2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Hatchback

2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Mitsubishi production now presents the latest car with a more sporty and look very luxurious sedan this one is of particular concern because of the design presented looks very interesting. Several new technologies are added and also supported a maximum engine performance and sophisticated.

Speed of the increase was slightly but several problems arise under the hood. Although the latest model released but had no effect on the problem and appear to look ordinary. But this model also prioritizes fuel frugality.

2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Performances

Power for the front-wheel-drive 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder comes from one of two engines. GS, GS Sport and SE models come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 162 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The GS comes standard with a five-speed manual, while a four-speed automatic is an option.

The Eclipse gets a 3.6-liter V6 good for 265 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard. This engine requires premium fuel and its estimated fuel economy is 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Mitsubishi Eclipse standard safety features include four-wheel antilock brakes, stability control and front seat side-impact airbags. Coupe models also get front side curtain airbags. The rear seats lack head restraints.

2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Interior Design

The Eclipse offer attractive interiors, though the overall impression is cheapened somewhat by the use of low-quality plastics. Front seats are comfortable and supportive, but the lack of a telescoping steering wheel means some drivers may struggle to find an ideal driving position. Then, add standard V6 engine, bigger rear brakes, a sport-tuned suspension and automatic climate control. There are no significant factory options to speak of, but there are a number of dealer-installed accessories including an iPod adapter.

Behind the wheel, the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse underwhelms. The four-cylinder engine can barely propel the hefty car with any authority. The more powerful V6 is better suited to this application, though hard acceleration usually results in spinning tires and heavy doses of torque steer.
