2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I think I’m ready to drive a new roadster in Houston, Texas again. Besides, my MX-5 could sure use some company in the garage. Would a 2009 Eclipse be a good big “baby bro” to my Mazda MX-5?

Hello, Vic. I’d like to add that it’s a good thing you are keeping that MX-5 around. It is still one of the better vehicles that Mazda ever produced. Now, on to better things, let’s talk Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi has a long tradition of performance and design excellence. I think choosing the 2009 Eclipse would indeed be a great choice for your car’s “big bro” position.
The Eclipse has 2 trims, the GS and GT, both with MPI (multi-point injection) engines. Main difference between the two is their power plants. The GS trim keeps under its hood, a 16-valve Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) 2.4 Liter MIVECS engine while the GT has a 24-valve SOHC 3.8 Liter MIVECS engine. In terms of power, the GS cranks up about 162 hp at 6,000 revolutions per minute while the GT does 262 horsepower under 6,000 RPM. Redlines for both are at 6,500. That takes care of the muscle part, let’s talk looks. Personally, since you’re talking “roadster,” the logical choice for you should be the 2009 Eclipse Spyder GT. I loooove the 18 inch wheels on the on an Eclipse. There are also options for putting in a premium stereo system. Not only does the car look good, you’ll look awesome in it, too. Imagine you and the Eclipse Spyder in Houston, Texas. Great picture, isn’t it?
Houston Mitsubishi Dealer
Q: Which Houston Mitsubishi dealer has the best specials on cars and trucks?
A: Well, I’ve found some pretty good specials at each Houston Mitsubishi dealer over time, but I guess it depends on what exactly you’re looking for. I mean, do you want a new car, or a used car, or something else? Because one Houston Mitsubishi dealer might be better in one category, and another in another. It all depends.
For one, the Houston Mitsubishi dealer Gillman only has three specials on new cars going on right now. They’re pretty good specials, though. One is for a Gallant ES and you save $5500 off of the MSRP. Another is or the Endeavor LS, and that’s even better with a savings of $7600. The last one is the Raider LS Ex-Cab, even better still, $8000 savings. Pretty good, but not many.
Then you have Champion Houston Mitsubishi dealer. The problem with their specials is the lack of variety. At least for the Gillman Houston Mitsubishi dealer specials they had an SUV, a truck, and a car. For Champion, all they have are four trucks. But the savings on the trucks from Champion Houston Mitsubishi dealer are more than for the others. However, none of their specials for new cars are actually Mitsubishis. Only one special is, but it’s for a 2004 Montero Sport.
Last of all, you have McGinnis Houston Mitsubishi dealer. I really like their specials, and they also have a nice variety. They have two SUVs, two cars, and a truck. I guess trucks aren’t as popular as they used to be. The savings they have aren’t as great as the others, though. The Outlander, for one, a great car, is only $3000 off the MSRP. Then there’s the Endeavor LS (a popular special) which is $6500 off, so you’d probably do better getting it at Houston Mitsubishi dealer Gillman. The Raider is $7000 off…again, better with Gillman. The Spyder is only $3000 off, but I’d take just three bucks off because I really like that car.
Anyway, it just depends on what you’re looking for. I probably wouldn’t go with Gillman Houston Mitsubishi dealer if I wanted specials because McGinnis outdoes them everytime time.
