2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty coupe, while
the 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a convertible.
They both possess first rate acceleration, handling
and road-holding capabilities and come in GS, GT and
new top of the line GTS models. Finally, a base model
of the Eclipse Coupe, the RS, is available.
These are both stylish rides that will look good, drive
well and suit a variety of purposes. Whether you are
looking for a convertible to cruise on down the strip
or a hatchback coupe for the weekend getaway for two,
some version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse can fit the bill.
Under The Hood
Regardless of the model you buy, the engine choices
are fairly straightforward. The RS and GS models have
4-cylinder engines and come standard with a 5-speed
manual transmission. All models come with optional 4-speed
automatics, which, with the GS and up, have a manual
shift gate. There are a few other small distinctions.
The GT and GTS models are V6 dohc equipped, but the
GT Coupe has only 200 hp compared to 210 on the GTS
Coupe and both the GT and GTS Spyders.
Dual-front airbags are standard safety features on
all models, while front-side airbags and ABS brakes
are standards for the GTS, but not available on the
other models. Other drivability features are added on
to the base model to complement the GTS; a rear spoiler,
fog lights, a sport suspension and polished alloy wheels.
Standard Features and Optional Add-ons
As with the engine choices, many different standards
are added as you go from base model to GTS. Options
can be added on top of these to make a personlized vehicle
loaded with modern conveniences.
The base RS Coupe has a standard features that one
usually finds in the add-on section; air conditioning,
AM/FM/CD player, cloth upholstery, buckets seats in
front, automatic off headlights, alloy wheels, an anti-theft
system, and power windows, door locks, mirrors and steering.
Go up through the ranks of the models and the Eclipse
becomes steadily more loaded with standards. The GS
adds cruise control, styling enhancements and has the
convertible and all it's features, for example, the
power roof. Fog lights, a rear spoiler and bigger tires
round out this version. The GTS level has a power sunroof,
leather upholstery, an audio system upgrade and a 6-way
power driver seat..
The options packages are specific to each of the modelas
and allow the features listed above to be added to those
where they don't come standard. The Sun and Sound pakckage
for instance, can be added to the GS and GT Coupe models
and includes an upgrade to the Infinity sound system
and power sunroof.
