Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
The interior of the car is one of the pleasant surprises of the car. Our GT test car featured the "Premium Sport Package" which included two-tone leather seats and a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with a 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate Audio System and 10" subwoofer. Even without these options, the interior of the car is well appointed and uses attractive materials. The two-tone orange leather seats in the GT seem somewhat over the top, but they will certainly get you noticed. The interior is especially above par in the GS, which comes standard with comfortable and sturdy cloth bucket seats and an mp3-compatible CD player. Everything from the options to the quality of materials is above standard for a car in its price range. While the front two seats offered plenty of room for the driver and passenger, the same couldn't be said for the rear seats. The back seats are small and should mainly be relegated to overflow luggage duty. Even a small adult will have to tilt his or her head to fit it under the glass hatchback just over the rear seats. Another complaint was the view from inside the car. The driver sits relatively low with high door sills and small windows, offering a small view of the world outside the car. The sharply raked rear window provides a Lamborghini-like rear view, and massive C-pillars completely block the view of the blind spot, a necessity in the multi-lane freeways of city traffic.
