'06 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse receives several styling enhancements after the 2005 model year. As a coupe or a hatchback, the 2006 make of the Eclipse does not externally reflect too many changes in the dimension – with the exception of the coupe that gains a few inches since the 2005 model year.

The 2006 Eclipse is powered by either an I-4 or a V-6 engine. Several trim levels with different variations of the standard powertrain are available. For example, the GS trim level delivers a horsepower of 162hp. At the same time, the more powerful V6 of the GT model can hit as much as 263 horsepower. The Sportronic automatic transmission is available with four speed options in the GS and five in the GT models.

The availability of a rear spoiler is a definite indication of the extent of power that the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is capable of delivering. The GT model also has a traction control mechanism for better handling.
