The 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two-door, front-wheel-drive coupe that operates on a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. The Eclipse offered two engines: a 162-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine on the GS trim, and a 263-hp 3.8L V6 on the high-performance GT model. The GT version also sports a 6-speed manual transmission for the driving purists. Notable features include 17-inch alloy wheels, Rockford Fosgate audio, leather upholstery, and heated seats in the convertible Spyder variant. The 2008 model year benefited from minor styling updates and further equipped the GT trim with a standard electronic stability system.
