Mitsubishi Eclipse Usados en Venta

The Mitsubishi eclipse was the first car I ever owned. I shopped around for a good used model, and I was really excited because I loved the way they looked. I was soooo disappointed when I got the car. It ended up being only the appearance that I liked about it. The car had about 50,000 miles on it when I got it, but most cars would still run fine. Not this one. Since it was used and not financed I didn't get a warranty. It was a tiny car lot and they didn't offer them-now I know why. I bought it in summer (in Texas) and the A/C went out the second day. I attempted to have it repaired, but it never worked again. The CD player went next, but no big deal, I thought, as long as I don't have engine problems. So then of course I did. The transmission went out after a couple of months, and after dealing with that, I had some minor but annoying problems-the battery was completely dead, the brakes went out, etc. I didn't buy the car to be a race car, but it took over two minutes to get the car up to 50 miles per hour-which was very frustrating when merging onto a highway. Also, the gas mileage was terrible-I could go about 100 miles on a full tank before needing to fill up again. I ended up buying another car after all of this, and used this car as a trade-in. They kindly paid me a hundred dollars and informed me that they would scrap it for parts. I learned my lesson! I'm sure other models might have been great, but this one was a lemon. I do blame myself for not checking out the dealership I bought it from more-I learned my lesson there, too.

I like this vehicle quite a bit. It's economic to own and offers plenty of sportiness to have fun with. It has average to good MPG in the city and highway to other cars in the came class. The car is nice to look at and is easily recognizable on the street. The car is a popular choice for the tuner community. The engine is easily accessible and parts are widely available for this vehicle. The car already has a decent amount of power and speed, but is well known to be easy to improve upon with doing much hacking to the car. Many bolt on modifications will greatly improve the cars performance. The car is very good for wet and winter condition due it have AWD, a very good feature for dangerous weather conditions as it provides the car with much more traction than other 2WD would have. The main downside to this car is that it's slightly unreliable on the powertrain. You may have issues with engine and transmission failure earlier than you would expect to have them and replacement parts aren't cheap. However, like I said, it's easy enough to work on yourself if you are mechanically inclined. If you're not, you may have to spend some extra money to have the car fixed from time to time.

This compact "budget" car offers a fun drive and in-cabin experience—but at a cost. This car really is stripped down. Without expensive options, this car offers minimal features: no temperature readings, no Bluetooth, no cameras or sensors, no fancy digital displays, no advanced steering technology beyond ABS, no more than two cupholders, not even top-side handlebars. This may make it sound like it comes with nothing that's "standard" nowadays, but rest assured that it surely comes with great security and safety features: lots of air bags, window locks, car alarm, etc. So it doesn't have much. What does this car offer then? It gives you one hell of a drive. The throttle is so responsive that it takes great discipline in holding it back as well as great awareness of your posture and pressure on the pedal to ensure control. Its turning radius is wider than average, and its body weight is higher than one would expect given its compact stature, so turns should be taken more slowly for safety, but even when driving aggressively (in a safe environment), the car keeps itself in contact with the ground through the curve, and its extra weight being thrown outward gives anyone inside a thrilling experience. As a daily driver, this car has also been proven to be very reliable. The manufacturer's 10 year/100,000 mile warranty certainly lives up to its expectations. I have put my car through almost 100,000 miles of travel over nine years so far, and I have never had maintenance issues with the transmission or engine; no "warning" lights have ever turned on. Through its lifespan thus far, I have only had to replace the wipers, brakes, and tires due to wear. Even the car seats remain super comfortable to this day, and nothing in the interior has fallen apart or deteriorated. There are some critical caveats with this car, however. Because of its construction, the level of driver visibility is pretty low compared to other cars. This is inherent with many compact coupes, but a lot of uninitiated drivers dislike the low visibility, and for safety reasons, one has to be wary of this. The rear window panels are tiny, so any rear and rear-side driver views have to be relegated to only the rear window and mirrors. The A-pillars are also wide (because they have airbags in them), so the front-side driver views are also impeded. Also, for prospective passengers, it's really cramped for three or four adults to fit into this vehicle. There is limited leg room in the back. However, lots of cargo can surprisingly fit into this coupe due to its fold-down rear seats and hatch back. The stock sound system is also decent, if a bit underpowered. It packs more bass than other cars in its price bracket, but its clarity (in audiophile terms) is probably middle of the pack.
