The Mitsubishi Eclipse and Spyder, produced from 2000 to 2005, were two-door sports coupes that represented a significant shift in design and performance for the Japanese automaker. Building upon the success of the previous generation, these models offered a more aggressive and contemporary look, featuring a sloping roofline, prominent front grille, and sculpted bodywork. Under the hood, the Eclipse was powered by a range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, including the potent 3.8-liter V6 that delivered ample power and a thrilling driving experience. The Spyder, a convertible version of the Eclipse, provided open-air exhilaration with its retractable soft-top roof. Both models came standard with front-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive was available on certain trims. The interior featured a sporty and driver-focused layout, with comfortable seats, a well-placed instrument panel, and a variety of available features such as leather upholstery, sunroof, and a premium sound system. Despite its sporty intentions, the Eclipse and Spyder were criticized for a lack of refinement and handling precision compared to some of its European rivals. The suspension, while firm, could sometimes feel harsh over rough roads, and the steering lacked the sharpness and feedback of its competitors. Nevertheless, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Spyder offered a compelling mix of style, performance, and value for money, attracting a wide range of buyers seeking a sporty and affordable coupe or convertible. The car's appeal was further enhanced by its availability in various trim levels, each offering a different combination of features and performance capabilities. From the base GS to the top-of-the-line GT, the Eclipse and Spyder catered to a wide range of tastes and budgets. Ultimately, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Spyder of this generation marked a significant period in the brand's history, solidifying the Eclipse's reputation as a stylish and affordable sports car while introducing the Spyder as a compelling open-top option.
