What reviewers liked least about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder:

Extra power gives stronger acceleration but at the cost of nose-heavy feel, far too much torque steer, and a tendency to spin the front tires on takeoff-even with a light foot on the throttle. Tip-in is too quick and too sensitive, despite the grip of the 235/45VR-18 tires offered with the GT premium package..

-- Automobile

It has a barely usable backseat, poor top-up visibility, sluggish four-cylinder engine, torque steer on V6 models, large turning radius, and no stability control..

Best one-liner about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder:

The Eclipse Spyder is not a sports car, in the truest sense of the term. Accept that, and you can't go wrong..
