The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 8 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and service brakes. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 2.4L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.3 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 31 litres. Every 100 km costs about $15.97 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Eclipse on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Eclipse first, and buy only if it fits your life.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.97 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
