Capt. Drifty Tries out a New Eclipse

OK Guys As u know Gotian and Musashi are doing it too. but My Buddy is car hunting so i deside to join in on it...

The all New 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.4L.

On Arrival to the dealer:
Well as we showed up at the Dealer the salesman was Really Cool. my Buddy DarkLancer Took off running when he saw the New Evo 9. So My other Buddy (his name is Hoo)and The wifey decide to look for something in Hoo's Price range and we ran into the Eclipse. Starting MSRP is roughly $20,000. I asked the sales man where the V-6 version was the guy told me the olny v-6 the had was inside the showroom so we were cool on testing the i-4 model

First Glance:
It a Smooth Looking Car. I expected a Really Horrible drive compared to my Old 97 Dsm. but one thing is for sure. the car has and I quote my GF "Its Got a really Big bubble Butt like a hooker". under the hood the 2.4L 4-cylinder is well organized and over all upon getting into it my pespective changed.

Interior:
The Gauge cluster is Clean and crisp. the Speedo gives u and Digital readout in KM/h, and MPh is still the good old needle. the steering wheel is very nice to grip and the Seats are really comfy, but they also hold u in real snug. and the rear seat is nearly non-existant. as in all eclipses.

The Ride:
The Damn things Purs Like a kitty until you mash the gas (especially when u are using the tiptronic on that bastard!) then it sounds like a true sporty compact. Not Ricey at all, it sounds very mean...the car Was an auto because Hoo doesnt know how to drive a stick car yet. but the tiptronic is Very Good compared to the Previous cars I have tested with tiptronic (RX-8, Is300)Also the Eclipse can break tration really easy without u even trying.Overall the car is one of the smoothest ride you'll ever get.

Pros:
Sounds Good, rides nice, and really puts out when slam the gas and a Doll around a bend or curves

Cons:
well....erm......If you Like Big Butts and you cannot lie,and you other brothers cant deny. this is your car

verdict:
I thought the car was gonna be a Sack of overrated hype but i was proven wrong. its pretty sweet and i reccomend as at least one car that you guys gotta test out this year.
