2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT review from North America
"Awesome Spyder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has been a problem so far.
General comments?
This car is very sporty looking and extremely quick to match. Although it is heavier than previous generations, the V6 will shoot this car forward with no hesitation.
The soft top is second to none. It goes up or down with the push of a button and is completely hidden under a tonneau cover.
The interior is larger than before with compass and outside temp displays as well as a 6 CD changer 650 Watt Rockford Fosgate Stereo. The seats cradle you and have excellent lumbar support.
Gas mileage has been adequate for a V6. I have averaged around 19 mpg with mostly city driving.
In conflict with what most people say about this car, I personally love that it is FWD. I live in Ohio and a Miata or S2000 isn't going to work in the snow so this is an all year around car.
I highly recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a convertible sports car that is also practical and not too expensive.
