The Mitsubishi Eclipse, a two-door coupe, was a popular choice among enthusiasts during its production run from 1989 to 2012. The 2000-2002 model years, particularly the 2001 model, marked a significant shift for the Eclipse, introducing a new generation with a sharper, more modern design. This generation featured a larger, more powerful engine, a wider track, and revised suspension, offering enhanced performance and handling compared to previous iterations. The Eclipse’s sporty appearance was further accentuated by its low-slung profile, aggressive front fascia with a prominent grille, and sculpted body lines. Inside, the cabin was driver-oriented, featuring supportive seats and a well-laid-out dashboard. Though not as luxurious as its competitors, the Eclipse provided a comfortable and functional driving experience.

Underneath the hood, the 2001 Eclipse was available with two engine options: a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower, and a 3.0-liter V6 that generated 200 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. The manual transmission provided a more engaging driving experience, offering quick shifts and better fuel economy. The automatic, while less sporty, offered convenience for daily driving. The Eclipse was also known for its responsive handling, thanks to its independent suspension and precise steering. This combination allowed for a fun and engaging driving experience on winding roads and straightaways alike. The 2001 Eclipse served as a testament to Mitsubishi's commitment to delivering sporty and affordable coupes, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of performance and style.
