ITS A FUN VIDEO TRUST ME! 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Review 

If it at least had the 1.5T from the Nissan Rogue, that would be decent.

Yeah, the "trust me" in the title reminded me of the finance office at the Mitsu dealership.

Lol guys. GUYSSSSS ITS NOT THAT BAD -yuri

Whoever chose that title needs a raise

@@TheStraightPipesIT DOESNT LOOK BAD IT DOESNT LOOK BAD IT DOESNT LOOK BAD…. 😂 😊

I absolutely agree 🤬 as former Eclipse owner (1994 ) they should have named it something else

Okay then! What about Ford naming an EV SUV after one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time, even lately also sportscar, and also even badging that thing with the Mustang emblem all around?

@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv this is a video about a mitsubishi vehicle… why are you bringing another car brand and model into it? As for your question. The same response. Idk why you would expect different

And I will never forgive Ford for naming a truck after a car

@@Liatin1 You're talking to someone who believes in a magical skyfairy. You shouldn't expect logic or reason.

I've heard he got Jacuzzi and Yakuza mixed up........ now he's in hot-water with the Japanese mafia

Same here. Cynicism in the car community has left a sour taste in my mouth, but I can always watch a TSP review with a smile.

Just like your dad that went to get milk, he’s not coming back ..

Lindsay Lohan

@@TheStraightPipes She was my first crush as a lil kid watching Herbie. 😅

Same in my area of Knoxville,TN. The Outlander is everywhere around here.

They have no frills and people really like that. Plus in my area of Orlando there's a guy with a pink mirage that's been going strong for a decade. See him everywhere lol

That's my thing, they're pretty barebones but they're pretty solid.

They are rock solid commuters and bulletproof reliability.

a sedan and bring over the new Montero, all they have is 2 small crossovers

Fun video! Not a fun a car -yuri

​@@TheStraightPipes🤓

@@TheStraightPipes I made you respond to me 😂❤️

Eh, ASEAN people still have faith in Mitsubishi because of Xpander, Triton and Pajero Sport

I know that the roughly 2002/3 Montero was awesome. May as well’ve been called the Canyonero. Go back to that Mitsubishi. Also, the Kia/Hyundai in this seg. Have ventilated seats, sorta/kinda? But glad Jakob brought up at all haha

I knew a guy who was convinced his automatic transmission 1991 Camaro RS was going to run 11s in the quarter mile with his new headers. He ran a 17 at the drag strip and drove straight home from the end of the drag strip after the first run

I know a 40 year old that thinks that. His last car was a turbo Cruz with under glows posted on Facebook, before it got repoed. 😂😂😂

​​@@areituDamn that's kinda sad but how could really that think ahahaa

An escape and a journey? How did they survive with both of those in the same driveway? Mitsubishi just saved them

@@markcoopers1930 I think they were just tired of them breaking down. Now they have 2 new cars with a warranty.

@markcoopers1930 escapes are far better than dodge (Stelantis) Journeys

I had one too and they wouldn’t let me swap it. Worst rental ever 😂

Forgot the Delica

They still make Pajero for other markets. Even the Triton pickup truck is quite good. Sadly we only get boring SUVs in NA.

You should check out the pre-facelift version. It really looks like an Aztec in the back. Lol

it's kinda grown on me the past few years, if they toned down the front it would sell even more

@@danielzhang1916 I have a soft spot for Mitsubishis. I've owned 2 Outlanders (07 & 10) an Outlander Sport and a Mirage (98). I'm nervous that Nissan is going to drive them into the ground though...

prices are ridiculous, $35k for a compact suv these days, you can't get a car cheaper than that now

They also do bumper to bumper 10yr/120k for like 600 bucks (or at least they used to)

Most people hate it because of that Eclipse nameplate on a crossover. It just doesn't fit well.

It's a great car. Japanese cars are known to last. Plus it's rare. You hardly see anybody driving an eclipse cross. Most people have outlander sports and outlander.

=Slow

@TheTyisawesome nothing in this class Is fast, except for the mazda cx5 turbo , outlander phev or rav 4 prime. You are fooling yourself if you think other crossovers are much faster.

It DOES look bad.

