I heard that the new Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder has a very similer ride like a Mercedes SLK. Is this true?

Answer 1

I have heard the same. the SLK is sleek and weight distribution feels the same on the highway, however in the city (such as Los Angeles) the drive quality leans quickly to the SLK.

The Spyder keeps its feel of new car handling for well over 12,000 miles. The Mercedes for over 20,000.

I chose the Spyder because of the dollar for dollar value comparison where repairs for the SLK had costs much higher
and the frequency of repars were less often on the Spyder.

One additional note, I am not patting my self on the back, but
(fortunately) I can drive almost any car I choose; I have tried many many cars and I drive an Eclipse Spyder (2005 Kalapana Black on Black Manual), and I love that Car.

Answer 2

This car is absolutely beautiful.

As for its similarity of the ride to the Mercedes SLK, I have not test driven a single one of them .sorry. The specs however show that the Mercedes has a bit more HP despite having the smaller engine;
Mercedes- 3.0LV6 24 valve 228@6100hp
Spyder- 3.8 L V624 valve 260 @5750 hp

Pricewise- the cost of owning the spyder is about 8 thousand dollars less than the Mercedes. It will be a difficult choice for you to make. They both look darn good.
