New for 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse receives styling updates including a larger jet-fighter inspired grille evoking the new Lancer, and a new rear spoiler for the GT. The front and rear fascias are a single color for Eclipse ES and two-tone for the GT, which now features standard HID headlights and a new, more powerful sound from a dual exhaust system that raises engine output to 265 horsepower. The GT also receives standard Active Stability Control (ASC). Three new exterior colors are Maizen Blue pearl, Quick Silver metallic and Solar, a vibrant new yellow.
ConsumerReports.org® Short Take
The GT's powerful engine is the major appeal. The cockpit is very cramped, and the rear seat is unusable. Handling lacks agility. The four-cylinder engine is noisy and the manual transmission is clunky. Reliability has been average, but the Eclipse scored too low in our testing to be recommended. IIHS crash-test results for the convertible are impressive.
