In the end, the Eclipse is a car worthy of your consideration. It drives extremely well, is above average in perceived build quality, looks sensational and comes with a five-year, 100,000 km bumper to bumper warranty and ten-year 160,000 km powertrain warranty. It's a no-brainer, really. Add to that what should be a very aggressive price strategy, and the Eclipse looks destined to be a winner.
