2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Mitsubishi Eclipse:

We've driven vehicles three times the price of the Eclipse that didn't feel as tight.

-- American Woman Road and Travel

The 5-speed manual, coupled with the V6, is something desperately close to the perfect drivetrain.

-- New Car Test Drive

One of the most attractive Mitsus ever.

-- The Car Connection

Smooth, powerful V-6.

-- Road & Track

The gauges are big, simple and easy to read.

-- USA Today

What reviewers liked least about the Mitsubishi Eclipse:

The GT's turning circle is a surprisingly wide 41.1 feet.

-- AutoWeek

ABS and traction control [are] available only as part of an expensive package.

-- Edmunds.com

Water temperature and fuel gauges, however, can be hard to read due to glare in bright sun despite being deeply inset in their own little tunnels.

-- New Car Test Drive

Looks sportier than it drives.

-- Automobile

Poor rearward visibility.

-- Car and Driver

Headroom is limited, especially with the sunroof.

-- USA Today

Mitsubishi Eclipse Comparisons:

Shares some coincidental thematic elements with the stunning Audi TT.

-- The Car Connection

Unfortunately, even the GT model lacks a well-tuned chassis that makes competitors like the Toyota Celica, V-6 Mercury Cougar and the Honda Prelude so much fun to drive.

-- Automobile

Best one-liner about the Mitsubishi Eclipse:

Styling will net you more phone numbers from good-looking single people than Ricky Martin can gather.

-- American Woman Road and Travel

Those expecting sporty performance...are in for a disappointment.

-- Edmunds.com

Marquis de Sade rear seats.

-- Car and Driver