@@mr_nobody867fifetreeOniner it does not look as bad as the kia sportage, Rav 4, hyundai kona, all those cars are extremely ugly. the rav 4 keeps getting uglier each version. dont talk about the new hyundai santa fe, boxy , ugly and only gets 21mpg

Especially the first eclipse cross. It even had the same rear bar that blocked the view on yhe back hatch. I think the aztek looks better than the first gen eclipse cross

What people never understood is that line in the rear view mirror was actually a throw-back to the original eclipse, the one with the raised spoiler in back.

Classic Mitsubishi

we rented the old Trax last year, it had enough power to get around, it's not trying to be a Mustang

@danielzhang1916 the new trax actually gets 30mpg mixed city and highway , it's a 3 cylinder engine, that is pretty good for a crossover.

@@warcrabcyber9908 3 cyl / turbo 4 cylinder is the future of cars, no more V6

Dare I say it, the 1.5T in the Eclipse feels more usable down low than the Rav4 2.5L non-hybrid motor. It also doesn't sound as gruff either, though the Toyota does get better MPG.

@Trades46 there is actually a fuel economy test / channel on youtube and they did real world tests with the 2022 rav 4 model with the 2.5 engine, it actually gets around 25.4mpg with mixed driving vs 25 with the eclipse cross. The rav 4 strength is on highway only driving, some eclipse cross users with the 2wd models actually get 29mpg on the highway, the awd really sucks fuel. But if you live in a snow country the awd will make it superior in those conditions

I honestly thought they exited the Canadian market because I haven't seen a new one on the road in the last 5 years. Apparently they still have dealerships in Toronto, but no one buys them.

now they merged with Nissan, so they're sharing parts now

@@MrKevinWhite I've seen the Outlander every so often, it seems to be selling decently

That's lame.. it should be sporty.. with the eclipse name

Here in the southern Black Forest in Germany you can see some of them driving around. My uncle has one too.

Sure it is lol. I see them everywhere so I don’t know that you’re on 🥴

@@Lugiavsgiratina really So try buying a New one.

Same.

It's actually a great car all around

And also the Montero and Pajero. Those were off road SUVs.

@@jonlosito2004 exactly!👍🏻 those were cool too!

@@jonlosito2004 they should have brought it back again, it would sell well instantly

I can see Roman Pearce pulling up in one of these with the fam. Better looking than the 3rd gen Eclipse IMO!

frfr

Yea... Felt like it was on an old CRT monitor 😂😂

Always!

Mitsubishi makes vehicles for people who know nothing about cars and their credit is so bad they got rejected by nissan. Mitsubishi dealerships might as well be repo companies

My outlander phev out handles my stock Mazda 3

Mitsubishi haven't made cars for decades, they take other manufacturer stuff and try to cobble together something that resembles a car and sell it for the same price. Why people buy it, who knows.

Mitsubishi really just made it's motor division to make money for their actual business (which is pretty much anything and everything) they are kinda the Hyundai of Japan (they make a lot of things)

Please elaborate.... ​@@UhOhUmm

@@blue_lancer_es Mitsubishi used to be on a Chrysler platform for years, not Japanese at all. Now they are on Renault/Nissan platform, also very little to do with Mitsubishi or Japan. They are using a dying brand name to move product instead of trying to create something.

@@UhOhUmm you have half a point. 70s. Dodge used mitsu cars. 80s. Same mitsu cars rebadged as dodges. Even dodge used some engines on their own cars. 90s. Yep... Same thing. Dsm was a joint venture. Were made in the US but most parts were from mitsu(not all) 2000s even thought DSM was no longer they still collaborated even partnering with hyundai to make the gema engine between the 3. Anyway it's a long topic. Yes now mitsubishi is a nissan Renault entity. But 70s 80s 90s 2000s they were the ones supplying Chrysler,not the other way around.

My man - Jakub

I said it’s not bad but other stuff is better lol

That's the problem with RU-vid car review channels. They expect everything to be 300 plus horsepower with the best infotainment and the best quality on a 30k car lol. They tend to forget they are reviewing your averages family hauler. They are too used to driving high end cars.

No we don’t forget. I compared it to every vehicle in its class that I liked more

@@TheStraightPipes Sure thing, pal.

