Used Mitsubishi Eclipse for Sale in New York, NY

This was my first car, so what can I say other than I loved this car! It was a fast, sporty, and at times sexy car to drive. This was beast when it came to winter time. I could be plowed in up to the roof of the car, as long as I was able to get in the car I never needed to shovel it out. The V6 engine allowed me to literally start the car and gun it out of the snow. She was fast enough to weave in traffic with ease. She had great breaking incase the weaving didn't go so well. I could have done with having less blind spots in the car. As well the front windshield being right in your face. This car was not made for a tall man. Even with the seat all the way down you hope you never get in an accident. For fear of cracking your head against that glass. This car was a real head turner whe... (more)

Story

The first time I ever let my father use my car he called me after receiving a speeding ticket. He normally drives a hyundai accent 1.8l 4 cylinder. When you put the pedal to the metal in that thing you struggle to get any giddy up. You really struggle to get it up to speed and know when you are actually driving. Being that it was his first time driving my car he didn't realize how touch sensi... (more)

Pros

It came with an Infinity 7.1 speaker system. That was both loud and clear. You could keep the system turned up all the way and still hear it clear as a bell. No distortion. Had the 4 disc changer and cassette tape deck in there which allowed me to hook up my phone/mp3 player before auxiliary wires became a thing in most cars now. Loved the black leather seats. They have a race car bucket seat to them while still feeling soft and supple. They added class to this car. The whole interior was black which just made everything easy to view and enjoy the sleekness all around. Powered locks, doo... (more)

Cons

One of the cons I had about the car was the paint job. Even if taken care of properly, washed and waxed regularly the clear coat tends to chip off. Another con is that since this is a 6 cylinder car it can be extremely hard to change spark plugs or replace seals in the car without taking it apart. For the sound system, the center speaker tends to distort rather quickly and needs to be replaced. The rear shocks that hold up the truck are not strong enough to hold the weight of the glass. You need to buy stronger ones and after a few months it may happen again. After a few months of dri... (more)

2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Excellent small vehicle

I like that it is a two-door vehicle. I like the size of my vehicle, because it is small, and I like the color of the vehicle. My car is black. I don't like how fast gas is used in the car. I hate that I don't have any navigation system built in the vehicle. I dislike that the vehicle has a small trunk, and I can't put enough things that I need to in the trunk. I would have to make several trips if I were moving my things because of the small size of the trunk. I don't like the leather interior of the car, because during the summers, it gets very hot quickly. Even though that my car has a lot of mileage, I have not run into any problems with it. I have never had any problems with the breaks like I did with my last car. The engine is always working fine.

Story

I remember driving my car for the first time to the movies to meet up with my friends. I was so nervous, because it was my first time driving the car anywhere and the first time my friends would be seeing it. When I got there, my friends were ecstatic about my new car, and I was able to drop each one of them home.

Pros

I like that the car is an automatic and not a stick shift. I also like the very small size of my car. It's perfect for me. Because my car is so small, it's easier to park with.

Cons

I don't like the old school radio system. There are not many channels that I can listen to in the vehicle. The wheel is very sturdy, and it takes a little more force to steer the wheel. I wish it were a little looser.

2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Northstar Auto Sales Long Island City

The dealer was very knowledgeable about the vehicle and took time to understand what I needed and could afford within my budget. They took time to show me 5-7 cars and let me test drive three of them before I made my decision.
