I never winter drive it but the heated seats is great on cool days. The comfort is great ...however if you are tall like 6" or over...I'd rethink this car...there isn't much headroom for taller people. I'm short so it isn't an issue for me. The trunk space is great. I amazed the shuttle driver at the airport when I got 3 suitcases in it.There are two things that I don't like about the car...one is the way the interior is so easily scratched...and the other is the wicked blindspot that makes it bad when backing up in parking lots etc. Overall this car is a pleasure to drive...and as someone else said...you just can't help but look back at it every time you get out and walk away from it."
