The 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, a sporty coupe, marked a significant point in the model's history, representing the third generation of the iconic car. This generation, known internally as the "Eclipse Cross Coupe," brought with it a renewed focus on design and performance, appealing to a younger audience seeking a stylish and affordable sports car. The Eclipse's sleek, aerodynamic exterior was highlighted by a distinctive sloping roofline, aggressive front fascia, and available rear spoiler. Under the hood, the 2003 Eclipse offered a choice of two powerful engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 152 horsepower, catering to fuel efficiency and affordability, and a 3.0-liter V6 engine generating a potent 200 horsepower for those seeking more exhilarating performance.
Beyond its attractive aesthetics and spirited powertrains, the 2003 Eclipse was recognized for its surprisingly comfortable interior, featuring supportive seats, a well-designed dashboard, and ample space for both driver and passenger. The inclusion of standard features like power windows, locks, and mirrors, along with an optional premium sound system and sunroof, further enhanced the overall driving experience. However, despite its strengths, the 2003 Eclipse also faced criticisms for its somewhat compromised handling and a relatively noisy cabin at higher speeds. Nevertheless, the car remained a popular choice for those seeking a stylish and affordable entry into the world of sports cars, offering a balance of performance, comfort, and practicality that resonated with a wide range of drivers.