Most of these people in here are trolls , you have to realize this, some of them are talking about twin turbo v6 cars as if anyone buys those vehicles. The guys reviewing the eclispe cross are talking about the cvt transmission and its not fast. Do some quick search on Google The Chevy trax with 137hp and a 3 cylinder engine takes 8.8 seconds to 100 , meanwhile the eclipse cross takes 8.76 seconds So they sit in a car and judge speed based on how they feel on a particular day. Crossovers are not meant to be race cars , some of them are hung up on the name eclipse , you would swear any of them actually owned one. Let's just ignore the first gen eclipse being naturally aspirated making 92hp

@@warcrabcyber9908 personally if they called it the North American Pejero it would have been fine. I think a ton of people have this association with the eclipse being that race car from the movies in the early 2000s. Brands are all naming these crossovers to bleed into the good will and name recognition of the old models of these cars. Generally a lot of review channels have this approach. With the eclipse cross, the biggest issue is the gas mileage. It is poor for what it is. That much more of an important review point then the actual power and race car experience, which it will never succeed in providing.

@tahatariq7681 some people just make an issue out of nothing as I said most of them complaining never owned any high performance Mitsubishi vehicle eclispe neither evo. Any ways here is some mpg data Mpg 30% city 70% highway Fuel economy test channel Eclipse cross awd - 25mpg 2024 Hyundai kona n line - 26mpg 2022 rav 4 non hybrid - 25.4mpg 2020 crv - 25.8mpg 2023 crv - 31mpg 2024 hyundai Santa fe - 21mpg 2024 Buick envista - 30mpg 2024 Chevy trax - 30mpg 2023 mazda cx50 - 28mpg 2022 cx30 awd - 27.8mpg 2022 mazda cx5 2.5 turbo - 22.6mpg 2022 corolla cross - 30mpg 2022 kia Sorento- 23mpg 2022 nissan rogue awd 2.5 engine - 25mpg 2022 kia seltos - 27.5mpg Note not all these are awd , the eclipse Fuel economy cross is average but again the 2024 model has awd , the 2wd version would get better gas milage

@tahatariq7681 the gas milage for the eclipse cross awd is 25mpg , the 2wd version gets 26mpg city and 28mpg on the highway. The eclipse cross also has an eco mode which no one bothers to use. The mazda cx5 turbo gets 22mpg mixed driving city and highway, that is pretty bad. In this video they recommend to get a cx5 over the eclipse cross , if you go with the turbo cx5 you get worse gas milage than the cross , if you go with the naturally aspirated 2.5 cx5 it's a little slower than the eclipse cross. The crossovers with best gas milage at the moment are 2024 Chevy trax it gets 30mpg but it's a 3 cylinder from Chevy 2024 Buick envista- 30mpg also a 3 cylinder engine 2024 crv gets 31mpg Even the rav 4 gets 26mpg with a mix of city and highway driving

@@warcrabcyber9908 As an eco mode user, gas mileage is still awful. Regardless, this class of vehicle isn’t great on gas or power to be fair. The CRV is likely my favourite pic because of the size and gas mileage.

Looks more like and old Acura ZDX coupe SUV from like 2010.

The Dart was good looking.

@@mark_u yea but the rest of the car was mediocre. It's only been sold from 2012 to 2017. It failed miserably.

@@jonlosito2004 We're only talking about looks, so it's a compliment 😅

@@mark_u looked a lot like a sedan version of the pre refreshed Jeep Cherokee

I wish!! I need to pay off my mortgage and buy a Ferrari so if you hear me brag about that… you’ll know

The Eclipse Cross is actually quite smooth and quiet and resembles an upscale Lexus.

imagine spending 10+ years in this :(

​@@TheDers52exactly

Ohh good luck with that... It's not like putting 300k to 500k miles on an old Toyota Matrix from like 2006.

@@chrisb9478 they need to bring back their 3000 GT in a V6 twin turbo form, bring back their Lancer GSR & EVOs and their VR-4s. Fire their CEO & designers.

They want to do the bare minimum and rather not put money into R&D .

@@somerandomfella Yeah bring back things that wont sell, thatll be a good strategy in this crossover hungry market

My Dad has a 2017 Forester Touring XT. We've had it for well over 6 years now. Almost 90k miles on it now!!

@@bobdole62846 100 percent what people don't understand. Sports cars don't sell anymore. Nothing like that sells. "Halo" cars don't have the same effect now that the internet is popular. Mitsubishi plans on refreshing their whole lineup in the next 4 years to modern standards, and honestly it's the best business move for them.
