Nothing has been a problem so far.
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.
I'm interested in purchasing a 2008 Eclipse GT - Manual- Convertible and I was wondering if anyone that lives north of the 50 could tell me what the convertible is like in the harsh winters here?
Would I be better off to stick with a sunroof?
I have an Eclipse hardtop, same year, GT-P, and I love it. I think the convertible is cool, but if you want more practicality, then the hard top is the way to go as you have more room in the trunk (rear seats fold down) and the sunroof is just stellar.
