For the year 2012, a new special edition Mitsubishi Eclipse SE models debut some improvement. , Eclipse is perfect for those looking for a sporty design, but do not need a powerful engine under the hood. Carried over into the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Exterior
2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse has an aggressive look, but do not have the performance to back it up. Although affordable Eclipse sports car rivals offer a more thrilling performance, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse is offered in both four-passenger coupe and convertible (Spyder) body styles. . The coupe model is offered in four trim levels - GS, GS Sport, SE and GT - while Eclipse Spyder comes just three last types.

Interior
Interior is made with a standard that is acceptable, but no more space as you might think that with the size. Both the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder provide attractive interior design, although a little cheapened an overall impression using a low-quality plastic. Front seat comfort and support, but the lack of telescopic steering wheel means that some drivers might struggle to find a suitable driving position. Rear seatbacks are too honest to be more convenient for short trips, and passengers will also be higher headroom want more here.

Performance
basic four-cylinder engine with 162 horsepower is standard on the GS and the Sport model, the Eclipse GT to get 3.6-liter V6 good for 265 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard. This car's engine requires premium gasoline and fuel economy is 17 mpg city/25 mpg to 20 mpg road-expected combinations.

Safety
2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder has a safety standard includes four-wheel ABS brakes, stability control and front seat side impact airbags. Stability control is standard on Eclipse, such as antilock disc brakes, side impact airbags, and side-curtain bags (except in the Spyder with a roof). Safety stale value, and the NHTSA and IIHS will not retest Eclipse in a new ranking system.

Competitors for consideration
Mitsubishi Eclipse front wheel drive, which is unusual for an affordable sports car. This means that instead of pulling with the handling of cars like the Mazda Miata or Nissan 370Z. We recommend buyers try the V6 Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang V6 and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The whole best choice. If you are just looking for fuel economy and good sexy, put the Kia Forte Koup and Scion tC to test drive in your list.
