Mitsubishi Spyder

[donf]

Anyone own one of these? I'm looking at a 2002 GT (6 cyl)
Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder convertible w/5 speed manual. Any good/bad ratings from JCF members?

My brother-in law has the four banger version. Chick car in my opinion, but you can give em some balls.

I thought they were planning to get out of the car business all together...............

Re: Mitsubishi Spyder

I like em esp. the convertible. Not sure on the overall rating I think they aren't as good as Toyota and Honda

Mitsubishi makes nice forklifts.

Re: Mitsubishi Spyder

Mitsubishi make great cars, there are alot of companies that use their engines. Chrysler, Hyundai and others have used Mitsu power plants. Also of historical signifigance(sp) I beleive they built Zeros during WWII. The spyder is nice and a six cylinder would probably be the way to go.

Re: Mitsubishi Spyder

Thanks for the input. I have to wait until tomorrow to decide, Honda, Toyota would be the way to go, and I really enjoyed the Camry's ride, but my son's call it an 'Old Man's car. I don't think so, but they're hounding me. I'm really looking for a convertible, which is why I kinda narrowed it down to the Spyder. I own a Sebring convertible, so I don't want the same thing. Besides, it's my wifes. Solara's are too expensive, though I wish I could find one. That would make a Toyota/convertible....great combo. I've always liked Ford's, just not the Mustang, so that's out. I'll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks again

Re: Mitsubishi Spyder

Mitsubishi is in big time trouble. Plus, many of their motors are prone to crank walk. Not good. They have and do make some pretty great machines, I would love an EVO, a Galant VR-4 or a 3000GT VR-4, but they are all problematic.

You said you don't want it, but you should consider it...get a Mustang man. I bleed Ford Blue and there is no better bang for the buck hotrod than a Mustang. I should know, I have owned 6.

Can't do it Mike. I've had T-Birds and loved them. I just can't do the Mustangs. Don't know what it is.

This Mitsubishi has a lot of miles on it too. It's on Ebay, but if I do it, I'll wait for it to go off line, then deal with the guy. I've already talked to him. Seems pretty straight up. Car has a lot of mileage for 2002, but if a Mitsubishi can run for 200-250k, or more then it would be worth it. Here is the car and I wouldn't be paying the BIN price.
