RIP THE TOP OFF CONVENTION
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a convertible version of the Eclipse coupe. In most regards, the Spyder provides a similar driving and ownership experience to the coupe, which means sleek styling, four-passenger seating, a powerful available V6 and a reasonable amount of comfort.
With the Spyder in the affordable convertible segment, Mitsubishi has taken a balanced approach. With nimble and sporty two-seat roadsters on one end of the spectrum and four-seat family-sedan-based convertibles on the other, the Eclipse sits comfortably in the middle. Historically, the Spyder's closest competitors have been convertible pony cars such as the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang.
The Spyder has been available for all Eclipse generations except the first, and has occasionally dropped out of existence as new generations of the Eclipse debuted. Whether new or used, the Spyder should satisfy a shopper desiring a sporty drop top that provides plenty of wind-in-the-hair fun.
Current Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
The front-wheel-drive Eclipse Spyder is available in base GS and sporty GT trims and shares its basic platform with the Galant sedan. The GS is reasonably well-equipped with air-conditioning and full power features, along with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine good for 162 horsepower. In addition to its burly 265-hp, 3.8-liter V6, the GT has a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, stability control, xenon headlights and foglights. Both models have a power-operated convertible soft top.
The GS can be equipped with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. The GT comes with a six-speed manual, and a five-speed automatic is optional. Popular Eclipse Spyder options include heated leather front seats and a powerful Rockford Fosgate audio system.
In reviews, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder has earned
favorable commentary for its powerful V6 engine, comfortable front
seating and stylish interior. - edmunds.com
