2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

Mitsubishi's advertising/marketing and exterior style stirred little personal interest for some, but the V-6 has plenty of useable torque between 2000 and 3000 rpm that allows spirited urban driving without having to drive it like you stole it. You need to be a bit careful with the throttle tip-in, or it'll squeal its all-season tires at launch. Come on, guys, all-season tires on a 270-horsepower front-drive car? How can we put the power down when all the tires do is break free? Either give us grippier tires or AWD as options. The windshield also tried to eat a rock--and lost. We'll look into a replacement at the first service interval, which is coming up soon.
