If you don't recognize at a glance what makes the 2001 Eclipse attractive, then no words will suffice to explain it. Typical of Mitsubishi products, this car's styling is bold and extremely individualized. If you are looking for a sporty, stylish, great-handling convertible, the 2001 Eclipse should be on your list. Its standard features - air conditioning, power windows and locks, power mirrors, cruise control - are impressive. The Eclipse has stepped away from the previous model's twenty something flashiness to become serious competition for some much more expensive European convertibles - cars that really aren't accustomed to being challenged by mid-priced Japanese cars.
