Disapointment

The Car handle well, had power behind it. but the tranny would get stuck from 1-4. half the features didnt work, basically there for show. Car smelled horrid n the sound it mad when it started was far from comforting.

We have two

We own two of these fun rides. Good gas mileage combined with performance. Nice looking and fun with the top down. Mechanically we have had no problems with either car. Engine is consistent and reliable. Dont buy this car expecting room for children.

I love this car!

I have never had a problem with my vehicle, it runs great for having driven over 90,000 miles! The only problem i had with it was my dash collected dust very quickly and the back seat is really tight for even children. Overall a great buy!

Fun Car!

This car is a really fun joy ride. It can hit 0-60mph in less than 6 seconds. The shape of the car is a very sleak and slender style. It already has a nice looking body kit on it stock.

Not a good choice

I bought this car at 28,000 miles about 2 years ago it got oil changes every 3,000 miles, and i took care of it. The sunroof didn't open at about 34,000 miles, and the check engine light constantly came on, the steering doesn't seem to be that great, and now there is a noise coming from the back of the car, I can't wait to trade this for a decent car. I would never buy another mitsubishi eclipse again, don't buy this car, you will have problems...

Neat Little Sports Car

Bought one of these for my daughter. She fell in love with it when we were shopping for cars. Think I'm going to trade her off and give her my 2003 Honda and I'll drive this.
