Mitsubishi Eclipse offers wild design and sports-car exhilaration, all at a relatively low price. It offers a smooth ride and sporty handling.The RS and GS models with their four-cylinder engines are good sporty car buys. But the V6 engine transforms the Eclipse into an exciting sports car. Don't buy the RS or GS before driving the GT or GTS.
Our favorite Eclipse is the V6 Spyder, an entirely grown-up, four-place convertible that makes you feel good and look good. Not only is the Eclipse a more sophisticated alternative to a Detroit pony car, it is also a serious challenger to some much more expensive European convertibles.
