Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Usados en Venta

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder was my dream car and now I own one. I love being able to put the top down and drive feeling "free" when the weather is nice. The feeling the wind in your hair when you're going 110mph on the highway is exhilarating. Also, the females seem to love the car so I guess you could call it a "chick magnet." Every female I have told that I own this car has always either said, "I've always wanted one," or, "I've always wanted to ride in one." The engine comes in handy when driving around rude drivers that don't want you in front of them. The mini van next to you that won't let you over. He stands no chance. In 3 seconds you've sped up faster than he can go in a quicker time. It's so easy to merge. The car is quiet when compared to other sports cars and I enjoy that as well. The last thing I want to do is announce my presence unless it is with my awesome stereo. The car comes equipped with 6 Infinity speakers. They come in handy when the top is down because when you blast the stereo the sounds comes out crystal clear even when at a high level. The car handles turns like a dream as well. It hugs even the tightest turns at high speeds. When a sign says slow down to a certain speed to safely handle the turn I know that I can maintain a speed that's about 20mph high than the suggested limit without my tires loosing traction. My car has over 190,000 miles and still has the original engine and transmission.

I got this car roughly a year and a half ago. I have put about 25,000 miles on it, and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The car has lots of interesting features and quirks, which may be nice on other platforms, but for this vehicle, it feels like the perfect storm. The visibility is poor due to the convertible top taking up so much space, and the forward visibility is poor due to the increased A pillar size. This forces you to sit in a lid down position and is tiring when combined with the poor ride quality. It is very stiff and firm to drive, and every crack and stone in the road is felt in your lower back. The power train is nice, lots of power and plenty of room in the gears, but the weight of the car makes it dull and feel like a boat. The car is similar size to a small sedan but only two useable seats. The rear seats are tiny with no leg room. If you enjoy sitting on a wooden bench, then the backseat is for you. Trunk space is nonexistent due to the convertible top, and the depth isn't useful. Who would want to stack groceries on top of each other? Overall, the car has some nice features, but paired with this car, makes it very displeasing.

The 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is an excellent machine. The Spyders are convertibles and came with a 4g63 turbo or 4g64 non-turbo. Mine is naturally aspirated, but don't let that fool you into thinking its slow! It has quite the torque and will really get up and go. However, while quick, the Spyder won't really go anywhere in the snow. At all. It gets stuck in less than an inch of snow! But that's okay because this car is too pretty to take it around in ice and dirt! Mitsubishi really was far advanced for their time. It has a very sleek design and let's not forget that factory 10-disk cd player in the trunk! This car is a '98 but everyone I meet always insists that this car just came off the showroom floor. They are even more baffled when I tell them I paid $3,200 for it two years ago. And speaking of two years, it has been mechanically sound. The only time it has ever had its hood popped, was to change the oil and timing belt. This car doesn't smoke, doesn't leak any fluid, doesn't overheat, nothing! It is a very reliable car. It gets pretty decent gas mileage, I live about 25 miles from the "city", and I put $33 to fill the entire gas tank and it lasts me a few days commuting to and from work. When first researching this car, I found out that it had gotten 4-Stars in crash tests--all around! To include if the car were involved in a roll-over accident! I was amazed that a convertible could survive a roll-over so that has definitely been a huge nudge towards me buying the car. The convertible top has started to leak, so that's quite unfortunate.
