This is the most honest review yet. Everybody seems to have so much shit to talk about Mitsubishi, but they only got rid of the evo because you cheap bastards weren't buying them brand new! Their cars/trucks have always been solid and reliable. This crossover is no different. Granted they shouldn't have used the legendary eclipse name, but it's a very well built SUV.

db60615 But only reason why no one was buying brand new, is because they switched automatic only (2015) and kept the same design for way too long. They could have created a new generation that appealed to the always changing car demand

These cars are incredibly gutless. Its painfully slow. To the point people blow the horn at you during a green light because it won't accelerate. Its also but ass ugly and third taking the eclipse name and slapping it on a terrible SUV pretty much shit on every thing good about the brand.

It's not because we weren't buying new one it's because they were modding the shit out first the eclipses 4g63s and then evos breaking it and then we're suing Mitsubishi for not fixing them. And these same guys are typing comments like this eclipse cross is is a dis grace and that grace. These self loathing folks cannot just say what's true.
The haters on this channel are the people who have NEVER even driven this car, but have the guts to say their opinion. LOL!!

This car is shit and I own one. I CANT wait to trade this shit. The engine is so unrefined and interior plastics are straight shit. Fuel economy is garbage ive never gotten more than 25 mpg.
Id rather have the Outlander Sport. Love my lil Mirage though. Glad Mitsubishi is making a comeback.
Nice review, Sarah. I've almost forgotten about Mitsubishi, but this car looks to be a contender in the crossover market. Keep up the good work.
What's stopping them from dropping an Evo X engine in that thing?
I’m so confused to pick this Mitsubishi or Jeep Compass pls advise
How is this compete with rav4 or anything else similar?
Loved the review! Makes me want to test one out! :)
Evo devolved
I was just lamenting the other day that the Eclipse is no longer made. Saw the thumbnail video, got all excited . . . only to be horrible let down. :P

I'm pretty sure everyone's obsession with crossovers is the ride height. For some reason for a lot of people sitting higher is more comfortable. Something about being able to look down on the road. I mean look at something as small as the Ford ecosport, it may as well be a car, there's sedans with more interior space and larger trunks. The entire purpose is ride height.
Ahhhhhh, Sarah. Why no recent reviews here. I found your channel of course and following your exploits there, but these folks need your touch too. Loved your reviews here. They need the beans and meat balls here too. ;)
The rear of this remind me of the Pontiac Aztek, who In my opinion, started this trend when I was in jr high. The interior looks good too. Great review!

Good, objective review. Keep up the good work, Sarah.
I think it's price and form factor is in the current sales sweet spot. We'll have to see if it does well.
Yes, Mitsubishi should bring back the 3000 GT, except that it would probably be a 3 row SUV now. This doesn't look like a bad car for somebody looking for this kind of car. I have a problem with calling it an Eclipse. This current trend of giving boring cars the same names as exciting models from the past has to stop. It doesn't make the new car (a 150hp tall hatchback that doesn't handle or accelerate) exciting. It puts a stain on the memory of an exciting car from the past (an AWD sports car with 200+ stock horsepower - a remarkable number I the 90s.) Now, let's all go watch Brian O'Connor ripping around in the original Eclipse in the original Fast and Furious and remember what an Eclipse was, not what it's become.

Mitsubishi is actually earning from other industry products. Their vehicles are selling more in North America, Europe, and especially in Asia markets. Their profits increase 36% already this year already, selling vehicle only. They doing quite well, than some car brands, like GM right now. They closed down most of their plants and cutting off 6 brands, including Buick and Cadillac etc.

Drove the 2018 today.Quietest cuv under hard acceleration I have driven.Drove the 2019 RAV 4 today also.The loudest .Ridiculous
Interesting review though I would have liked a more detailed description of the engine. Wish I had road and tracks like in the video to drive on. :(
I'd love to see this with a respectable size wagon bed. (For that matter, I'd love to see all the crossovers with a bigger sized wagon bed.)
Very nice review and entertaining-I laughed out loud at the kids drag racing deterrent comment. Would love to get Sarah’s impressions of the new Forester, beanless though it may be (I’d imagine it loses too much personality compared to her tuned XT)
I really liked this cute compact Suv when I had it. Now I moved on to the Outland LE which is much bigger and lots of cargo space.
Can i have the eclipse coupe back please. Who's making their decisions?
I just bought the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Limited Edition this summer and I love it! You’re probably the first person I’ve seen in a review who like the back lights and the track pad. My car works great in gravel mode and I have no problems on pavement. Feature wise it’s great for the price and it’s good on gas too.

I had one of these on my channel. SEL auto in white. I liked it mostly but had a few little annoyances. No sat nav! The split window is a bit unnecessary and rear wipers are little ineffective. You stay it looks like a space shuttle and I agree. I mention similar in my own video.

It is not like Subaru wanted to do it. EPA is forcing car makers to become more fuel efficient. Thats why full size trucks are coming up with v6 and midsize cars are paired with 1.4l 4cyl. i am surprised subaru kept the 2.5l ; h6 is gone from the lineup. Just like Honda is dropping V6; turbo charged 2.5l with 300hp gets 15mpg

I love my Gen 1 Scion xB, has no fancy plastic or leather interior it just works and is fun to drive. Radio, MP3 player and alarm can be changed at local electronic store for under $100. Good Detailer can spif the interior easily. I am sorry to see the $30,000 EVO performance car disappear, but this Station Wagon is not a replacement for a fun, easy to build every day driver with 500 horsepower.
This, with a Ralliart trim, Getrag 6-speed manual and a turbo 4 cylinder engine and it'll give the Forester XT a run for its money.

Do you actually know her personally? 😱
I still drive my 1998 Mitsu 3000GT and have been waiting for Mitsu to make another sportscar since I love my car! Very depressed when I went to car show a couple years back and found out that Mitsu squashed the new 3000 project. My car is FWD and great in winter and fast (at higher speeds) she’s a heavy car but not all plasticy like vehicles today. At least if I could have an option like an Evo without havin to buy an older one 😭
Are we supposed to look at the car?
I had a souped up '98 Eclipse back in 2000. 😎 Was just thinking about seeing if they make new Eclipses, for a possible purchase next year? I see this is what they call an Eclipse now? 😲😨 Think I'll just look at buying a '98 again! 😮

Unfortunately, they aren’t in the best financial situation, and they need to do what they can to make a profit. They know that crossovers are hot today, so they make that to survive.

Mitsubishi had something amazing in the Evo and would've done really well if they would've made every Lancer an AWD to compete with Subaru. If the Eclipse would've had a serious engine and RWD, I would've wanted one.

Mitsubishi new hit 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Please do more research, as Mitsubishi moved away from the DCT for a reason. The Evo X MR and Lancer Ralliart both used the DCT, and it was very unreliable. Getrag's DCT was a nightmare (shift fork & magnet issues, slipping clutches, etc etc etc). Countless issues with that transmission, which is why Mitsubishi doesn't use it anymore.
I'm not a fan. My wife has a Montero with over 200,000 miles and we were looking to get another Mitsubishi as a replacement but dang I am not impressed with anything they make currently. The mirage maybe at least it doesn't have a cvt.
