Christian Wardlaw’s Advice about the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder:
The main reason to consider the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is because you’re bowled over by its styling, inside and out. Don’t buy it because you think you’ll take three friends for a ride, and don’t buy it because you think it’s a sports car. You won’t, and it’s not. The Eclipse is a styling statement, and if you like the look, Mitsubishi provides no credible reason to skip the car in terms of driving pleasure, comfort, or convenience. With some attention to detail on the quality side, the Eclipse would be just about perfect for its likely demographic – people wanting a flashy, affordable convertible that sounds good and goes faster than whatever they’re driving now. A terrific powertrain warranty only sweetens the pot. As for me, I’m shopping for a Mustang, even if it’s a V6 version.

Thom Blackett’s Advice about the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder:
Whether it’s because of the drop-top driving experience, open access to that sweet exhaust note, or mostly agreeable driving dynamics, I’m left feeling in favor of the Eclipse Spyder, whereas it was “good riddance” with the coupe. Granted, the rear seat is a joke, as is rear visibility, and the interior materials need some upgrading. But the base price of the GT is less than $30,000, putting the Spyder right in the heart of its competitive segment. Plus, there’s powertrain coverage spanning 10 years or 100,000 miles and a basic warranty that lasts five years or 100,000 miles. If you’re a buyer, it would appear Mitsubishi’s got your back, in which case this ride would be worth consideration, especially if sales-hungry dealers are cutting prices. However, recent news reports suggest that Mitsubishi is in live-or-die mode in the U.S. – if sales don’t pick up with cars like the Eclipse Spyder, Mitsubishi just might sail back to Japan. Is that enough to sway a buying decision? Shoppers uncomfortable with risk would likely say yes.

Ron Perry’s Advice about the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder:
All in all, the Eclipse Spyder is a fun car to drive and soak up some summer sun, but as a friend of mine who sells cars says: “Mitsubishis are great used car buys.” The depreciation they take in the first year of ownership is horrific. The Eclipse is one of the more popular models, so if you are in love with the car and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off, buy it. If you plan to change cars every couple of years I would have to say stay away. I don’t really have anything against the Eclipse Spyder except that I feel there are better values out there for the same or less money.
