Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Comfortable ride quality, smooth V6 power in GT trim, easy-to-use convertible top, minimal wind buffeting with the top down.

Cons

Sloppy handling compared to its competitors, uninspired interior design, intolerable rear seats, side airbags and antilock brakes are available only on GTS model.

What’s new

New for 2005 is the REMIX Edition that features a unique shift knob and steering wheel, leather front seating surfaces, a six-disc CD changer, 16-inch alloy wheels, chrome exhaust tip, color-keyed door mirrors, alloy fuel door and REMIX Edition badge.

Edmunds says

A comfortable and affordable drop top, but those seeking real performance should look elsewhere.

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

The media will just not give this company any breaks. The public needs to know this car is not only fun and comfortable but it looks great and is VERY reliable. I have driven these vehicles since 1996 and have never had any problems.

Love It!

2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 5M)

I love my GTS Spyder. Living in an area with many curvy 2 lane blacktop roads, it hugs the road beautifully.Since it is only me & my 100 lb dog that ride in it every day, comfort is not an issue. I get great gas mileage and love the summer when I can put the top down. It has great performance from a stop going from 0 to 60 in no time. I have no regrets!!

You will also feel body roll and over steer when going around corner's fast. The main problems I have with this …

Great, reliable daily driver.

Bought this used in 2009 with 83k miles on it. Has 142k now & never a minutes trouble out of it. No unexpected repairs just general maintenance, Never once failed me. UPDATE * this car was totaled in a wreak in Sep 2017, it had 170k miles on it and all I had replaced was the MAF, was a great car right up till the end, I now have a 2009 Spider, here’s hoping for the same level of …
