2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Review

For the modern car buyer who is looking for a sports car that also provides good value, the 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder might be your answer. This model's bumpers (front and rear) have been updated, but that's not the only change that was made to improve the Spyder's design for the current model year.

This 2009 Mitsubishi comes equipped with high intensity discharge head lights and an Active Stability Control system to improve safety for all occupants. The exhaust system has also been upgraded for this model year, which means that the Spyder's horsepower increased to 265 from 260.

Choose from either a V-6 (GT) or a four-cylinder model known as the GS. The GT version comes with a 3.8 liter engine capable of producing 262 lb.-ft. of torque. Buyers have the option of ordering either a five-speed automatic transmission or a six speed manual one.

The GS model is equipped with a 2.4 liter engine and consumers also have the option of choosing between a manual or automatic transmission. If you decide on the manual transmission, you will be getting a five-speed one, and the automatic option is of the four-speed variety.

When you slip behind the wheel of the Eclipse Spyder, you will be impressed by the center display panel that indicates the outside temperature and features a compass. Other interesting features this model is equipped with include heated exterior mirrors and front seats, leather seats, and a removable wind deflector (on the Sport Package only). Front bucket seats complete the sporty look.

Three different color schemes are available to car buyers interested in the 2008 Eclipse Spyder. You have the option of choosing between terra cotta (Avante Garde), medium gray (Hi-Q Sport), and charcoal (Techno-Sport).

This model's top folds down and stores out of sight, thanks to the tonneau cover. On warm days when you want to enjoy the feeling of fresh air as you race over open roads, you will be impressed by the fact that the top can be completely folded down in less than 20 seconds. Instead of having a top made of vinyl, the Spyder boasts a cloth top, which gives it a higher-quality appearance.

There are drawbacks to buying a sports car for less that $30,000. Realize that the backseat is basically unusable for humans. More importantly for most sports car owners, drivers say that the torque power is lacking and results in a large turning radius. Nevertheless, if you think the benefits outweigh these drawbacks, it is a pretty ride with a sporty look. The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder has an MSRP of $26,799 to start which comparatively reasonable for this type of vehicle.
