The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sleek, sporty coupe tailored for those craving a spirited drive. It belongs to the fourth generation of the Eclipse series. Under the hood, there is a choice of two engines: a 2.4 liter inline-4 that produces 162 horsepower for the GS trim, and a 3.8 liter V6 boasting 265 horsepower for the GT model. Both engines come mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission, with an optional four-speed (GS) or five-speed (GT) automatic. All Eclipse models are front-wheel drive. Inside the cabin, the 2009 Eclipse includes key features like a 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate stereo, satellite radio, auxiliary audio input jack, as well as safety features like anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and curtain-type airbags. One significant change for 2009 was the introduction of stability control as standard for GT models, and a sunroof on GS models.
