Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs Sport 2012 Owners Manual
Fun little car by Chriss on Jan 20, 2018 Vehicle: 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A) Actually my daughter purchased this car back in November, and I love it. The 4 cylinder motor isn't the fastest car on the road but it is really fun to drive. The sound system rocks and the heated seats are nice to have this winter. With a 10 inch bass cannon behind the back seat, the neighbors here us when we come and go. Lots of nice features with this car. Cannot comment on long term dependability since our 2012 has only 35,000 miles, but we love it so far.
Slow, heavy, cheap interior materials, gas guzzler by Sean on Jun 22, 2017 Vehicle: 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-Sport 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A) do NOT buy this car unless you are a short female. The seats hurt you spinal cord, neck and hips like a mother-fkr! I regret purchasing this car.
The looks are great don't get me wrong but the power is horrid with the 4cyl. Everything in the car is ghetto-cheap plastic. What was Mitsubishi thinking???????? My spinal cord hurts now as I type this in my home. The car has destroyed my body. I've seen chiropractors, acupuncturist galore. I have owned the car 5 years and planning on buying an SUV just so my body can heal!
I'm really heartbroken w/Mitsubishi. If you do buy one make sure it's 6cyl and please be short or your body WILL suffer!
Mitsubish eclipse by Janice Kahn on Jun 9, 2017 Vehicle: 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-Sport 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 4A) This car was listed as an automatic but it's a stick shift. It made a horrible noise when I was driving it and the salesman said they'd have the shop look at it. Although listed with blue tooth, there is no blue tooth. Although listed with a sun roof, there was no sun roof. The stick shift's numbers were all rubbed off.
The salesman suggested I write them back on. The car looked well enough cosmetically. Just minor dings and scratches.
It was just ok, nothing special. The price was listed at one price and I was going to buy it buy they added on over $2000. For I don't remember what. Bringing the price well over the original price.
When I told them that the price was listed much lower they gave me excuses but refused to lower it so I passed on it. As I told them, it was a stick shift, when I wanted automatic, there was no blue tooth, so I'd have to change out the radio. And the car was nothing special to purchase it at the price they wanted. Introduction Every once in a while a car's name takes on a second and entirely unintended meaning. Such is the case with the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The Eclipse coupe and Spyder convertible, both in their last year of production, were once darlings of the sport compact scene.
In the last few years, however, a new breed of inexpensive, fun-to-drive coupes and convertibles have literally eclipsed the old favorite. The problems start under the hood.
Even when this latest-generation Eclipse was new, its base four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic were pretty mediocre. Today, that combination lags in both performance and fuel economy. The 265-horsepower V6 powering the Eclipse GT is a better fit for the car's avant-garde styling, but again it's outclassed. Most current V6 sport coupes and convertibles boast at least 300 hp and better fuel economy.
Other downsides include a small backseat, lackluster interior quality and a high price. The latter might not be much of an issue, as dealers will likely have plenty of cash incentives to wave around. Even so, we'd recommend shoppers try the, and. All are better choices. If you're only looking for a sexy shape and good fuel economy, put the Kia Forte Koup and Scion tC on your test-drive list. Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse is offered in both four-passenger coupe and convertible (Spyder) body styles.
Coupe models are offered in four trim levels - GS, GS Sport, SE and GT - while the Eclipse Spyder comes in just those last three flavors. The entry-level GS model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, variable intermittent wipers, air-conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, full power accessories, a tilt-only steering wheel, 50/50 split-folding rear seatbacks and a six-speaker CD sound system with an auxiliary audio input jack.
The GS Sport adds xenon headlights, foglights, a sunroof, heated power mirrors, a rear wiper, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a six-way power driver seat, Bluetooth and a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system with six-CD changer, satellite radio and steering wheel controls. The Spyder GS Sport includes a power convertible roof. The new SE model gets all that, plus special styling details that include distinctive dark gray alloy wheels, matching rocker panel graphics and black mirrors. The GT adds a 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. Powertrains and Performance 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 auto comes standard on the GS Sport and SE.

EPA estimated fuel economy with either transmission is 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined. The Eclipse GT 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.
Interior Design and Special Features Both the Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder 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. Rear seatbacks are too upright to be comfortable for more than a short trip, and taller passengers will also crave more headroom here.
Those seatbacks split 50/50, however, and folding down both sections creates a healthy 15.7 cubic feet of cargo room. The most notable difference in the Spyder's passenger cabin is that the three-layer cloth convertible top makes for limited visibility out the back. The power-operated top can be lowered in about 20 seconds, but doing so cuts cargo capacity to a meager 5.2 cubic feet. Driving Impressions 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. Handling is competent, though the large turning circle hampers slow-speed maneuverability.

The Spyder exhibits noticeable chassis flex over rough pavement, but not enough to detract from the joys of al fresco motoring.
