Key Points:
100,000-mile powertrain warranty
Offender #1 is the rear seat
Premium for power and not much else
Is Mitsubishi still offering 100,000-mile powertrain coverage on its cars?
Yes. The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, and seven years or 100,000 miles of corrosion protection. What’s the worst aspect of the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?
It’s gotta be that rear seat, or at least what Mitsu calls a seat. It’s painfully cramped and the black leather in our tester was pathetic, not to mention altogether different from the two-tone suede up front. For buyers hell bent on buying an Eclipse, should they opt for the less expensive GS model?
Price and horsepower would be the major points to consider here. Though the GT offers an additional 101 horsepower and a slick six-speed manual transmission, it also carries a $4,000 premium. Otherwise, upgraded brakes and a few nonessential features are all that separate the two. The options list is longer for the GT, but they have the potential of adding thousands of dollars to the sticker price.
