This car is a lot of fun to drive. I've had it for a little over two years now, and I still get a rush out of really pushing down the gas pedal and feeling the acceleration. I really like when I feel the MIVEC kick in, and the car really gets going. It has a solid build. It feels solid. It doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart or shatter into pieces if I hit a pot hole. There are some minor bugs that need fixing every now and then. The A/C unit only works on certain fan settings, and there is an issue with the ABS (which is a known issue Mitsubishi is trying to fix), but overall it's my favorite car that I've owned.

The Eclipse is a slightly-unattractive "sports" car for teens and adults who have not purchased a new car since they bought/received it as a teen. The major problem with this car is that it's so low to the ground. I'm fairly tall and have such a hard time getting out of the car. Do not buy if you're tall! You'll look like the Mr. Incredible in that blue car. However, in spite of the flaw of the height, the price is so low that it compliments the overall attractiveness of this car.
