The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, produced from 1996 to 1999, is a two-door, two-seater convertible sports car that became a symbol of sporty style and affordability. It built upon the success of the first-generation Eclipse coupe, offering a similar sporty driving experience with the added allure of open-air motoring. The Spyder was powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, initially producing 140 horsepower, later bumped up to 142 horsepower in 1998. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, with a four-speed automatic available as an option. While not the most powerful in its class, the Eclipse Spyder's light weight and relatively nimble handling provided an engaging driving experience. The Eclipse Spyder's design was characterized by its sleek lines and distinctively sculpted body panels. It featured a retractable soft top that could be lowered with the push of a button, allowing passengers to enjoy the open air while cruising. The interior, while not lavish, was functional and driver-focused, with comfortable seats and a straightforward dashboard. The Spyder received praise for its stylish design and overall affordability, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious drivers looking for a sporty and stylish convertible. Despite its strengths, the Spyder did face criticism for its relatively low power output and occasional reliability issues. However, its unique blend of affordability, style, and open-air driving experience made the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder a memorable entry in the convertible sports car market.
